We’ve covered TikTok content creator @karencassssss in her impression of “that teacher” who is always popping into your classroom. We wrote about when she portrayed a teacher in the hallway on the first day of school. And now, Karen’s our mom. Taking us shopping for school supplies.
Let’s check it out:
What we love about this mom shopping for school supplies
There’s plenty to love in @karencassssss‘s impression. Among them:
- The frantic energy. @karencassssss does “stressed mom in August” so well.
- The exasperated “Well, I don’t know what you want!” Felt this in our GUT.
- The sunglasses on top of the head. I was informed by my middle school students years ago that this is a “very Millennial thing to do.”
- Questioning trends. “Who wants a bug as a magnet?” “Is this something naughty?” Moms know that if they marvel and appreciate all the current trends, they’re doing it wrong.
- The half-baked assumption that Cadence would have brought her school supply list. Of course she didn’t!
What others are saying about it
It’s clear from the comment section that this TikTok feels real—maybe a little too real.
It definitely got the Cadences’ attention.
Honestly, where are the school supply-scented eau de parfumes?
Poor Mom. 😂
This time of year can be fraught with anxiety and stress for families, students, and teachers. We love @karencassssss for giving everyone something to smile about (or at least experience some collective solidarity!)
