Though I don't know Harper well, I do know that we talk about three weeks of quarantine. WHich by the way, is not fun to experience.

Zoey is form Montana, which I think is one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. I am also noticing that peoples experiences are all so different, Vivi was quarantined with a swimming pool, Zoey was quarantined with snow and birthdays, and I am quarantined with a crazy brother who took all his clothes off while he was sky-ping with his teacher. Although he is five, it is still not okay.

Isla and I have been friends since six weeks old. Isla and I talk about everything from Snapchat to Jenga.

Amelia and I have about forty miles in between us, but we are still friends. Amelia and I talk about everything from raptors to cancelled Billie Eilish concerts.

Margret is also from San Francisco. It is really to talk to Margaret, my family and I have been doing a lot of facetime playdates.

Harper and India from  Washington DC share their perspective on COVID-19. We talk about sleeping in and being bored.

Though I do not know Willa well, her dad grew up with my dad. She lives in NYC but spent the last year traveling around the world, so she is no stranger to homeschooling. But this situation definitely is still new to everyone.

In the first weekly review, the roles reverse and my mom asks me questions about the events that happened during the week. It is a fun mix of review and interview. Hang in to hear from Willa, in NYC, and Harper and India from DC.

Rio and I talk about everything from getting kicked out of collage to missing our friends. This five year olds perspective is an important one.

I know I said we'd be moving to another state, but so much is happening in CA this week that I wanted to take one more look. Sabi and I talk toilet paper hoarding and crazy little brothers. Tomorrow we'll meet Rio from Baltimore, cutest kid on Earth, one of her moms is a hospital administrator, supporting the doctors who are preparing for the pandemic.

Margaux and I talk about boredom and board games. Previous episodes have been focused on San Francisco, but we are broadening our scope.

While I was trying to find time to Skype with Mattie today for our interview, Mayor Breed put San Francisco on lockdown. We are figuring out what that means.

I talk with Claire, my friend from school about distance learning, changes with her mom's job (she's a doctor at a big hospital), and things we've been thinking about while stuck at home. We are going to learn her perspective of COVID-19.

This virus is hard, but we can get through it together.
