Good Luck Being Stuck

Well, here we are stuck at home 'cos everything's closed So, we could do what we usually do and self-isolate I mean, each of us could retreat into his room, shut the door, and do what we normally do in there on the internet or whatever Or, we could say to each other, "Hey, this is a real opportunity, guys! Like, here we are together in the middle of the day for a change!! Why not take advantage of this moment in time -- Who knows how long it will actually last -- and do some fun stuff together as a family?!" Like what? Like what? Like what? Like what? (My heart sinks a little as the question echoes through the house, but...) Well, why don't we have a hootenanny and sing our favorite songs? (Dead silence). Uh-huh, I see. Or, we could play charades, you know (Eyes roll). OK. Don't all jump at once. How about a board game?... You guys!! If you're not up for fun, let's at least have dinner together -- You say that you're vegan now...And that you've just now stuffed yourself... Uh-huh... So, as I was saying, I just can't wait till this scare is over, and we can all go back to our normal routines!
