What attitude do Mama and Big Ma have toward the kids’ trouble with the school bus and resentment about not having their own school bus—what advice do they give the kids? What do you think of their advice?

That evening, Mama tells Big Ma that she heard Mr. Granger tell Ted Grimes, the bus driver, that they will have to wait until the rain stops to move the bus. She and Big Ma both admit that they are happy that it happened. The children are secretly proud of their revenge and cannot help laughing until Mama separates them to do their homework in different parts of the house. I don't thinlk Mama knows her kids did it.
