Back in May, I asked her these questions before she really had an idea of what was going on. I had to adjust some of them for now (she’s back in preschool), but she does really have an understanding of the pandemic. I wanted to see how her answers have changed since then.
1. What is the Coronavirus? Germs
2. Who is the president? A girl
3. How many days have we been in lockdown? Five (no concept of time, I tell you)
4. Do you like being back in preschool? Yes
5. Who is the first person you are going to hug when the lockdown is over? Kinley
6. Where is the first place you want to go? The mall
7. What do you think we can do to get rid of the coronavirus? Staying away, eat some oranges, and not getting sick (she’s got this down better than 70% of the population)
8. Is Mommy a good teacher? Yes
9. How did the Coronavirus start? When somebody got sick. (Well, yep. That’s pretty much accurate.)
10. If you had to wear protective clothing to help you, what would it be? A mask!
11. Are you enjoying the lockdown? Nah uh. (shakes her head—Agreed kid)
Thank you. You always push me back to reality when things start stressing me out. Loved the birthday and virus answers fro O. She is wonderful and so much fun and so absolutely perfectly marvelously smart and normal and a reminder of reality. Huge appreciaton for her, and you, and the whole family.
