The first costume was Santa Claus.
Since then there’s been Chewbacca, Batman, Where’s Waldo and 16 other costumes—and counting.
Noah Tingle, a 17-year-old high school senior, has been waiting in a goofy costume for his little brother, 12-year-old Max, to get off the bus since school started in mid-August.
Yes, it was embarrassing, at first, to his brother. That was the original idea. But also, it was to make memories, the Louisiana teen told USA TODAY.
“Knowing I’m going to college next year and won’t see him on a daily basis, I thought this would make things memorable and strengthen our bond as brothers,” he said.

Tingle’s mother began filming the bus stop greetings and they were posted on a now-viral Facebook page called “The Bus Brother.” The Facebook page has more than 15,000 followers.
The costumes have come from friends. “I plan on doing this as long as possible,” he said. “Costumes are being donated but only time will tell if there will be enough for the whole school year.”
Little brother Max’s embarrassment has faded. Now he thinks that his brother’s antics are “cool.”
Cha-yah! How could be being greeted by Batman be anything but cool?
On “The Bus Brother” Facebook page, the duo have thanked people for the attention and for donated costumes in a short video. They have also shared photos of people just happy to get a picture with the Louisiana “celebs.”
The brothers seem to be enjoying their new-found fame, but especially the 30-second chance to roughhouse on the way into the house from the bus stop.
Brothers.
