The Soundtrack of Your Life
I thought this would be mildly cute, but there’s some laugh-out loud stuff in it.
A high school kid with a trombone, Pete Montzingo, sneaks around his mother playing it to “soundtrack” what she is doing. At times, he is truly clever and funny -- especially given that this is a trombone, not considered the most melodious instrument in the box. She keeps telling him off, but clearly has a great sense of humor and loves it (including appreciating the wit of her son's efforts). A few of the moments show a lot of thought that went into it, and also spur of the moment quickness. A couple might be thought a touch "mean" -- expect for four things: 1) she's laughing out loud at them, 2) someone is either taking the video and so it's all part of the joke, or it's blatantly clear that there is regularly a camera set up around the house ready to record their interaction. 3) she was good enough about all this for him to post it online. And importantly 4) I doubt that this is the first time they've joked about all this. In fact, on his YouTube post, he writes, "i can't believe i have 5 minutes of this lmao but i know my mom low key loves it." ("IMAO" stands for "in my arrogant opinion.")
