no, she's not doing all the work the school has set
no, we've not learnt to bake chocolate croissants yet
no, i haven't managed to keep up all my work
no, i've not had any urge at all to clean my house
no. we're not out jogging as the sun comes up to shine
no, we've not been following extra class online
no, i haven't used this time at home for meditating
no, i've not been making scrubs and masks from my old curtains
yes, she's done a little bit of work the school has set
yes, we tried to make hash browns and cook her first fried egg
yes, she's on my phone again so I can get these emails done
yes, i've cried a few times while hiding in the bathroom
yes, i can still see though my never once cleaned window glass
yes, we played twister, yes that counts as P.E. class
yes, she's been on Zoom playing Roblox all day Saturday
yes, we're sat in separate room; yes, we both need space to play;
no, i don't feel guilty, yes, we're both okay
just getting through this time in our own way
