COVID vs the Gate

 I have never been particularly fond of guests.


My gate, on the other hand seemed fond of them.

It was so easy to open and so hard to close...

almost like it was begging people to enter and not leave in its own way.



Therefore, there was a war between two formidable entities.


On this corner, we had the economy terminator, the country ruiner, the time stopper, the pandemic causer, the feared, the loathed, the so-far undefeated champion... COVID!


On the other side of the ring, we had the underdog who stood for the people, the protector, the robber halter, the looming, the intimidating... GATE!


It was a sight to see. The gate didn't open half as much during the battle that ensued.


I, on the other hand was enjoying the peace and quiet. I was almost rooting for COVID.



Almost though, almost.



At the end of the day, the Gate won. and COVID lost its title as an undefeated champion. 

How was the visitor situation in your house like?

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
