Parenting Abbreviated Redux

[Brennan Kingsland]

Another friend sent me the link to this video and I laughed so hard that I knew I had to share it with you, just in case you haven't seen it yet. It goes really fast, so I copied and pasted the lyrics for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!


Just in case she spoke too fast for you, here are the lyrics. If you're like me you'll watch this a few times.

'The Mom Song' Sung to the tune of "The William Tell Overture"
Performance and Lyrics by Anita Renfroe
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepyhead
Here's your clothes and your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed
Are you hot? Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along! Don't make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone! Get off the phone!
Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait till you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, get the door, don't get smart with me
Get a grip, get in here, I'll count to three
Get a job, get a life, get a PHD
Get a dose,
"I don't care who started it!
You're grounded until you're 36"
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before
That you're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter when you walk
A place for everything and everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on
Get in bed, get up here, say a prayer with mom
Don't forget, I love you
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because, because, because, because
I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so
I'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!
Ta da!!!

Brennan! Thank You - that's me definitely. It's amazing how Mums all over the world sound the same.

BTW guys, if you can get hold of the Bill Cosby Himself DVD, do! I watched it many, many years ago and still quote lines out of it regularly.

[David Cooley]

Hey Ray, that is a great line, it is from the Bill Cosby Himself video, if you are a parent, that is a MUST see DVD! It is 25 years old and still as valid today as ever.

I guess that means we should ask Bill if we can use that line, lol.

[Ray Loesch]

Thanks Brennan That was laugh out loud funny. My wife is still laughing. Hey David, love that goalie line, mind if I use It?

[David Cooley]

OMG, My wife all rolled up in less than 3 minutes, and I still get to keep the job as described by Bill Cosby.

I am The Goalie, I just kick em back into play, lol.....
