Hey everyone, it's Mary.

And before we start the show, I just want to acknowledge

things are so weird right now.

I'm recording this in a closet,

and I'm going to send the audio to a producer

who is in Georgia.

Evernett Slade is working from home right now.

We're trying to minimize the spread of this coronavirus.

If the show sounds a little different

in the next couple of weeks, that is why.

But I've got a feeling that some of you,

probably a lot of you, are finding ways

to meet this moment.

You're looking out for each other in funny ways.

You're finding little incentives to get your kids

to do the right thing, like wash their hands.

One parent I saw decided to start each day

by drawing little hearts on each family members' hand

in Sharpie.

Whoever scrubbed the Sharpie off by Dayzen got a prize.

So I'm hoping you can help me out.

Let me know about what you're up to.
