Adele’s “Hello” music video has become a goldmine for parodies, and it’s no wonder why. Is it the dramatic sepia tones? The model-worthy wind effect? Or perhaps that fabulous coat? While many parodies have tickled our funny bones, none quite hit the nail on the head like this parenting rendition. Enter singer-songwriter Lisa Grant, who takes the stress of motherhood and flips it into a laugh-out-loud anthem.
“Hello, it’s me.
I would love to sip some wine and indulge in a snack or three,
But alas, I’ve got children to tend to,
One is busy with volleyball, the other’s struggling with D’s,
Why can’t she grasp this fraction nonsense?
I can’t handle this chaos anymore…”
“Hello from the mom side,
I must have dialed a thousand times
To express how this homework is truly breaking my heart,
But when I try, it seems to have no effect on her…”
“Hey, mama, how’s life treating you?
I can see you’ve been stress-eating those Cheetos;
Don’t worry, you deserve a little win,
You’ve been busy plucking those pesky facial hairs,
And your thighs are basically besties now…”
“Hello from the mom side,
I feel like I might just crumble and cry,
I adore my kids, but I’m done having more,
Can someone pass me the pinot noir…”
Oh, the hilarity! Just make sure to keep this gem away from your child-free friends—they might rethink their parenting plans!
