If you’re the mom of a toddler, you’ve likely had a Mombie moment.
It’s that point in the dark of night when your potty-training kid has awoken and you find yourself changing bed sheets, scrubbing the carpet and washing yet another load of “big-kid” underpants.
And it’s a moment that Machel Green of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has delightfully captured in a YouTube video parody of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, called “Toddler.” Green, a former dancer for a theater production company, sings and dances with eight mom friends.
“We got the idea from the banter at one of our mom's night out [gatherings],” says Green. “Surely we are not the only ones dealing with our toddler night training.”
Green's husband, Jerrad, and 2-year-old son Noah appear in the video, too, along with signs from the Greens' family business, Vintage Marquee Lights.
