Mask Mix-up

Dear Sawyer,

We are going on vacation this week! And it will be our first flight since the pandemic hit. I am a little nervous and not sure what to expect but things have been "normal" for awhile now so I'm sure we will be fine (fingers crossed). We have actually been pretty lax about wearing face masks in public but I do want us to wear ones while we are on the plane so when I was packing today, I asked you to get several packs of Korean face masks for you and JieJie, referring to the Korean KN95 masks you wear to school every day. The following conversation ensued:

You: Why do I need Korean face masks?

Me: You have to wear them on the plane. It will be safer.

You: Why do I have to wear them on the plane?

Me: There is still Coronavirus and we will be in an enclosed space for a few hours. It's safer to wear them.

You: But why do I have to wear them on the plane?

Me [getting exasperated]: Because it's safer! 

You: Okay. Where are they?

Me: In your room! They are in the same spot when you need to get one for school!

You: Ohhhhh, you were talking about those face masks!

Turns out, you thought I was talking about the Korean sheet face masks that JieJie and I use when we want to pamper our skin. Hahahahaha! That's why you were so confused about why we needed masks for the plane ride! Hilarious! Well, you know, having soft, glowing skin also protects against Covid! Hahahaha!

Love,

Mom
