Remember the song ā€œThe Wheels on the Busā€? I hadnā€™t realized this before, but I heard my kids singing it the other day and realized the song teaches kids about vehicles and not just shapes and sounds.

Letā€™s break down how ā€œThe Wheels on the Busā€ can help adults with their vehicle maintenance.

The Wheels

Those wheels on the bus? If they donā€™t have enough air in them, theyā€™ll go flat, flat, flat.

The Wipers

If your wipers are in good condition, they will definitely sound like swish, swish, swish.

The Blinkers

If the blinkers go blinkblinkblink instead of blink, blink, blink, you may have a bad bulb.

The Horn

If the horn doesnā€™t go beep, beep, beep, you might have a dead fuse.

The Engine

The engine should go vroom, vroom, vroom, but if it doesnā€™t, itā€™s time for a tune-up!

The Brakes

The brakes should go stop, stop, stop. If they go squeak, squeak, squeak, you should go to the shop, shop, shop!

The Money

The money goes clink, clink, clink. Especially if you donā€™t keep up with the maintenance on your vehicle.
