Top Ten Ways to Enjoy Quarantine
By Amy Fujimoto
- Netflix. Hulu. Youtube. Prime. These are your new friends.
- Hide your snacks. Or just eat them all really fast until they are gone.
Snacks are too tempting.
Better to keep them out of mind.
- Eat your snacks. You are in quarantine. Snacks are your new friends!
- Zoom with your out-of-state family members. The 40 minute time limit
is helpful for when people start discussing politics.
- Stare out of the window longingly.
- Sigh dramatically.
- Yell at your kids that you need them. When they come to check on you,
laugh uproariously and yell NEVERMIND!
- Search the house for your hidden snacks.
I know that they are here somewhere.
Find them and eat them.
- Make your daughter cut your hair.
- Since you can’t find your snacks, bake a cake. Hide it.
Eat it in your closet so your kids won’t know about it.
You did it! You mastered quarantine!
