When you become a parent, your knowledge expands way beyond doing the cooking, cleaning, and disciplining. Suddenly, you’re discovering mind-blowing hacks that make your daily routine easier, and you’re learning new tricks that prove both comical and effective. For example, kids refusing to pitch in and do their chores may prompt the parents to change the WiFi password until changes are seen. You get the idea.

These ideas don’t come out of nowhere, either. It takes frustrating situations to trigger these.

More often than not, these lightbulb moments come right when you’re on the verge of losing it or giving up altogether.

But if you’ve got a cool head on your shoulders and an I-refuse-to-let-this-get-to-me approach, then we take our hats off to you.

This mama certainly has both traits, based on the unconventional way she came up with to get her daughter out of bed.

Ten-year-old Sophie seems to love sleeping in. Now that wouldn’t be such a big problem if it weren’t for the fact that she also had to be up early for school. For sure, the standard means have already been exhausted: alarm clocks, sleeping early the night before, constant reminders, etc. We’re guessing her mother already pulled out all the stops before the grand idea came to existence.

Since nothing seemed to work, music seemed to be the only way.

Live music, that is.

Some folks would turn up the speakers in hopes of finally getting their kids out of bed.

Not Sophie’s mom. Sophie’s mom definitely knows how to think big.

It happened one morning when Sophie was jolted awake by the music of a live jazz band playing right in her room.

It definitely had her sitting up in bed! With a confused and somewhat nervous, horrified look on her face, that is. And the musicians? Well, they were quite professional but you could tell they were enjoying every minute of it judging by the smiles on their faces as they played their instruments.

It was an out of this world idea that put all other ideas to shame. After all, how many moms and dads would think of hiring a live band for a wake up call for their kids?

Viewers were so amused by it that they couldn’t help but leave some pretty hilarious comments.

“This is better than hearing the terror sound of your alarm ring.

Nobody:
Her mom: YOu lIKe jAZz

I’d rather wake up to Never Gonna Give you up with the actual Rick Astley in my room.

The amount of “I want this as my alarm” coming out of me right now is insane.”

In all honesty, setting confusion aside, it would be kind of cool to be woken up by real musicians playing their instruments in your room. If only you could pick who, right? You’d either sleep in on purpose or find a way to be up on time for the show. This wake up call sets the bar high, alright.

Sophie’s mom surely went all out with this one!

Watch the hilarious video to see the little girl waking up to a live jazz band in her room.
