Remember when we were little and our moms memorize our lines in the play and all the choreo in the dance, and they were so nervous that we’re going to mess it up? This one is the opposite. Their kids are on the edge hoping their mom’s not going to mess up their line. It’s so funny to watch the kids making sure their moms got their line.

For all the folks here who seem to have thought this was new: They do it on a regular basis for Mother's Day. Go look up past years.
