There’s a ten-year-old boy in my life (not my own, though nearly just as dear) who is obsessed with birds. A couple of weeks ago he downloaded a bird call app on my phone, and we listened to the various warbles and calls, chirps and trills.
Right now we’re in … week 3? 4? 1 million? of staying at home to hopefully flatten the coronavirus (COVID-19) curve and naturally my brain is on budgeting and finances. Whether you’ve lost your job or are just being intentionally frugal in the face of the unknown (and the general state of the economy, yikes!), you’re likely thinking about money too.
When I was little, my sister was afraid of monsters in her closet. I’m not sure who started this, but every night, my dad or I would spray into her closet from a Pledge can we’d covered in construction paper and labeled “Monster Be Gone.” It actually seemed to work.
