Type Abnormal Mom: If loving the Wiggles is wrong, I don't want to be right

    This blog entry is dedicated to Karen and Dan, the only two who understand.

    My birthday is in a couple of weeks, but I already received my gift from my parents. It's the same one as last year too. Wiggles concert tickets for Syd and I. Yup, that's right, I LOVE the Wiggles!!! Judging by the way Nathan throw his head back and cries when I pick my favorite songs yet again, I love them more than my kids.
    Two years ago, I had the ~~chance~~ privilege to go to one of the concerts from the original Wiggles' last tours. One last chance to see them all together. Getting to see Greg on tour, now that's the stuff that dreams are made of!!!!! Syd got to give Jeff a high-five and I almost didn't bathe her for week to keep the memory ;) Then like true groupies, we waited by the tour bus for autographs. Syd got Murray's autograph (and by Syd, I mean me. Cause one day she will outgrow the Wiggles, but who won't? This mom right here!)
This past August was one of the greatest moments of my life (my wedding and children's birth are obviously top the list. I mean without them this day would have never happened.) We went to another concert and this time we brought our fellow Wiggles fanatics. Since my friend Karen and I are both a little nuts for the Wiggles, we decided to turn this into a Grand event. We dressed the girls up like Emma Wiggle. Smartest thing we have ever done! When Anthony was collecting roses on our side of the audience, he noticed Syd and Hannah and called Emma over. Emma was even more amazing than we thought. She bent down and talked to the girls and then something truly magical happened. Emma turned to me and asked if the girls would like to come up on stage with her. I almost died! You better believe we shoved those girls in Emma's direction! As we got closer, Emma said if it will help, "Mums" can come up on stage as well. Oh it would most definitely help!!!! We were on stage with the Wiggles! Just hanging out with the fab four for the four and under!! Emma was the sweetest and spent so much time chatting with Syd. I wished that Karen and I weren't so star struck or we totally could have convinced Emma to be our new bestie!!!!!
What? You think the Wiggles are weird or creepy? What kind of monster are you? Three early Ed majors and their sleepy friend didnt care what other adults thought and combined their knowledge and musical gifts to thoughtfully entertain children all over the world. Now a new generation has stepped forward to continue the tradition. The arrival of a female wiggle has provided girls a role model that won't end up half naked on TMZ. They spend so much time cheering up sick kids and are champions of causes like SIDs prevention and car safety. How can you say that about them? You are the type to kick puppies aren't you? Probably like to tell small children that Santa isn't real. It's okay Jamie, settle down. They don't know any better. THEY. JUST. DONT. KNOW. Real men wear pink, no! Real men wear red, blue, purple, and yellow skivvies!
No, I don't have a problem. I don't, I swear. I can stop listening whenever I want. I just don't want to. But I could totally stop anytime I want.
