I take my son to preschool everyday and currently, he really likes nursery rhymes. The Wheel On The Bus is his favorite, which means I have to play it a lot in the car, which then means that the song gets stuck in my head. I was thinking about this project while driving him to preschool and I guess the two things merged together. I changed the lyrics to The Wheel On The Bus to reflect some of the principles of microeconomics that I use in my daily life. I am not a good singer, so I forced my husband to sing what I wrote. These are the lyrics:
Incentive is something that makes people act. This concept, is not abstract. I use it everyday with my two brats. All day long! Whenever they do things they're supposed to do. Say thank yous, homework too. They get tickets in which they choose to. Trade for loot! Now my kids to not have to fight. They compromise, and specialize. Trade has made us better off. In my eyes. There's no such thing as free lunch. Trade tickets, for fruit punch. You want new stuff but can't pay up. That's credit crunch. The fancy toys cost a fortune. This is a, situation. For my kids to think about. The margin. At days end I am their mom. So I help, fix outcomes. Which makes me the government. I hope I don't fail.
