Momsense (to the William Tell Overture)
August 12, 2007
I had this sent to me by a friend of mine (who might not want to be named but she knows who she is) and thought it was awesome enough to share with you. I know for sure I have probably said most if not all of these things. I know for sure I heard these things! What about you? Sound familiar?
Enjoy!
“Everything a mom says in 24 hours condensed to 2 minutes and 55 seconds and sung to the William Tell Overture. Every mom does this same “song - just probably not quite this fast.”
Edited to add for those of you who have asked: The singer is Anita Renfroe. Amazing woman. The lyrics to this are here.
