"Good moning! Pick up the banana phone!", Reese Witherspoon happily posted a fun video featuring his son Tennessee as they were having a goofy bonding time at home.
In a recent post by Us Weekly, Reese Witherspoon took a banana and started talking to her nearly three-year old son Tennessee, and decided to lip sync Raffi's 1994 hit, Bananaphone using the Dubsmash app.
The video started with Witherspoon putting the banana on her right ear and accurately sings a few lines of the Bananaphone song. She then passed on the bananaphone to her son Tennessee who did not know the song quite well, but managed to put on an enthusiastic and giddy performance.
Witherspoon tried to save the song as she sang the final lyrics even while giggling. Tennessee then sang together with her mom, and somehow gets in tune one last time, and made the song finale a blast with his comic antics.
In an interview with Southern magazine back in August, Witherspoon talks about her struggles as a parent of three children saying, "No one's really doing it perfectly. I think you love your kids with your whole heart, and you do the best you possibly can. But, you know, right now I'm feeling sad missing my little 2-year-old Tennesse. My daughter Ava is about to finish her freshman year of high school, while my son Deacon has a golf tournament this weekend that I hope I don't miss."
According to ET Online, the Oscar winner opened up that although it has been a challenge raising three kids while making a Hollywood career, she still somehow manages to find a balance between these two worlds. She says that her mom has been her guiding light in becoming a parent.
In the same report by ET Online, Witherspoon says, "There are some sacrifices you make, and it hurts your heart sometimes, but my kids tell me they're proud of what I've accomplished, and that just means everything," Witherspoon revealed. "I grew up with a working mom, and I have so much respect for the things she did as a nurse and a teacher. I would never begrudge her that."
According to ET Online, Witherspoon also shared her big secret to parenting that she learned from childhood. She says, "We had family dinner every night. That's a big thing I learned from my grandmother-to spend time with your kids and listen to their dreams." She even teachers how to become thoughtful though an old trick. She says, she tells her kids to write her and her second husband Jim Toth letters. She adds, Every gift gets a note or a drawing," she explained. "It means so much when kids are appreciative."
