Single Lady Song a Hit with the Boys

There’s something about Beyonce’s hit, All the Single Ladies that makes the boys go wild.¬† Well, the under-ten year old set, anyways.¬† I try not to chuckle when I hear my nine-year-old belting out the girl power tune as he listens to hear his earphones.¬† “All the single ladies.¬† All the single ladies.¬† Now put your hands up!”¬†

It’s¬†too cute.¬†¬†And, I cannot bear to tell him that this kind of song isn’t meant to be celebrated by¬†the male species.¬† He’ll figure out all that complicated stuff soon enough.¬† While I’d never humiliate my son and film him in action, other parents feel less inhibited.¬† This video of a toddler boy rocking to the song is absolutely hilarious – especially when his father instructs him that he is not, in fact, a single lady.¬† Not something any young boy wants to hear!¬† The video has, not surprisingly, gone viral.¬†¬†Luckily, the little boy is too young to feel the shame that a ten-year-old would feel if caught on camera doin’ the Beyonce thang.¬† I wonder if the parents feel any shame, though,¬†in allowing their kids to be¬†featured in a video viewed by thousands of strangers.¬† Any other parents willing to sacrifice their childrens’ privacy for a short stint of fame?¬† Now put your hands up.
