Children who are going back to school in Malta next week have told Bis-Serjetà how much they are looking forward to fucking up the roads with traffic.
For kids across the country, the last weeks of September signal the end of summer holidays. But for adults, they herald the substantial increase in rush-hour congestion.
“Seeing all my classmates again is great and everything, but what I really love about going back to school is completely fucking up the grown-ups’ morning commute,” 12-year-old Timothy Galea said.
“Enjoy your last remaining stress-free journeys to work, dickheads. We’ll soon be back to make you get out of bed earlier and swear as all our parents drive us to school individually,” agreed Emma Bugeja, 10, from Lija.
“I could totally use public transport to get to school, but instead I start to sob and mumble, ‘I’m frightened mummy, p-p-please don’t make me catch the scary bus all by myself,’ just so I can come back and read the furious Salott comments on daddy’s iPad. Priceless,” chimed in her friend, 10-and-a-half-year-old Isabelle Grech.
“I really hope there’s a massive storm next week that floods everywhere. That’ll be so much fun,” added Ethan Zammit, 8, from Qormi.
Noah Pace, 9, from Rabat, pointed out that many roadworks currently being carried out across the country would probably not be completed before the start of school.
“Thank you Ian Borg for doing your bit to add to the forthcoming chaos. One of us! One of us!” he said.
