Sad Games

Dear Mackenzie,

This morning, you found a stack of the cloth face masks we all had to wear during the height of the pandemic (why does that already feel as if it was a lifetime ago when it's really only been a few years?). You put them on you and a couple of your stuffies and said you all had Covid, which was giving me all kinds of negative feels. Mmmkay, maybe stop telling me that you have a life-threatening disease, even if it is pretend? I don't know if that game was better or worse than the time JieJie and Second GuhGaw packed up their backpacks, sat in the hallway and pretended to be homeless. I overheard them talking about how they had no food and needed to beg for money. Seriously, where is the game where my kids pretend they have MBAs and seven-figure salaries?!?

Love,
Mom
