Plague prevention lockdown is hella boring.
True. So true.
Cash, I'm so sorry.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Thirding the boring. We've got a symphony concert scheduled for next weekend and I'm pretty sure it's going to be at least postponed.
C'mon, kitty! They are tasty noms!

Could any Jewish-istas explain to me why my daughter is having nightmares about some bad guy coming to take her away in the middle of the night? I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with a Purim song they're teaching her at school. She goes to a Jewish preschool, but we're not Jewish.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the National Geographic Museum to see the Jane Goodall exhibit. Amazingly, Mr. S was reasonably entertained in it, though we had to keep telling him to not go far ahead of us. (Considering that he got mad this morning because Gary had cut his waffle in fourths, like he wanted in previous days, and sent the plate with said waffle crashing to the ground, that's not too bad.)
sj, Considering that the Purim story is basically Haman(Boo!) trying to get all the Jews killed until Esther(Yay!) convinces the king of Haman(Boo!)'s evilness, that might make for nightmares. I don't know any Purim songs off-hand, though.

Yeah, I think they have been singing a song or playing a game about running from Haman. Any suggestions on what I can say to calm her?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
sj, I'd go with a combination of "that was a long time ago, a long way from here. You're safe" and some kind of Esther Card (maybe in Hebrew?) to give her something she can do when she's scared (like Jilli's Monster Spray).

Thanks, Debet. I thought we had finally rooted out the things that were causing nightmares.

Alas, for some kids, nightmares expand to fit whatever the last big scary idea was.
I've achieved Bup and Kis today. OK, I went through about 15 "Monopoly" cards and found only one new piece, and I watched two movies (Rocketman and The Upside). That's a whole lot of nothing.
