"My son's friends started staying for dessert this year" — she posted it as a light observation. The replies were not light. Someone quote-tweeted it with context and it hit 200k impressions before she woke up the next morning. She does not fully understand what happened. She went viral for Thanksgiving twice. Regular famous people go viral once and are done. She achieved it with a crockpot and a cardigan. The TikTok side is still reposting the original tweet. Nobody told her this was happening. She found out when a stranger recognized her at a grocery store and called her "the Thanksgiving mom."
