Title:
Social Distancing Playdate
Text:
The isolation and loneliness of not seeing peers at school was getting too much for my daughter so we had a COVID-safe playdate with her friend. We packed her bike in the car and drove to their house, where the girls rode their bikes on opposite sides of the road and chatted with each other. They noticed the numbers and letters on the utility boxes on people’s lawns and made them into a code that directed them on an adventure around the neighbourhood. While they didn’t wear their masks most of the time, because they were far enough apart, they did put them on to sit on the curb and share secrets.
