Are your kids totally obsessed with Frozen? Of course they are! Here’s a delightful breakdown of the stages of that Frozen fixation.
Stage 1
Wow, WHAT A MOVIE! The empowering female leads, the hilarious OLAF (LOL!), the stunning visuals of snow and ice, the HEARTFELT LOVE of SISTERHOOD (sniff), and OH, the MUSIC! Disney really knocked it out of the park!
Stage 2
“Let it gooooo, let it goooooo, can’t hold it back anymoooore!” (Sigh) Isn’t Idina Menzel just fabulous?
Stage 3
“Do you wanna build a snoooowmaaaan? It doesn’t have to be a snooowmaaaan. Okay, byyyyyye.” (Sniff) That part always tugs at my heartstrings.
Stage 4
Sure, kiddos! Let’s grab the DVD and the soundtrack. It’s only the most AMAZING Disney flick EVER!
Stage 5
Oh, how adorable! The little ones have memorized every song!
Stage 6
How cute! They’re singing “Let it Go” all day long!
Stage 7
Wait a minute. They’re REALLY singing “Let it Go” ALL. DAY. LONG.
Stage 8
GOOD GRIEF, THEY’RE BELTING OUT “LET IT GO” EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Stage 9
Please, for the love of all things holy, LET IT GO, children. For real. Just let it go.
Stage 10
Oh wow, now it’s all over social media? Do I really have to hear other kids belting it out too? How many times can one song be played before it qualifies as torture?
Stage 11
I’m hearing it in my dreams now. IN MY DREAMS. Every. Night.
Stage 12
KIDS, IF YOU DON’T STOP SINGING, I’M GOING TO LET YOU GO!
Stage 13
Disney is the absolute worst, and Idina Menzel? Total chaos incarnate.
Stage 14
What’s that, kids? No, I have NO CLUE where the DVD or soundtrack went. Maybe they just disappeared. Or maybe the snow monster devoured them. OR MAYBE you wore them out so they lost the will to exist.
Stage 15
I know you’re heartbroken, kiddos. Yes, I get that you can’t “let it go.” Wow, you’re REALLY that upset, huh? Well… I just have one thing to say: “Let the stoooorm raaaage ooooooooon. The cold never bothered me anyway.”
