We had the sudden sharp and explosive crack today. It was going to come, it has warned of its coming for weeks now, and this afternoon the tween lost her blob and cracked. Over maths and natural science worksheets and life and lockdown.
I must say, I feel the same right now. I desperately wish I could push her out on her bicycle and send out to pedal out the rage and frustration and tiredness and ever-lasting-darn-it-screen-square eyes. To MAKE her engage with air and space and mountains and views and anything that is not the (admittedly reasonably large at 496sqm) boundaries of our property. To get her heart pumping and her muscles working and those atrofied parts alive with red blood cells bringing life back to wan and limp limbs and blah expressions.
Lockdown can make you lose your laugh.
