What is it about Adele’s “Hello” video that makes it such ripe material for parody? Is it the moody sepia tones? The dramatic wind blowing through her hair? The fabulous coat? While all of these elements have inspired some good laughs, the parenting parody really stands out. Singer-songwriter Julie Thompson hilariously showcases that the trials of motherhood can rival even Adele’s iconic lyrics.
“Hello, it’s me.
I’d love to unwind with a glass of wine and some cheese,
But alas, the kids need to eat.
One’s busy with volleyball, the other’s struggling with D’s.
Why can’t she grasp this fraction nonsense?
I can’t take it anymore…”
“Hello from the mom side,
I must have called a thousand times
To tell her this homework is breaking my heart,
But when I try, it’s clear she doesn’t care anymore.”
“Hello, mama, how’ve you been?
I see the Cheetos dust on your hands,
That’s okay, you deserve a win.
You’ve been plucking those pesky facial hairs,
And let’s be honest, your thighs are touching skin to skin…”
“Hello from the mom side,
I think I might just break down and cry.
I love my kids, but I can’t take any more,
Can someone please pass the pinot noir…”
Oh, this is pure gold. Just a word of caution: don’t share this with your friends who are still child-free. It may make them rethink their choices.
