mask up

It was mid-April, early COVID-19 days. Masks were not mandatory yet but starting to become a thing and hard to come by. Should we wear them? If so, when? I was about to leave the house and said out loud to nobody in particular, “Maybe we should get some masks.” A voice from the back of the house, my teen the cosplayer, “I have masks.” I say, “I know, that’s not what I’m talking about. He says, “Surgical masks, I have a box of them.” “What? Why? Where did you get them?” “I don’t remember.”  We are still using that box of masks.
