Cinderella has Covid

In a profoundly weird and depressing week, I had the opportunity to say something that was weird and amusing.

My eldest was going to go to a performance of the musical Into the Woods with friends, and we were going to give them a ride to the theater.

I just got a text from my kid, and tonight show has been canceled.

One of the actors has come down with coronavirus. 

Sharon (love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed, my wife) has not yet gotten the message, because they are in a conversation at the post service Oneg and their phone is off.

I tap her on the shoulder, and whisper in her ear, "Nat's play has been canceled, Cinderella has Covid."

She looks into my eyes, and we both collapse into hysterical giggling.

I do not know what the future is going to bring, but find someone you can laugh with.
