People – With eight siblings, Jillian Schnerch is used to seeing her mother tired. So, the 13-year-old decided to channel her hardworking mother for Halloween.
On Oct. 26, 2018 Schnerch dressed as a “tired mom” in a display that prompted her mother, Lindsay Hartsock, to erupt with laughter. She marched downstairs in her family’s Rio Rancho, New Mexico, home in dirty clothes, her hair in a messy bun, baby dolls attached to her leg and shoulder and (naturally) a cup of coffee from Starbucks.
“I couldn’t believe how perfect it was!” Hartsock tells PEOPLE.
“I was laughing so so hard! She said she took a look at me [when I was] tired and said ‘I could pull that off.’ And she did, only better! I told her to smile [for a photo] and she said ‘I’m happy, but I’m a tired mom, so I have to keep this look so I don’t break character!’ “
