So far I’ve shown them how I make breakfast, sort silverware and laundry (good life skills), measure things and a host of others. I even videoed part of the Covid […]

So, yesterday when I sent Lloyd a text with my news, he sent back his 911 story. That Lloyd. He’s always gotta one-up me. I’m in quarantine. A boy in my class tested positive, and since we don’t wear masks, we’re all out for at least 11 days. I’m not super-duper concerned, but I am […]
