Pick-up truck owners beware

It's common knowledge that if you drive a pick-up truck in front of our instituto, you will soon inherit 10-15 high school students in the back.  Whenever school is out, the students wait around out front, chatting with friends and then when they see a pick-up, they go running.  I say it's the driver's fault for driving this way, but most don't complain and just give them a ride into town.  It's actually pretty funny to watch because there is a speed bump right in front of the school's gate so the cars all have to slow down.  It's inevitable that the students are gonna make it inside the truck bed.

Today, a truck slowed down and about 10 or so boys jumped in the back, half of them holding on for dear life to the back bumper.  This truck wanted to have a little fun with them so it took off fast and took the next corner sharp and a couple kids jumped off into the grass.  I guess it wasn't driving into town either so a couple of the kids were stuck for a little ways down the road while the others laughed at them.

As I was farther up the hill toward town, a truck pulled up, stopped and out jumped 10 kids.  This was that truck's destination so they had to get out.  But then the kids started yelling "here comes another one."  And they waited until another truck approached and had to slow down for the speed bump, and then they hurdled their bodies into the back.  I was laughing and so was the driver--glad he was okay with them weighing down his truck.  He even had to restart the truck half way up the hill haha  

I'm gonna try to get a picture or video of this sometime soon  :)
