After my husband came home from work on Saturday, I scooted out for 45 minutes. In that time, I managed to get $50 worth of groceries, buy a tea, and visit a book store.
In that same time, my husband managed to shoot a video of William.
Here is an inverted William singing “Run Runaway” by Slade (also covered by Great Big Sea).

And now you understand why I sometimes run, runaway.
Happy Monday.
Your turn:
If you were to use permanent marker to draw eyes and a nose on your chin, what song would you sing upside down?

I will reveal the lies from my Two Truths and a Lie post later this week. You readers left some entertaining stories of your own in the comments. Thanks!
I actually tried this. Drew eyes and a nose on my chin, got upside down and the first thing that came to mind was Tears for Fears – Head over heels. So, that one.
I love that you tried this.
I saw Tears for Fears in concert in the mid or late 80s. “Shout” would also work.
Hilarious!
Yup. Though guess who had to remove the marker from Will’s face..
I never understood before why my mother nor my wife allowed markers in the house. I think I know why now! Great post
Your wife is smarter than me.
Ha! Amazing. I think I’d have to rock out to “Come On Eileen.”
And now, I’m singing that song…
I’ll go with “Bicycle Race” for $500, Alex. (I love old Queen songs.)
Agreed. Queen rocks.
My 13yo son, nah–but my 5yo daughter: she would do this. In fact, what wouldn’t she draw on?
Good point. Does she draw on your Words with Friends games? 😉
You are one wild chick and I’m damn glad to know you.
Someday, we wild children will get together!
Hilarious. Husbands always came up with the best simple stuff to entertain the kids.
True. Or perhaps it’s to entertain themselves…
“I’m A Bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a child, I’m a mother…”
“I’m a sinner, I’m a saint…”
“My Brain is Hanging Upside Down” by the Ramones.
I bet it is. I mean, I like the Ramones. 😉
I think my favorite part of this is that he included eyebrows.
Now that’s a face built for expressions…
As for me, I don’t run away.
Instead, I send my kids away.
#ultimatelazy.
Indeed.
You are a clever one…
Unbelievably creative. Being the mum though my question is how did you get it off?
Lots of scrubbing.
No, I do not want my kids to get into this sort of activity. No, no, no.
😆
The fun never ends…
Hialrious!
Yes. That describes a lot of things in my house. Including my wardrobe.
It would most likely be “You Spin Me Round” by Dead Or Alive, and I would sing it in a very low mocking voice 🙂
I meant to visit your blog a while ago and I’m glad I finally did. You’re hilarious! I’m subscribing to your posts.
A classic song! Thanks for subscribing, Angela. Here’s to laughing our way through insanity…
I just watched William eight times in a row thanks to my 2 yr old who was in hysterics watching him! So funny!
Ha. We found our target audience! I’m laughing at your 2yo laughing…
Well Leanne, I’m not sure what was funnier: William upside down, or a youtube video (that popped on the screen after William was done) of you trying to tell a joke about electrons, protons, and neutrons. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, eh?? hehe
I’m pretty sure the second video is a more classic laugh-at-me joke. Here’s the link to the blog post that went with it: http://ironicmom.com/2011/11/07/joke-telling/
Love that post with the video. I’m afraid I can’t tell a joke at all, either. I can be witty and sarcastic with short quips/retorts, but can NOT tell a joke. And no, I won’t make a vlog about it!
It’d be hard to top mine. I mean bottom it…
You’ve had so many comments by the time I got around to this, but if hasn’t already been mentioned, and you’re taking requests for the next time you leave your husband alone with the kids, I would like to see both Thing 1 and Thing 2 do an inverted duet concert to “Born to Be Wild.” Would that be awesome, or what? I smell Oscar (as in Academy Award, not my dog).
“Not my dog”: bwahaha.
Nothing like some Steppenwolf…
Handel’s Messiah.
Going classical are we? That would be hilarious!
