When I picked the Queen and the Joker up from school yesterday, the Queen was holding a folded blue paper towel in front of her face.
Inadequate anti-viral protection
When I asked her what it was for she told me that it was so that she didn’t catch “the virus”. “But it can kill you Mummy,” she protested as I told her to put the paper towel away.
Her teacher had told the class about swine flu, and that they should make sure they wash their hands after they sneeze or cough.
The Queen also knew that the virus was spreading all over the world. It took most of the walk home for her to be convinced that her rather original method of protection was not going to be effective.
