Frandom: Cement, George Washington, and Rapping Parents
September 21, 2012 in Frandom, Life
Frandom is a post I write on some Friday’s that is always totally random.
George Washington
The kids were playing around outside one evening with the balls that you throw at a cheap plastic yard game we recently purchased. They started balancing them on their heads and my oldest son yelled out, “I’m George Washington!” It reminded him of the powdered wig that Washington wears in the paintings.
While I admire his historical knowledge, this is clearly offensive and politically incorrect to those who may still wear these wigs, and I took the opportunity to teach him about being more tolerant towards those who choose to wear odd white baby powder wigs on their antique heads. I’m always looking for teachable moments here…
Cement
What a difference cement makes to the exterior of the house! It also has cut down on some of the dirt that gets tracked into the house by the family and the dog, so score one for me! The cement may have also resulted in me inadvertently running over the actual yard game the kids use those George Washington balls for. Whoops…
Parent Rap
Have you seen this parent rap video? I don’t typically listen to music from the rap genre, but I will make an exception for this. Awesome is an inadequate word to describe it. I want to be her friend.

A recent project was featured on Beautifully Rooted over the weekend. These cards are simple to download, print and keep tucked in your bible or next to your bed. You could even tape them to the window above the sink, or on the bathroom mirror.

I had something funny to say about the ‘wigs’ now I can’t remember what it was… but great imagination. kids will make the most obvious and yet obscure references. Peace.
I liked the pictures and also enjoyed watching the parent rap. I remember doing some of those things with Munch and Mable in days gone by.

ok. the parent rock is great. it’s good to see that some parents still have fun in their lives
First, thank you for teaching your son about tolerance of powdered wig wearers. I am ashamed to admit that I wear one sometimes because of the media backlash. So thank you for the grassroots support.
That parent rap is hilarious!
Kim, I do what I can
