Pedicure in the Time of Coronavirus

My little boy has been asking to paint my toenails since the quarantine began. On this day, I realized that he was hearing the word “no” over and over again, day in and day out. No we can’t have a playdate. No, you can’t go back to preschool. No we can’t go to the playground, the swimming pool, out to eat. I decided it was time to getting back to saying yet when ever I could.
