Oh my god you guys. No plans tonight? Nothing on TV? No
worries. I got you covered. Tuck in the
kids. Pour yourself a glass of wine and grab your ipad and/or Iphone And check
out the photos and videos the kids have made when you weren’t watching. Some
one the best entertainment you will ever see. For real.
My fiancé and I did this the other night and we laughed
until we peed.
The photos/videos fell into one of the following categories:
·
5% Coughing-
Anyone and everyone get captured doing this. For some reason this seems
important to get on camera. (My coughing face is super sexy by the way.)
·
10 % Me
on my phone- Yeah. It’s probably a sign I need to put that shit down.
·
20% Super
close up on their faces- Extreme close ups seem the go to camera angle for
kids. They are cute faces but I really don’t need to see up your nose.
·
30% Butts
(clothed don’t worry)- “Now your turn!” “Now your turn!” (This where I started
to lose bladder control.)
·
10 % The TV- Because a video of a TV playing a
video is awesome.
·
5% Peppa Pig impersonations- They kind of nailed
this. Their English accents are awesome.
·
20 % Practicing their toy bin/egg surprise
youtube videos
Okay we need to talk about these toy bin/egg surprise
youtube videos.
Are you aware of these? Basically they are videos of people
opening toys, showing you toy and playing with the toys. My kids are into
watching videos of people playing with toys. Yep. Ummmm. That’s bad right? They
are obsessed with these videos so much that they now make them. And they are
hilarious. The videos on the iPad are ten minutes long each. And as for me, I’m
wandering around the background of these videos making dinner usually. Love
Monster (sometimes with her side-kick Smirker) perfectly props up the iPad and “unwraps” toys and describes them for the
viewer. They end the video with the usual “Don’t forget to like and comment!” I
don’t think they know what that means. My favorite part in one of the videos
was I called out ‘Time for dinner!” in
the background when Love Monster was in the middle of her spiel.
She leaned in really close to the iPad camera and said this.
“Sorry guys that’s my mom.” And you know the tone. She nailed it. Never felt more
like a mom then in that moment.
I wasn’t the only one who got that treatement. Smirker would
be dancing in the background bored of these videos and LM would say, “That’s my
crazy sister.”
Well if that wasn’t the best entertainment with a bottle of
wine in a while I don’t know what is.
What have I learned from this experience?
The girls know the internet too well. I need to keep
vigilant on that shit.
My girls hare hilarious. I knew this already but this
confirmed it.
They are great on camera. Again this isn’t good. I don’t
think.
We need to not watch youtube. How about actually playing
with toys? Or even going outside. Yeah let’s try that.
And the big one, during dinner I should pay attention more.
They are doing stuff. Good thing I at least have the parental controls on those
things! And also, they are extra super hilarious and amazing when you aren’t
watching. I think one of the fun things about watching these is they are being
authentically themselves. And they are awesome.
Happy watching! Please report back what you find.
