'Let Kids Drink.' SNL's parenting solution for COVID-19 is a hilarious new anthem for families
By Tod PerryMay 21 2020, Updated 11:24 a.m. ET
Anyone whose been parenting throughout the COVID-19 epidemic has probably come close to losing their sanity over the last few weeks. No school. No daycare. No extra-curricular activities. So the cast of "Saturday Night" has a novel approach to the situation, let kids have a drink (or two "if they've been good.")
The images of toddlers taking down martinis was a bit much for some people.
But for 99% of everyone else who understands there's a difference between a joke about the stresses of parenting during a pandemic and advocating for juvenile alcoholism, it was funny.
