Personal Finance Break: The Teenage Invasion

There is this child in my home who insists on calling me mom. I don’t know who she is or where she comes from, but she looks awfully familiar. Do you have any idea who she is? I need to find out quick because I think my brain has been infiltrated. She’s playing this weird music and it’s making me sing these words:

Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans
Boots with the fur
The whole club was lookin at her
She hit the flo
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low

Them baggy sweat pants
And the Reeboks with the straps
She turned around and gave that big bo.oty a smack
She hit the flo
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low

After further investigation, I found this…

Somebody help me cuz I can’t stop singing this song. LOL!! And why is this person calling me mom? Who is she? *whispering* I’m afraid she’ll join forces with other teenage mutants and they may try to take over the world with this…uh…music.

I demand a return of REAL hip hop right NOW!!

      OMG! Heard this song for the first time today and was going to download it this evening. You can’t shake the tune from your head. My kids will love it, tho they’re a little young to be seeing the video:)
      Just found you a couple of weeks ago, and it’s really helpful to have a financial beacon out there who has a child, (one at the expensive age:) Many of my fav pf bloggers either have little kids who live on Momma’s love or they’re retired. I always feel like, “What about tuition? Music lesson? Tennis? Snow boarding?” No wonder I always feel friggin’ BROKE! Anyway, you’re awesome and I read you everyday. Off to download…

      lol — I road tripped with my brother for Christmas to our grandmothers and I think I heard that song about 20 times on the 8 hour drive. I gotta say when ever I heard it now I’m like Tootie and have to stop and dance a little.

      The other new discovery fro me on that road trip was I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

      I N D E P E N D E N T Do You Kno Wat That Mean Mane
      I N D E P E N D E N T Do You Kno Wat That Mean Mane
      She Got Her Own House
      She Got Her Own Car
      Two Jobs Work Hard U A Bad Bruh
      If U Aint On Sit Down
      If U Aint On Sit Down…

      And that one I always have to sing cuz it’s my own little mantra.

      I’m a mom of two who is totally disconnected from the music scene…and I’m totally downloading this song RIGHT NOW to put on my ipod running playlist.

      Gotta get rid of that big booty from the two pregnancies!!!

      Lord, I’m not a mother and am totally disconnected from that!

      Speaking of music…you ladies all seem to know where it’s at. How about a post on your favorite music Single Ma? It doesn’t have to do with PF, but who cares?! I need some good stuff to get me motivated at the gym…and in a hurry…since the birth of baby #2 nothing fits!

      LOLOLOL! Single Ma…I HAD to tell you I loved this post…the way you started it off… “There is this child in my home who insists on calling me mom. I don’t know who she is or where she comes from, but she looks awfully familiar. Do you have any idea who she is? ” You have GOT to write a mommy-type book…I would snatch it up with the quickness, I tell ya!

      *mother of a 13 year old son…wondering how and why he taller than me!*
