Kid President has been exciting his YouTube fans for a while now thanks to his young but motivational speaking style and dapper dress code. This time around little Robbie Novak delivers a speech focus around “Ten things every mom needs to know.”
This one goes out to moms! Without them we wouldn't be here.
This one goes out to moms! On behalf of all the kids in the world.
Here are ten things every mom needs to know.
Number One: Put down your phone. Unless your kid is named "Phone"
Number Two: Don't name your kid "Phone". That's just not right. That's messed up.
Number Three: We love you. It's just sometimes we don't know how to say it! Sometimes it just comes out screaming or crying. But the next time your kid screams, you know what they're really saying is, "I love you mom". You're beautiful. Thank you for not naming me "Phone".
Four: Stop cleaning. Our house isn't messy! Our house is awesome! It's awesome because we live in it! My mom got stuff to do!
Number Five: Mom upside down is WOW! Doesn't really mean anything but I just thought it was really cool. Wow, it should be like this. Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Number Six: While I have you here, I want to take a second and talk about meatloaf. Meatloaf is like a loaf of bread but it's meat! Mom we love you but let's cool it on the meatloaf!
Number Seven: Thank you for cleaning up all the poop.
Number Eight: Have fun for once! We love to see you have fun. Dance in the grocery store! I can buy all this stuff! Or sing in the middle of the driveway. You'd feel great. And it will scare your kids so much they'll be quiet.
Number Nine: Hug more. Shout less. Look, I get it, I get it sometimes we do some things wrong. But growing up is scary! There's school, there's tests, there's telling time with clocks that have hands, there's tying your shoes, and kilograms and kilomigrams.
Kilomigrams?
I don't know, it's hard but that's why I go to school. Just hard to grow up! Sometimes we just need moms. Moms to tell us everything's okay.
Number Ten: The secret to changing the world, Moms. Without moms, none of us would be here! Moms, kids love you! You! You, mhm and you!
If every mom in the world knew how awesome they were, every problem in the world would be fixed.
From kids everywhere, thanks for believing in us, putting up with us, and straight up loving us!
Mom, you keep us dancing!
I got swag. I got swag.
Send this to a mom! Any mom! Someone who has been an awesome mom to you!
Let them know you wouldn't be here without them.
Kid President out!
I don't know, man, I met people with some weird names all because of their mom. I met a dude named Corndog one time.
No you didn't! Yes I did!
I met a guy named Corndog and you know why his name was Corndog?
Why?
Because he ate so many corn dogs!
Get it? He ate too many corn dogs!
I'm out!
