63 - frozen
Brought my kids to an indoor play gym and in one area there was a little stage and music playing.
Cute.
“Let It Go” came on and my daughter and another little girl started singing the song together.
Very cute.
The other girl’s father turned to me and said that he was surprised his daughter knew the song because she had never seen Frozen and they are an “Encanto household”.
Okay buddy.
First off, I don’t believe you. There’s no way a four year old girl has never seen Frozen. My daughter has seen Frozen and Frozen II probably 100 times each. I would know because I sat through most of those viewings with her.
Second, you aren’t an Encanto household. When Encanto songs came on, your daughter wasn’t on that stage singing. I don’t know why he felt the need to lie about his family life to me - a stranger.
It’s actually more suspect to claim your daughter doesn’t know Frozen. A little girl not knowing Frozen is just shitty parenting. That would be like my son not knowing how glorious it is to toot on others. Can you imagine if I withheld that knowledge from him?
Farting is funny. Always.
The earlier in life kids learn that, the better citizens they will become. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

That dad was way too committed to a bit no one asked for. An “Encanto household”? What does that even mean? Did they take an oath? Do they have a no-Frozen clause written into the family constitution? Do they light a candle every night and sing Dos Oruguitas before bed?
I’ll tell you what actually happened. His daughter definitely watched Frozen, but he wasn’t paying attention. Maybe she saw it at a friend’s house. Maybe her mom put it on one day while he was busy being a self-important liar. But now, caught off guard by her deep knowledge of Let It Go, he panicked and made up a backstory—one where he maintains complete control over his child’s media consumption. A total fabrication.
Here’s a better move: own it. Just say, “Wow, I had no idea she knew this song! Guess I have to start paying attention.”Instead, this dude started world-building like he’s J.R.R. Tolkien.
And you’re absolutely right—if a four-year-old girl doesn’t know Frozen, child services should do a wellness check. That’s cultural neglect at this point. Frozen is an institution.
And let’s not even start on the farting issue. You’d be denying your son a core human experience. Passing down the noble tradition of strategic tooting is one of the greatest gifts a father can give. It’s older than time itself. Probably the first joke in human history.
This “Encanto household” dad? He probably fake coughs to cover his farts. A disgrace.
