This Westchester mom-of-three is the funniest thing ever on social media, according to Pink and Jennifer Garner
On a recent morning, Caitlin Murray’s 8-year-old daughter had a piece of sausage stuck in her palate expander and was trying to hock it out of the orthodontic device at breakfast.Her 11-year-old son, who was recovering from a stomach bug, gagged as he watched his sister.
Meanwhile, their 5-year-old brother colored all over the dining room table.“I was like, ‘Holy s–t, go to school,'” Murray told The Post.

“It’s sort of surreal,” Murray said of her success and high-wattage followers.�...
