She's An Apple
The little lady rolled around on the floor screaming her heart out.
Our house has been afflicted by the cold and everyone bar me was suffering from it. Well, I might have been suffering from it, it was hard to tell as I felt a bit foggy from the beers the night before.
As a result, the children were miserable.
This exhibited itself in different ways.
The little boom slept in a deep warm slumber for most of the day.
The little lady, on the other hand, demonstrated all that could be bad about 5-year-olds and had had about 17 different melt-downs and tantrums over the most innocuous of things.
This latest one was because I had asked her to eat over her plate.
This had led to the rolling around on the floor in a snot-faced mess screaming It's not fair.
I looked to the ceiling and sighed and then as if from nowhere started singing a song.
She's an Apple, She's an Apple, yeah. She's an Apple shes an Apple, she's an Apple oh yeah!
The little lady stopped roaring and screaming and looked at me from the floor in puzzlement. This was probably not in her top expected reactions.
What are you singing, Daddy?
Just a song from long ago, lass. She's an Apple! She's an Apple, yeah...
The little lady got up and grinned, hopping from foot to foot. She joined in.
We started singing loudly together swaying about holding hands. As we got more and more enthusiastic we pointed at each other and to ourselves.
You're an APPLE!
I'm an APPLE!
And on and on.
The good lady came in at this point, a smile coming to her face as she saw us singing and dancing together.
She began to join as I was pointing at her singing.
She's an Apple! She's an APPLE YEAH!
Suddenly her face screwed up like a Badger who has burnt the toast as the melody of the singing sunk in.
An Apple?
She mouthed quietly to me over the little lady's head.
You're an Apple!
I yodelled with great enthusiasm.
I pointed at the little lady.
She's an APPLE!! She's an APPLE!!!!
The good lady shimmied in closer.
Are you being funny? Do you mean Asshole? Like in that Dennis Leary song?
Oops... I've been rumbled.
if you don't know it, fast forward to the chorus 1.40
Greetings @meesterboom.
Thank you for posting this very humourous story. This is sure to be one of those memory moments told again and again......as it has multiple meanings......at least it has a good ending. ^__^
Appreciate the cartoon.......a keeper.
All the best.
Cheers!
Cheers lass!! I think it is indeed a keeper!! The cartoon and the memory both! :0)
Was to edit it down for the little lass. That GIF was the best thing I've seen in a while! Thanks man!
Cheers Papa-P! It does give the essence of the happiness of it all!!
Oops, daddycode has been found out. I'm also glad fathers on this planet do not come equipped with laser vision. The plaster ceilings of our home would have been sliced to ribbons in no time flat.
I've not heard that DL song before. A true classic. And now I'm going to be humming it for the next three days. Thanks for the boredom stomper...
It is a classic isn't it. Once it gets in your head is hard to get out!
The little lady stopped her tantrums after meesterboom sang an unknown song titled "She's an Apple". Later on, the song became a top hit around the world for relaxing the kids's mind. Haha!! Upvoted!
Hehe, one day she will know and I will be doomed!! :0)
Haha! This is funny indeed. Although, I must admit, that I was already laughing after the first couple of words. For a while, I thought, the little lady was your wife. Then, after reading on for a while, I found out it was actually your kid. Later, your wife was introduced as 'the good lady' so that cleared all things up.
Anyhow: I imagined your wife rolling on the floor and screaming her heart out, just because it was cold.
Don't tell me that isn't funny.
P.S. That dancing GIF is awesome! How much time did it take to make it and what programm did you use?
Haha, that would have been a lot funnier if she was!!
That only took about ten minutes, I used an Android app called flipaclip, it's awesome!!
You can do basic
Or you can go full on advanced!
Haha! It would have been.
An android app, okay :>)
I actually have an apple ( I mean iPhone )
I'm an apple...
Don't worry! Its available on IoS!
LOVE it! too funny. Perfect way to goof on your child...lol
Here's a toast..."From here to eternity, may singing "She's an Apple" always stop your child from being an apple!"
It's surely one of the best releases I have found! :0D
haha! classic sir meesterboom..plus the video, I didn't know Denis leary sang, if that's what it was but that was hilarious too!
Hehe, it's been a while since I saw the video but damn it's catchy!!
I found that rolling around on the ground screaming yourself also works. Especially in supermarkets and the like.
I may try it. I like to try new things!
So funny... bad news is when they become teenagers they have those melt downs again - 6 moods in one hour and then your singing is just lame ....
Oh man, I really can't be doing with that. I will pretend I don't know it's gonna happen for the next few years so I don't go insane!
I met Denis Leary and Sandra Bullock many years ago when they did a film, (one I'm sure they are both sorry for making, called "Two If By Sea") in my hometown. Very nice guy! The Asshole Song... what can I say, I think he had me in mind when he wrote it... We had gotten into an argument over the Montreal Canadians, and the Boston Bruins... I still think Montreal plays better hockey!
Funny how little things can amuse the little ones just enough to give one a bit of peace at times!
It's the little amusements that make days of horror that much easier. That's cool that you met him!
