FYI, we have an eleven and seven year old!
What is the Coronavirus?
C: A virus that's kind of like a flu and cold and you get cough, sneezing and headaches. It's pretty okay when you are young like me or A but not so good if you are older.
A: It's a virus spreading around the world
Who is the Prime Minister?
I didn't even ask C this one
A:of? Justin Trudeau
How many days have we have been in lockdown?
C:70 days?
A:Maybe like 50 days?
Do you want to go back to school?
C: Yes, I guess but I don't like track and field so it's a good thing we're not doing track and field.
A: Yeah because I want to see my friends.
Who is the first person you're going to hug when lockdown is over?
C: I'm not really sure about that one... (she's at that awkward, no hugging except immediate family phase)
A:mmmmm... my best friends
Where is the first place you want to go?
C: I want to go to Jamaica
A: Jamaica
(As you may have realised, we had a trip planned with my parents and brother)
What do you think we can do to get rid of Coronavirus?
C: Stay home... just stay home already! (preach!)
A: The fastest way would be to stay in your home and heal... that's one of the quickest ways.
Is mom a good teacher?
C: Yep
A: Mmm hmmm...
(I don't think they can really say no, can they?)
How did the Coronavirus start?
C: It came from bats and snakes in China and people enjoy eating snakes in their soups.
a: Scientists gave it to bad animals . (hmmmm)
(Clearly, we need to have a more detailed convo about this)
If you had to wear protective clothing to help you what would it be?
C: it would be a mask, my glasses, a hat (she clearly saw me going to Costco)... Oh and gloves (her sister prompted her)
A: long sleeves, long pants, gloves and a mask and very long boots.
Are you enjoying lockdown?
C: Yahhhhh but I miss social interaction
A; kinda cause when you finish all your work you can leave and have free time. You can't do that when you are in school.
How long do you think it's going to take before we can leave lockdown?
C: 2-3 months. I think... I hope
A: They say until September but I think, not hope, that it will be October.
Have a good one, friends!
Some great answers! I like A's thoughts about going straight to free time once your work is done instead of having to hang around! Very true :)
