Mom's 1st day of school photo is funny because it's true
It's a familiar scene for back-to-school 2020.
One mom's back-to-school photo looks like none she's ever taken before but it's familiar to parents around the country.
No cute signs or first-day hairstyles. No fancy new backpacks or striking a pose.
Julie Burton's kids -- Emma Burton (freshman) and Kate Burton (6th grade) -- were still in bed when their mom snapped the "back-to-school" picture.
"Everyone seems to relate to this picture, whether their kids are in-person or virtual because it resonates how everyone felt in March when everyone was virtual anyway," the Overland Park, Kansas, mom told "Good Morning America."
And, she said, lots of people are copying the photo with their own kids, which Burton said she "loves."
"I’m glad others feel like their kids have really taken to the sleeping-in part," she said.
The girls' first day went as well as can be expected, albeit from home, Burton told "GMA." However, because they are both in new schools, it's "a little challenging and will take some getting used to. My kids miss the social aspect and loved seeing some form of community."
