Lindsay Lohan isn’t a regular mom. On this morning’s episode of The View, the actress casually dropped an iconic line from her 2004 comedy Mean Girls while talking about her son.

Lohan stopped by the daytime talk show to promote her new Netflix Christmas movie Our Little Secret. While giving an update on her personal life, Lohan — who shares her one-year-old son Luai with her husband Bader Shammas — gushed over motherhood.

“It feels great. My son is my life,” she told the co-hosts. “Every morning, I take a picture of him when he wakes up. I have too many pictures but I want to see how he changes every day.”

When Sunny Hostin asked if it feels like her “heart is outside of [her] chest,” Lohan replied, “There are moments of that feeling. There is just so much love. Everything he does is exciting every day and I want to just capture all of it.”

Whoopi Goldberg then sarcastically joked that she should “wait until he turns 20.”

However, Lohan promised, “I’ll be nice. I’ll be nice. I’ll be a cool mom.”

Immediately catching the reference to Amy Poehler‘s famous line in Mean Girls, Sara Haines threw her hands up in the air and cheered along with the rest of the audience.

Lohan, who starred as Cady Heron in the comedy, also opened up about drawing boundaries at this point in her career, noting that “age and growing up” has helped her come into her own.

“Taking space away from the industry, I would say, is a big thing for me,” she said. “I really needed to — I wanted to miss acting, I wanted to miss doing what I love to do. And I needed to find time to be me and start a life, meet my husband, have a kid, have a real life so there’s somewhere to have some balance with work and life.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
