Going Viral During Coronavirus

This video has over 2 millions views and I think I know why

There are four generations of women in our family. Under the best of situations, we often bicker and get on each other’s nerves.

This “new-normal-for-now” is anything but the best. Still, we are managing to get along. Sometimes.

I read and watch my daughter garden. My mom sips bourbon and talks to me while I read and watch my daughter garden.

And my granddaughter watches everything through the lens on her iPhone, posting our life on Tik Tok.

This recent post went viral very quickly and is still garnering views.

Why? I think because it’s clever, quick, funny and full of love between four generations of fabulous women.

It took several takes to get it right. Well, maybe about a dozen or so. That in itself was fun.

If I had known it was going viral, I would have put on make-up, done my hair and worn something more attractive than a sweatshirt. But maybe it’s because we were ourselves, that it was so popular.

The world is crazy now. Everyone is looking for a diversion, something to pass the time. And what better than to interact with your family, act goofy and laugh the hours away?

My granddaughter is a graduating high school senior, the class of 2020. She along with all thousands of other seniors have been robbed of a what they had been looking forward to for years.

Viral videos, parking lot gatherings, social distance lawn parties won’t make up for what they have lost.

The silver lining is family time.

And instead of a watching my granddaughter walk across the stage in a cap and gown, (just the thought makes my eyes fill with tears) I’ll forever have the memories of the making of this video.

Thanks for reading and watching!
