Coronavirus 2020…from my perspective
The virus had effected everyone regardless of if they were infected.
A little Irish boy
The glass dish crashed to the floor. Did I assume it wise to give a toddler a glass plate filled with chicken cubes, sliced strawberries, ketchup for “dip-dip” and “troll trees” (broccoli, because you have to make it fun)?
