Lockdown 2021: For Jamaican women ONLY!

What? #LOCKDOWN? Without End!

Get Up!  Get up!! Yu doan understan? We in LOCKDOWN!  Rise and Shine!

But Mom what are we going to do? We can’t go outside and you cyaan carry me to school.

Well I have it all organized. Let’s start with exercise. Alright stretch …..Arms straight up over your head, and down…arms straight. Again….breathe in breathe out.

Alright wi ready for the day. If you look in the kitchen on the top corner of the table you will see a sign. “SCHOOL” Please have a seat. Turn on the google Chrome and let Miss Simpson see you. Today she says she is starting with Maths. Since we are now hamsters in the house the first question is how many times can you spin around in the house?  Don’t count going to the bathroom!!

Mom, If this is school where is breakfast?

Whoa. I forgot that in the rush. Sit on the other corner of the table I will bring it. She won’t notice yu’ not there. Sit properly and doan forget your grace. I forgot today Lockdown was starting so that’s all we have. When your Uncle comes he will bring some grocery.

But he can’t come Mom! We in curfew and he not going to have time to go to the grocery.

Doan worry about that.

Finish? Back to school and iso-learning. Music class. Today we will learn the words to Toots song “You got to be tough and this is a warning”. Lemme hear it. You know you have a nice voice mi son. Almost as sweet as yu’ sister. .

You think she is a hamster too where she is with Auntie?

This thing is all over!

Alright you learn the song from the You Tube video while I clean up. I am going to prepare for Ms. Simpson’s class because these school hours not making any sense. When am I supposed to organize myself, look about the cleaning, follow up with the other mothers on the internet? And make some money too? This is stressful. From the news release on the TV it looks like is only the big man making money, making masks and buying up the small businesses. What’s new?

Jonathan yu finish? Social Studies class start already. Yu’ not watching the screen to see what’s going on?

Mom, do you know Toots died recently?

Really from what?.

And Bunny Wailer too..

I think he just died.

Well sorry to hear but this is one hamster that doan have that in mind right now. So class!

Poor lady, she one teaching everything. I hope she can manage. When we get through today we definitely have to have a prayer session. God is in charge.
