The Rockstars Wish Kings Happy Father’s Day

We’d recently found a storybook making kit and truth be told I hadn’t been too hopeful initially because I’d never seen Rockstar do anything like this before – I mean, he described diary writing as part of school work, I kinda listened with half an ear, then forgot about it til I took a shot at getting him to do this.

Here now, a first attempt by Rockstar to come up with a story gift. Special guest appearances by Little Miss. Today it’s a little story gifty, in a few years’ time it’s a gangsta rap:


Know what that sound is? That is the sound of “Da-da-da-dee” buying a Pony. While preparing the video (which took umpteen takes not just because of Her Highness’ diva-ness but because we then decided to try and substitute their names for “Rockstar” etc, which means Rockstar had to remember to substitute their own names smoothly), Rockstar and I also agreed we would have to take it in turns to keep Kings from buying that pony.

Y’know, because they always do it with good intentions but really we’re the ones who will end up walking and feeding it.

Then Kings  came home from yet another business trip and kept trying to get Little Miss to say “Daddy.” Little Miss, aside from a pseudonym that I only realized today would be brilliant in hip hop, appears to be a very good actress. Kings has been getting virtually NO “Daddies” or even “Da-das” – he was sooooo happy the one time she kind of said it and so the last couple days it’s been really hard for Rockstar and I to keep a straight face every time Kings tries to get a “Da-da” out of her.

I think Rockstar handled it better, I still squirmed and said lame things like “I guarantee she can say it….” Of course what I want to do is scream THERE IS A WHOLE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND IN TWO DAYS THY HEART SHALT MELT but well.

Oh, and here’s Rockstar’s Why I Wrote The Story. We ran out of time. So there is a messed up bed. shrugs.

And here’s the pics of Rockstar’s book:

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, TO ONE AND ALL!!

 

And like the rockstar said, We All Love You Daddy.

 

ps: this is the kit we used

pps: Rockstar came up with the story in a few minutes BUT it took 10, 15 minutes a day for about a week (i.e. when he felt like it) to transfer the story onto the book. I had scribbled most of the story on post-its when he first said it, then distributed it among most pages. AND, because I know these things are important (i.e. there is always someone who asks if he made spelling mistakes), there are spelling mistakes/ not-nice writing being covered by stickers 😀

    Amazing! How in the world did Rockstar and you get Miss Rockstar to say Dad dee on cue!? Rockstar saying “this for..” and he turned to the Miss and she says “Dad dee” – awwwwww…… so sweet! So did the father melt when he saw the video?

    What a brilliant gift! Thanks to Mommy and the Rockstars.

    Here’s wishing all dedicated fathers in the world a very Happy Father’s Day! May all of you get the appreciation that you deserve!

    I viewed the videos again. So what Rockstar was saying was “D’s for?” and Miss Rockstar replied “Dad dee”. It was still so nice the 2nd time of viewing.

    Nice job, mommy and Rockstars! Miss Rockstar is really a gem in team work. 🙂

      You are right! Her cue was “D is for…”

      Somehow she started that some weeks ago when I read some alphabet book and said D is for duck, dog, and she started dada-ing. She doesn’t say “Mummy” because I am the slave who answers to pretty much anything, especially “EH!” and “NGGGGGG” but I think also partly because “D” is pronounced closer to duck, dog, daddy, whereas “M” is “ehm” – isn’t as close to mouth or mummy. We say “ehm is for – ” she probably expects a word like “embolden” i.e. starting with “ehm” 😛

      Rockstar I think just called everyone Daddy…

    awwwwwwwwwwwww….. so sweeeeet. I am sure her “da da dee” will be playing the video over and over again. Wonderful teamwork. clap clap. Can i send over virtual hugs and hi-5s to yr team members?

    Gasp……did i hear Lil Miss trying to say Asia….Bankers club? wow!! And she said “Yeah” too. So cute. 🙂

      Haha re AAaaAAAssss (ia Bankers club)… that will tell you how many times Rockstar patiently read it while we tried to get her on cue. She usually says a lot less if the phone/ camera is pointed at her, and also if we try too hard to get her to talk… Rockstar used to be quite like that too…
