One of my daughters asked her two daughters I (aged 10 yrs and 8yrs) a series of questions about the virus. Interesting to see how much, even at that young age, they understood exactly what a virus was.

Questions as to how it started, how it spread, what a virus looked like and how did you see it, how did they feel about returning to school, had they enjoyed home schooling (Mum is an ex science teacher and now an educational psychiologist), what they most miss at present. Who they want to hug when first permitted to do so, etc. etc.

However, one particular question was to ask them How they felt a similar pandemic in the future could be prevented.

The 8 year old (very much an environmentalist), replied about stopping pollution, climate change, etc.

The older, rather hopefully, replied ' Stop eating Salad'!!!

Made me laugh.

My youngest grandson stands to one side and holds his breath as people walk by. He seems quite unconcerned about changes when he goes back to school and he requested a mask like Daddy’s for when they go on walks. We shall see how he gets on at school as his favourite part of the day is playtime when he plays chase. Also he does not realise yet there may not be any swimming, he used to take his swimming kit everyday as he did not want to miss it?

I went to stay with my DS and family, to help out after DDiL had had GD2. GD1, then 3 years old loved to rummage in my suitcase. One day, as I was getting dress, she took a pair of my expensive, lacy knickers from the case. “ Wear these Grandma” she said “They match the curtains” !!!
