Afros, Korean Lows, And 4 Year Olds
Can I rhyme Lows and Olds? I don’t think so. O Well.
It is not cute anymore. It has turned into an epidemic of sorts. A disease that has swept the Whittaker girls and is infecting them more and more each day.
ANNIE.
I fault Heather. She got them started a few months and they won’t stop. They have the entire movie memorized. Every song. Every word. Every note. And I think it is Sohaila’s calling in life to sing the songs louder every day than she did the day before. Louder. LOUDER.
So tonight she was in my office after I had a real crappy day. She found one of my wigs I wear on bad bald days and asked me to take some pics. When she saw them she said…”I look Like ANNIE!!!” Who cares if Annie has red hair? Not my future Broadway star. Then it was on. The disease commenced for the evening and did not stop for at least 2 hours. Singing OVER and OVER again. Here is a small taste…
When the show was over my poor son got what you knew was coming all along. Poor Kid.
I know somedays he goes to bed thinking…
“OK. I swear a few weeks ago I was being coddled to sleep by a nice Korean woman who whispered sweet Korean rhymes into my soul and everything was nice and soft. Nice and Quiet. Lots of bowing. Lots of etiquette. What happened? Where am I? Are these 2 little girls for real? When will they stop dragging me around the house, dressing me in wigs, and placing stickers all over my face? My other daddy didn’t walk around the house in his underwear in the middle of the day belching loudly while rapping old N.W.A. songs.”
Sometimes I swear I can read his mind.
I love my life, my wife, and my strife.
I can’t stop rhyming. I should probably go write a hymn or something.
Anyone wish to translate that version of Tomorrow? Lol.

That made my morning! Losiah looks like Donna’s Dad in That ’70s Show.
that was hilarious! The pictures of the baby with the afro wig!
By the way, what a great little voice your daughter has! That was a fabulous way to start the morning!
yeeeeeeeeeeeees! it is important to fill the hearts and souls of little girls with showtunes. it is important!
well done.
Walking around the house in your underwear…….
Belching loudly……….
Rapping old N.W.A. tunes………
Ahhhh…. Home Sweet Home!!!
(well, at least 2 out of 3)
HAHA!! Thanks for that, that was AWESOME!
Are you kidding me? Is that your wig on him Carlos? That could be the only explanation for having a wig like that around the house. Unbelievable!
I love the big Broadway ending – complete with choreography!
Adorable!
I fondly remember the days when my siblings and I went through our Annie phase. The youngest would go around saying: “When I blow up, I’m gonna be ANNIE!!!!!”
Hey man you got the beginnings of a actors agency. I dig it.
I. love. your. family. Seriously. Totally my favorite family ever.
(PS – Families are supposed to be quiet? Pfft. We’ve got ONE over here. There is NO QUIET. Except when napping is happening. Like now. So Mommy can work… you know, by work, I mean catch up on blogs… hmm…)
HAHAHA!! I love Losiah’s thought process. Hilarious!! Absolutely hilarious. As are the pictures of him in an afro. HA!
I’m a Korean Bro,
I cannot wait ’til I get my fro,
Losiah!
For real. I’ve been lurking here a few weeks and I can totally sympathize. We have four boys (7, 4, 1.5, and 2 mos) and the older two are locked in the throes of a full-on Star Wars obsession. All I hear all day long are random facts about which lightsaber Obi-Wan had in Episode 3, or which Star Wars character do I want to be when we Jedi fight, or do I remember in Episode 4 when C3-PO was doing this or that, you understand the picture. It’s bad enough that when my 1.5 year old started talking about 6 months ago, one of the very first things he did was to sing the Imperial March. Awesome yes, but it does get a little old. Chin up, they’re only this age once.
Lots of love.
LOVE IT!
Never a quiet moment in my house, either. LOVE IT!
i can relate…kaia’s into Annie too. she sings all the songs too & she reinacts the dancing girls when daddy warbucks & grace farrell take her to the movies (you know…the leg kicks)…oh, also, this isn’t quite as cute…she reinacts the part where Annie beats up the guys that are hurting sandy. one more, the other day, she almost drank the water out of the flower vase & i was like, “why’d you do that?”, and she says, “that’s just like miss hannigan”. (i guess you REALLY have to know the movie well to know what i’m talking about. if you don’t know, just ask your girls.:)
“can i see?”
aww i love it.
I am a lurker but not bezerker. I adopted a baby too and that’s umm cooler lol.
love the blog!
I’m 28 now, but when I was four years old I too sang Annie songs thanks to my mom. My favorite part was the line, “then I stick out my chin and grin and say, YO….”
Yo! Hahaha! So cute!!
Losiah is a good sport. he just puts up with it!
dude i love N.W.A.!! haha
