There is this clip in the first 10-15 minutes of the movie Life As We Know It (w/ Katherine Heigl & Josh Duhamel) that showed me what my husband and I probably look like to our friends. I honestly couldn't make it 30 minutes into the movie because the parents of the 1yr old little girl are killed/die/something tragic happens and the daughter is left with her god parents, the mother and father's best friends. The idea of not being able to watch my Doodles grow old is not something this Mommy can handle experiencing (even if it is through a movie).
But anyway, I'm bringing up this movie because there is a scene where the best friends (Heigl & Duhamel) are sitting in the back seat of the family car with the little girl/daughter while the Mommy and Daddy are in the front seats. They (the parents) are singing a kiddie song loud and the best friends are looking at one another with this 'I can't believe our friends are those people.' kind of face. I completely understand what the parents were feeling and how uncool they (let's face it...I) look to the world as well. They wanted to do things that their child would enjoy. We do the same things and Piper can't sing yet. She can barely get out Mom-ma but we do it anyway. We especially LOVE the Sesame Street songs and music videos played on PBS & Nick Jr. (The Laurie Berkner Band on Jack's Big Music Show is a BIG hit!) Will.i.am even did a song that I am loving right now. In fact, I've rewinded the DVR to watch the clip on Sesame more than a couple times in a sitting. I'm not ashamed. I'm becoming okay with the fact that to the world out there...I'm not cool anymore. So...for all of you not so cool (but COOL) people...enjoy some Will.i.am rocking it with the Sesame gang.
