I don't wanna cause no fuss ... But can I buy your Tumblebus?

The other day I'm driving along, when a bright yellow thing catches my attention. I look to my left and see a bright yellow school bus in the lane next to me. But, this was no ordinary school bus my friends. No, this was the Tumblebus ... the gym on wheels. More ridiculousness after the jump.

Apparently this is an old school bus that has been retro-fitted to now be used as a gym ... on wheels. As their annoyingly cheery website says, "the TUMBLEBUS provides a unique and fun way for children to receive the physical fitness that is so important to their development," ... on wheels.

So I take it the idea is for parents to rent the bus for parties, or have the bus go to schools and daycares. It reminds me of the time I went to Chris Jensen's birthday party, when I was like 10, at the gymnastics school. Difference here is, this one's ... on wheels.

They also brag that 241 of these buses are driving around the United States, so keep an eye out folks.

I'm not a parent, so who am I to talk, but does this really sound like a good idea to anyone? First of all, lets assume they don't drive the bus as the kids are rolling around in the back, like this. But still, something's just off about this whole thing, am I right? I'm sure the people that run the whole program are great, but my kid ain't getting in no Tumblebus.

If you're interested in purchasing a Tumblebus and have an extra $45,000 lying around I say go for it. Hopefully they're performing background checks.

I have coached on a Tumblebus for 12 years! Yes, we are background checked, fingerprinted, just as all daycare employees have to be. We provide an excellent service for parents and their children by teaching gymnastics, tumbling, and dance during the day, so mom or dad does not have to try to squeeze it in at the local gym at night. We teach over 600 preschool age students a week on 3 buses. Our students go on to be all star cheerleaders, gymnasts, soccer players, etc. Nothing "creepy" about it! Just helping kids learn to love movement and exercise. Please educate yourself! I'm sure your children are at home on the nintendo or computer, cuz it's not creepy!
