me, 1988: my dad calls everything by the wrong name. why doesn't he know what anything is

Just learned that the local school my kid is supposed to go to (she's not, due to virus) has "Mask Break," a daily 15-minute period where middle schoolers are allowed to take their masks off and run around. Probably part of why the school emails us with 1-3 new infections daily
