Serena Williams Helps Daughter Olympia with Her Homework in the Funniest Way & You’ll Want to Steal This

Helping your kids with homework is such a special bonding experience — in theory. But in reality? It can be frustrating, stressful, and/or just plain boring. If you’ve ever felt that way (I definitely have!), then Serena Williams has the perfect trick for making it more fun — and her daughter can’t even tell the difference.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion shared a new video of the hilarious homework trick she does with her 6-year-old daughter Olympia, who she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian. As the retired tennis player pumps breastmilk for her 3-month-old daughter Adira, she goes over Olympia’s spelling words with the most interesting definition sentences.

“Pumping for baby while teaching Olympia how to spell… how do you like my sentences?” she captioned a recent video on TikTok. Williams is dressed in a black tank top and gold “mama” necklace as she pumps and goes over Olympia’s spelling list. The first word is “this,” which Williams explains: “This right here, is my swag,” she says with a straight face.

The next word is “they.” “They gon’ get it,” she tells her daughter, who doesn’t seem to react at all, just works on the task at hand.

Other funny definition sentences include “She gotta good shape” for the word “shape,” and “where you learn how to twerk from?” for the word “from.” How she delivers these lines without even smiling is beyond me — I can’t stop laughing at the sheer creativity. You gotta entertain yourself somehow when going through the mundane tasks you’re your kids, right?

People were loving Williams’ approach to spelling homework. “The fact that Olympia isn’t questioning these sentences tells me everything I need to know about this household, 😂” one person quipped.

Someone else wrote, “Serena gimme ya phone. 😂 The sentences are sending me. 😂”

“Sentences on point tho 😅🤣,” another praised. One person revealed, “the twerk sentence took me out😂😂😂.” Same, so same.

All of this creativity while pumping for her other daughter? Such a boss move.

From supporting Olympia’s dancing dreams to entertaining herself (and us!) with Olympia’s homework, Serena Williams is clearly an involved mama. What an inspiration!
