The song tells the story of a couple raising a family, and dealing with all the mundane domestic distractions, from sour milk and a broken washing machine to a stack of bills.
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine, reviewed the song favorably, calling it "a celebration of the joys and challenges of the American family." She goes on to say that Vassar has a "strong, warm voice, and he does so much more than simply sing a song. He injects it with personality and emotion - and he truly brings it to life".[2]
Music video
The music video was directed by Gerry Wenner, and premiered on CMT on June 29, 2000, during "The CMT Delivery Room". The video shows Vassar filming their family on a camcorder at a house, such as a closeup shot of the eggs, a shot of burnt toast, as well as the mother preparing breakfast for the kids, looking at sour milk, sitting on a broken washing machine, having pizza by candlelight, and the family preparing for bed. Throughout the video, Vassar sings and plays piano on a beach, and singing in a living room, and on the same beach, along with their family spending time on the same beach. At the end of the video, the house is revealed to be a film set on the beach and looks just like a toy, and Vassar is sitting in the kitchen.
