My oldest son called me this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Mommy!” he said. I could hear him smiling. “It’s your time! You’ve been preparing for this your whole life!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No, son, I’m not.” We both laughed. My house already has Dettol<\/a>, Lysol<\/a>, Clorox<\/a>, Ajax, Murphy’s Oil Soap<\/a>, Pine-sol, and every likely toxic germ-killing product known to man. I use my natural stuff for daily cleaning<\/a>, but I am always prepared for war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next half hour or so, the kids, the husband and I joked about how well I prepared them for this with my constant warnings, “Get your hand out your mouth and keep your hands out your face,” all the funny memes we had seen about “dat rona,” and the news and politics that we are all following to stay updated about the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
