Strange indirect Coronavirus realization this week.. my child thinks the mailman is like Santa. He thinks the mailman just brings him presents everyday. I was talking with my friend who as a child the same age as my son (3 years old) and she was saying that her daughter said she was going to ask the mailman for a present. I guess this is normal for a young child to make sense of. But, I realized today just how much we have become reliant on ordering things from Amazon that we would have normally just gone out and purchased at a store. We have almost daily deliveries now of random things we need, where as before I would have just run out to Target. And, so now, my child thinks our mailman is Santa.
