15 whys to the Summer of 2020

As I sit here thinking about the 'New Normal' and hating that phrase I start to ask myself ...

• Why can I go to a pub full of strangers but not have friends around my home?

• Why doesn't the cub scout leader mute all the kids screaming at the same time on Zoom?

• Has my child forgotten how to dress?

Science lessons with dad resulted in making sh*t

• What was the obsession with Jo Wicks?

• Will I ever want to go into the office again?

• What exactly are the rules today?

• How much vinegar and baking soda is too much to store in the garage?

• Why has the cost of my food bill doubled?

• Will I ever get over the fact Sainsbury's tried to sell me a cabbage that was smaller than my fist and basically a sprout on steroids for 80p!!

• When should I start weaning my child off the 'snacks' in preparation for going back to school?

• Why are people being so weird about wearing masks?

We kept a 'pet' worm for a week!  Next week we're watching paint dry.

• Why was it so easy to put on a whole dress size in weight (I don't weigh myself) in 2 weeks but not lose it again now lockdown has easied?

• Will I ever wear anything that doesn't have an elasticated waist again?

• When did my kid start calling me Rach?

• What the hell is the "New Normal".
