My kid stayed home and did virtual school for 2020-21 and went into this year VERY aware of public health directives on masking. This is what happened when the school photo company advised she could remove her mask for her picture. 😂 pic.twitter.com/nzkzbraFzG

My 5 y/o was working on a science question that asked if animals are like plants & make their own food. He said yes, which was wrong, but his explanation was humans are animals & we make cake. Your move, science.
