Isolation Interview with 3 Unicorns

I took the time to interview the three unicorns on their opinions related to our COVID-19 isolation and physical distancing.

Jo and Big Pig
Addy and Pikachu
Ry and Eevee

















What are you enjoying right now about physical distancing?

Rylyn (Age 9) - Nothing.
Addisyn (Age 8) - No school. Spending more time with my family and my stuffie Pikachu.
Josette (Age 4.5) - Punching "Big Pig!"

What is annoying right now about physical distancing?

Rylyn - Missing my friends.
Addisyn - Missing my friends and Josie's constant whining.
Josette - Not seeing Gunner. He's not my boyfriend. I'm not allowed one. But, he basically is. *grins*

What has been your favourite activity since being home?

Rylyn - Playing with my stuffie Eevee. It reminds me of my friend Emma. She has the same one.
Addisyn - Playing with Griffin and Greta and my stuffie Pikachu.
Josette - Playing with Greta.

Disclaimer: Before I am stoned by the Internet Police, Chris' sister is a nurse and we have given child care. If this still bothers you, pretend Griffin and Greta are my house elves. We are otherwise in isolation outside of essentials and not receiving visitors.

Note to self: Stop wasting my time and effort with Pinterest-inspired forgettable moments.

What do you think God has to say about COVID-19?

Rylyn - He doesn't like it and He's trying to make it go away.
Addisyn - It's not good.
Josette - That we love Him. Write that down, Mom!

How is God trying to make COVID-19 go away?

Rylyn - His awesome power and giving people the idea to stay inside.
Addisyn - He gave us brains to use.
Josette - ... *blinks* ...

What do you want to say to anyone who is scared?

Rylyn - [COVID-19] is less aggressive if you are a child. You can worry less if you stay inside.
Addisyn - Don't be afraid. God is with you.
Josette - You should punch a Big Pig. It helps you calm down.

To Chris: What is it like being on lockdown with 4 girls?

Thank God I have a garage.

Chris' people, this is not permission to visit in a social distance-fashion. He has a cellphone. He will be fine. Stay home, as much as possible.

Bonus

While writing this, despite all of our teaching, Josette was sent to her room for walking over to Rylyn and sneezing on her on purpose.

My child, listen to what I say,
and treasure my commands.
Tune your ears to wisdom,
and concentrate on understanding...

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
He guards the paths of the just
and protects those who are faithful to him.


Proverbs 2:1,2,7,8

May we who are not dealing illness and who can stay home, count that blessing and pray for those who are sick or must serve others at this time.
