I gave birth to Kanye West

March 16, 2016

 

I have recently realised that my daughter is actually Kanye West. Not convinced? Well let me explain;

 

 

•Like Kanye my daughter is riding the seesaw of emotions. One minute she is happy and she is giggling away, the next minute she is having a very public meltdown in Waitrose, screeching as she lies on her back and flaps her arms like an injured bird. The reason for this outrage? Well like Kanye it is because i’m not letting her express her creativity, which apparently is demonstrated by leaving tooth marks in all of the carrots. The carrots to youngest are what twitter is to Kanye.

 

 

•Whilst Kayne continues to extend the lyrical and musical boundaries of rap my daughter continues to do this with the English language. Inventing new words that we must understand or face the wrath. Some of these words include foof for seatbelt and pancakes for Jaffa Cakes. Clearly a genius.

•Kanye describes himself as “the most important living artist” threenager would describe herself as the most important person in the whole entire world. As such we must worship and do exactly what threenager demands. Threenager is very self-indulgent.

 

 

•Like Kanye we must never ever question the genius that is threenager. Who are we to say that ice-lollies are not acceptable to eat for breakfast? No, we must accept that ice-lollies are indeed the perfect breakfast. We must applaud threenager for inventing a new breakfast that is perfect for children who demand breakfast on the go.

•Kanye once said “there’s nothing i’m doing that’s uncool” and like Kanye threenager has invented her own ‘unique’ fashion line which involves wearing princess dresses over jeans and with welly boots. But also like Kanye we must not openly criticise her fashion choices. No, it’s our fault that we don’t always get her fashion choices. Threenager is just being so innovative.

 

 

•Kanye once said that he was “more that 50% responsible for every man’s shoe that they sell. This is the same for threenager, but instead of shoes it’s biscuits and it’s threenager (well me, acting on her behalf) buying all of the biscuits. There was a headline the other day in the Jersey Evening Post that there was a shortage of biscuits on the island. I realised then that threenager had finally done it, she had eaten all the biscuits on the island. Impressive work.

 

 

•Kanye is running for president. Threenager is already president in our house, hang on president isn’t the right word. Perhaps despot?

•Kanye has a love hate relationship with the paparazzi. This is the same for threenager, she will happily pose for photos when she is the star of the show but lo and behold if she has to pose with anyone. No, that will not work for threenager. Recent example of this being when she refused to pose with oldest in her school photo. Cue an epic Kanye meltdown which involved her screaming “no” and stamping her foot. Very Kanye.

 

 

•Kanye can feel a little hard done by and has had an epic twitter rant about how poor he is. The same goes for threenager who is also very hard done by as I won’t let her eat biscuits morning, noon and night. Cue epic ranting.

•Kanye sees the world as his “own canvas” and so does youngest. This includes expressing herself on my white walls, on herself and on her sister.

 

 

•Kanye once said “I will be the loudest voice” Yep, threenager has that nailed, just ask the neighbours.

•Threenager also agrees with Kanye that “ninjas are totally cool….I just don’t know any personally” but threenager can go one better as she is an actual ninja too and one that likes to practice her moves on me!

So that concludes my evidence and by now I hope that I have persuaded you that my daughter could actually be Kanye. Still not convinced? Well, let me leave you with this question -

Have you ever seen threenager and Kanye in the same room?

Ah-ha! I rest my case.

    Haha excellent! I’m not sure which is more disturbing - the fact that your child is like Kanye, or the fact that Kanye is like a three year old…sounds about right to me! Great post x #bestandworst

    • islandliving365 says

      March 16, 2016 at 10:47 am

      haha, I’m going to go with Kanye being like a three year old as more disturbing 🙂 x

      It really is, isn’t it! Rather worrying really 🙂

    I think Glastonbury has their 2016 headline act sitting in your living room :o). I think princess dresses with jeans and wellies sounds perfect, all weather and all occasion dressing. Its the new Yeezy…or should that be threezy (bad joke, I know)

    Great post, loved it #bestandworst

    Renee @peonieandme

      haha, love a bit of threezy! She certainly turns heads on the school run in clothes combos. Thanks for your comment 🙂

    I love this analogy. Very clever post. Made me giggle about only wanting photos alone!! #KCACOLS

    Holy Crap I don’t think the world can cope with two Kanye’s! This made me giggle. One of my favourite pastimes is laughing at all things Kanye. Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics

    • islandliving365 says

      March 18, 2016 at 10:38 am

      I actually love Kanye a little bit and if I am ever faced with a tricky situation I think what would Kanye do and then I do the exact opposite. You have to admire the man for his self-confidence though!

    This was hilarious! I think my 6 yr old might be catching the Kanye bug! I often refer to her as 6 going on 16. Were we this bad when we were little and just don’t remember it? Maybe it’s something in the air 😀

    March 18, 2016 at 7:47 pm

    Omg I love this!!!! My threenager styled a bow tie courtesy of his big brothers book day willy wonka costume and trainers purposely on the wrong feet into nursery #awkward #toddler style

    • islandliving365 says

      March 18, 2016 at 7:53 pm

      Haha, I’m sure Kanye would have approved of his styling, he probably would have gone on a rant about the fact that there is no such thing as wrong feet, just right feet 🙂

  13. Chantal Milk&Nappies says

    March 18, 2016 at 8:59 pm

    Hahaha I loved this!! I have a one year old and have just started to realise what I’m in for during these toddler years! xx

    • islandliving365 says

      March 19, 2016 at 8:59 am

      Argh it will be fine. Just repeat to yourself “it is just a phase, this won’t last forever” 😉

  14. Love From Clueless Mum says

    March 18, 2016 at 9:01 pm

    I think you’ve just predicted my future… My 19 month old is currently working on most of these Kanye inspired skills. I suppose at least with children we can remind ourselves that “it’s only a phase” as we wonder how to respond to a tantruming toddler on the supermarket floor. #FridayFrolics

    • islandliving365 says

      March 19, 2016 at 8:57 am

      Yes, thank goodness it is only a phase. I wonder if that is what Kim thinks when Kanye is having one of his twitter rants-haha 😉 x

  15. Maria says

    March 19, 2016 at 9:33 am

    This is brilliant and made me laugh! What a great analogy - my three year old is the same with photos too. Lol

    Thank you for linking up to #KCACOLS and I hope to see you back again on Sunday X

    March 20, 2016 at 8:28 am

    Hee hee this is awesome! I actually think your youngest IS Kanye - you make a very compelling case! Come to think about it, my nearly-threenager has a bit of the Kanye’s about her too! x x #TheList

    • islandliving365 says

      March 20, 2016 at 8:51 am

      Well if you can’t be a diva as a toddler and threenager then when can you 🙂 x

  17. Helen Gandy says

    March 20, 2016 at 7:30 pm

    Haha, loved reading this!! What an ace comparison. Thanks for linking up #bestandworst

      Thanks 🙂

    Superb! Refreshing and somewhat comforting to know we are not alone. We all really do have mini Kanye’s. Mine is now 5……

    • islandliving365 says

      March 25, 2016 at 9:27 am

      haha, yes I have a 6 year old who is also a little diva 🙂 They will grow out of it, won’t they???

  19. Adele says

    March 26, 2016 at 8:05 pm

    Kanye but cuter! I feel your pain; your little Kanye has an evil twin in Scotland. It gets better, right?

    • islandliving365 says

      March 28, 2016 at 8:46 am

      I keep telling myself it gets better! No it does, 6 year old is far better behaved and we don’t really have any diva strops! 🙂
