Just spoke to my Dad to say we wouldn't be up for mother's day now due to social isolation; they're 66 and 62.
He didn't really get it saying they are well and so are we, so no problem. He even said his group of mates are coming around tomorrow evening for their regular poker night
It's not just the elders.
Kids have presumed that no school means non stop holidays, trips out and play dates. Trying to find the right words to say "no" without scaring them is, well, effing impossible. I've resorted to "we'll see". "Just because" and "because I say so" are next out.
