Constructing Some Weird Sentences

I’m a paraeducator, waiting outside my school with a group of special needs students who take the bus home. Several school buses have pulled up, but due to construction, it’s hard to see all the way to the end of the line. One of the drivers at the end of the line parks her bus and comes over toward us so her students can find her. She briefly says hi to another driver, and when she turns back to our group, one of her students is there.

Driver: “Oh, [Student], hi!”

Student: “Ms. [Driver], I didn’t recognize you.”

Driver: *With a shrug* “No worries; my face looks different from the back.”

It was absurd but also completely accurate!
