Snack time is sacred. It’s that important time between meals where you get to eat something sweet or savory to hold you over until your next meal. Without it, you risk getting cranky, irritable, or downright hangry — and Serena Williams’ 6-year-old daughter Olympia knows it is not to be missed. No matter what else is happening at the moment! In this case, Olympia interrupted a TikTok to munch on something, and the whole thing is so funny.
“I take olympia to the car wash for fun. Gotta teach her the oldies :)” the 23-time Grand Slam champion captioned the TikTok. It started as a sweet mother-daughter moment, with Williams in the front seat filming herself and Olympia in the back. Williams sings “at the car wash!” from the 1976 song “Car Wash” by R&B band Rose Royce. Then, she turns the camera to Olympia, who croons, “whoa, whoa, whoa!”
Williams repeats her line, periodically turning the camera to Olympia to catch her part. It is utterly adorable and moving along perfectly … until it was time for a snack. When it was time for Olympia to sing her part, she completely missed her cue because she was eating something and gazing out the window. Singing with mom is great, but not when it interrupts the most important time of the day!
“OK, you can’t be eating while we’re trying to work on our singing,” Williams tells her daughter right before the video cuts off. You can’t blame the girl, she was hungry!
People defended Olympia in the comments. “The backup singer needs her snack first!” one person wrote. Someone else wrote, “She was slightly busy 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥.”
“Priorities, snack, then sing 🫶🏽🫶🏽,” another person commented. You know that’s right!
Earlier this month, Williams, who shares Olympia and daughter Adira, 5 months, with husband Alexis Ohanian, shared a video of her eldest daughter interrupting another video.
“This is me trying to explain my post match press conference make up,” the retired tennis star wrote on TikTok. “But of course I got interrupted … So i did not finish but hey this is mom life.”
While doing her makeup as quick as possible to demonstrate what it was like getting ready for a press conference after a match, Williams said, “And as a mom, I have three minutes before my daughter comes in — and there she is.”
Olympia walked by at that exact moment and noticed her mom was putting makeup on. “What are you …why are you putting makeup on?” Olympia asked.
“Well, because. Why wouldn’t I?” Williams responded.
Then, Olympia called her out. “Are you going to a ball or something?” Olympia asked. “Where are you going with lipstick, blush, and stuff?”
It’s a good thing kids are so cute, otherwise they would be so annoying!
