Kina makes for an exasperated nanny, running around as she does with three demanding stuffies. How can she be expected to maintain with all their various needs and complaints? It’s worth noting that Kina never takes all of them outside—she takes them to “pretend outside”, which is usually somewhere in her bedroom (and never on her bed). I think she’s somehow internalized this idea of cabin fever in the age of COVID and knows instinctively that you can’t just spend all day locked in an apartment with three loud babies. Get out while the numbers are good, I say! Enjoy that pretend sunshine!

“Can You Water the Plant Mommy Bcuz My Hands Are Too Cheezy”

Two things I want to say here: First, I really fretted over the word “Bcuz”, mostly for reasons of Kina-nunciation accuracy—she would actually write it “P-cuz”, which is hilarious when you hear it in person. Second, I am extremely proud of my cheeto-finger drawing. The plant, by the way, is fine.
