The following is excerpted from an online article posted by Parents
We’ve all been there, whether we wanted to be or not: A single unexpected event or moment can turn out lives upside down—or send us down a figurative rabbit hole. Perhaps that’s why the recent TikTok trend “the rabbit got me” has become so popular—we can all relate to being (figuratively) knocked off our feet by a tragedy.
“The phrase is a reference to Alice falling down the rabbit hole in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and has become a way for parents to give voice to aspects of parenthood that feel surprising, messy, unexpected, and chaotic,” she continues.
Just like the rabbit in Alice’s life, the rabbit coming into the lives of these parents symbolizes a moment in time where their lives changed, sometimes dramatically—a moment that was outside of their control, forcing them to adjust or adapt.
