Description

I thought it might be cool to go 'viral' on social media. And then we did. And now I'm not so sure it's all that it's cracked up to be. Though there's no adult language in this episode, it still has an Explicit rating because there are topics around online bullying and derogatory comments that are not meant for little ears. 

In this episode mom Lisa explains how an Instagram reel that went viral elicited a broad range of comments—some thoughtful, some ignorant and some downright awful. 

Avery is absent in this episode (she is fine, just taking the week off). She'll be back next week!
