\"We were just having a great time,\" Remmell told \"Good Morning America.\" \"They were doing the fan cam, and people were singing in the crowd and they were scanning the audience. My son looked up at me and is like 'We’re on TV, and you’re still here singing.'\"
That didn’t stop her.
\"I just started singing right to him. I figured it would embarrass the crap out of him because by then, everyone was kind of cheering and clapping, so we just kept on singing,\" she added.

Remmell, a special projects coordinator at the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, also wanted to teach her son something else through her dramatic performance.
“A lesson that I try to tell my son is that you don’t have to worry too much about what others think,” she shared. “As long as you’re doing your best and you’re being respectful and carrying yourself with class, you can still have fun.”
Many who saw the video also reached out to her to express how much they loved it.
“I had people reach out to me from Alabama, Australia ... Everybody’s just saying that they can relate to being a fun parent, and it’s great to see that not everything has to be so serious,\" Remmell said.
Remmell also said she's happy to spread some joy and laughter.
“It’s so positive and you need that in this day and age,” she said. “Sometimes there’s just too much negativity, and I know that it happens in the world -- and that’s life -- but that’s great that this can bring some positivity.”

To Remmell’s surprise, even the \"Sine U Been Gone\" singer herself noticed the Terps’ video and weighed in.
\"This is my kind of mama. #ThatKidIsNotHavinIt,” Kelly Clarkson tweeted.

“I was shocked!” Remmell said of Clarkson’s response. “I didn’t think that with the Terps putting it out there that it would even reach Kelly Clarkson, and now it’s just gone everywhere. I love that she can relate to it. She's great!”
Remmell’s son has also warmed up to her performance since the video went viral.
“He was kind of excited once it actually started to get out there,” she said. “He still gets embarrassed easily, but he is a fan of the whole situation.”
