Nothing beats a creative, homemade Halloween costume, especially when it’s being worn by an adorable kid. But this girl’s costume is not only cute, it has moms everywhere feeling slightly offended–and also cracking up.

She’s dressed up “as a mom,” and wait until you see what that entails: Dark under-eye circles, messy hair, a sweatshirt stained with spit-up, and two crying babies (one of whom is literally dangling from her leg!).
