"In August, their route got a new feature: screaming children. In a now viral TikTok video, Wombolt, 22, documented what happens when she and her boyfriend run past their neighborhood's school bus. As they jog by, elementary school students wave and scream from the open bus windows. Wombolt tells TODAY.com when it first happened, they had no idea why the kids were shouting. "It was the biggest shock," she says. "Then the next day, they did it again, and we thought they were saying 'shirtless boy.'""
"They returned to the neighborhood for a jog on Sept. 9 - and were chased down by little girls from the bus. "There were two of them sprinting up to us, and they're like, 'Stop, stop! Is that shirtless dude?'" Wombolt says. "We stopped our run and started talking to them, and they were like, 'The whole school bus thought you disappeared and you moved neighborhoods because we haven't seen you in a week. We've been so sad.'""
Lizzie Wombolt and Caleb Robinson set a running routine in their Kansas City neighborhood, jogging several times a week around 4 p.m. Elementary school students on a passing school bus began waving and screaming as the couple ran by. The couple initially did not understand the shouting, then realized the students were reacting to Robinson being shirtless. After briefly changing their route, they returned and were enthusiastically chased by third-grade girls who explained the bus had missed them and been sad. One girl later gave Wombolt a drawing labeled "Shirtless dude" depicting Robinson's abs. The interactions were captured in a viral TikTok video.
