On Episode 423 of Big Fat Positive, we talk about this iconic performance, a screen time wake-up call, a dental mystery, and more. Listen wherever you get your pods!

Hear the full story (plus talk of toddler cave paintings, Gerber's failed baby-food product, a TikTok trend that stops toddler meltdowns cold, and more) on episode 422 of Big Fat Positive. Listen wherever you get your pods!
