If you’ve ever faced the morning rush with kids, you’ll know it can feel like a scene from a sitcom gone wrong. The latest funny parody from the Johnson family, “It’s So Tough To Get Them Moving,” hilariously encapsulates the chaos of getting out the door on a school day.
While sleepless nights are often associated with parenting, it’s the frantic mornings that can really drive you up the wall. The Johnsons, always a hit with their family-themed parodies, took on this relatable struggle in their new video. Set to the tune of Boyz II Men’s classic hit “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday,” the song humorously addresses everything from the dreaded wake-up call to the frantic scramble for shoes just minutes before departure.
The video kicks off with mom, Lisa Johnson, dragging her sleepy kids from their beds while dad, Mark, croons into the mic: “Just rise and shine, Please sit up and brush your tangled hair. It’s time for class. Don’t make me pull a stunt and take your stuffed bear. Getting down the stairs, what’s the holdup? Staring at your clothes like it’s a horror movie. It’s so hard to get ’em out the door, every morning.”
As the chaos unfolds, Lisa sips her coffee, looking overwhelmed while the kids squabble, zone out, and take forever to get ready. From the classic “where are my shoes?” to the age-old refusal to wear pants, every parent will recognize this morning madness. Mark captures the essence of the struggle perfectly when he sings, “Any hints? Where’s your footwear? You can’t go to school with bare feet. All I know is on weekends you’re up at 6, but come school days, you’re like a zombie, and I end up waking you three times before we leave, and I feel like pulling my hair out!”
Even though the video was just released a few hours ago, it’s already racked up nearly two million views. Seriously, what parent can’t relate? Weekday mornings can be brutal, and with over 25,000 shares, it seems many agree with the Johnsons. Countless viewers have chimed in with their own stories of wild mornings, thanking Lisa and Mark for reminding us we’re not alone in this struggle.
It’s clear that no matter how much preparation we do the night before, getting the family out the door is a challenge no one escapes. But thanks to the Johnson family, we now have a catchy tune to sing as we race back inside for the umpteenth time to grab a forgotten lunchbox.
