DISCOVERIES DURING HIBERNATION

The strong limits on social contact have provided a great amount of time for reflection. Here are a few examples of the deepened awareness people have experienced.

People keep asking: "Is the coronavirus REALLY all that serious?" Listen y'all, the churches and casinos are closed. When heaven and hell agree on the same thing, it's probably pretty serious.

The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.

Appropriate analogy: "The curve is flattening so we can start lifting restrictions now" = "The parachute has slowed our rate of descent so we can, take it off now."

Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We wander around the house looking for food. We get told "No" if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about going for walks and car rides.

I hope they give us two weeks notice before letting us go back into the real world again. I think we'll all need time to become ourselves again. And by "ourselves," I mean lose 10 pounds, cut our hair, and get used to not drinking at 9:00 a.m.

When this quarantine is over, let's not tell some people.

Okay, the schools are closed. So do we drop the kids off at the teacher's house, or what?

Home school Day 1: I'm trying to figure out how I can get the kid transferred out of my class.
