Everyone’s favorite blogger, Darla of She’s a Maineiac wrote this piece recently:
Read it here: Mama’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Bloggers
It inspired me and I thought maybe the lyrics to this song needed to be written… you know… ’cause I’m a blogger… so here it is:
If you’d like to sing along…
Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be bloggers
Don’t let ’em write stories for virtual friends
Help ‘em to realize that blog never ends
Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be bloggers
Their always alone, always on their I-Phone
Even with people they love
Bloggers ain’t easy to love ‘cause they’re never around
Locked in their office pretendin’ to be so profound
But their mostly on Facebook and checking their stats page
For hours and hours every day
And if you don’t understand ’em, well you don’t need to worry
Because most of ‘em just fade away
Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be bloggers
Don’t let ’em write stories for virtual friends
Help ‘em to realize that blog never ends
Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be bloggers
They’re always alone, always on their I-Phone
Even with people they love
Bloggers like posting their recipes and old family photos
Stories ‘bout children and travelin’ and psycho ex-boyfriends
And them that don’t understand the blogger’s obsession
to write when you got nothin’ to say
They ain’t wrong, they’re just needy and they’re pride won’t let ‘em
stop writing those words every day
Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be bloggers
Don’t let ’em write stories for virtual friends
Help ‘em to realize that blog never ends
Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be bloggers
They’re always alone, always on their I-Phone
Even with people they love
They’re always alone, always on that I-Phone
Even with people they love
