Keep It in the Family

‘It’s like Jumanji,’ I say. ‘I’m half expecting Dwayne Johnson to appear on a motorbike.’ My joke falls on deaf ears.

‘I put Finn’s Buzz Lightyear and cars in our loft when he grew out of them. They’re still up there somewhere. We should dig them out for the baby.’ ‘So Buzz and Woody are leaving messages for us on skirting boards, are they?’ Mia snaps.

I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be doing this commute anyway, because if what they’re saying is true and this Covid thing continues to spread, I might be working from home for a while during a lockdown.
