Wrong Hands by John Atkinson for October 16, 2020

no need to shave…

How about “Oh NOOOO! I’m going blind!! uhh… my glasses just fogged up. Never mind.”

have definitely become aware of how much lip reading I did before 2020

Missed the most common one: “Yay, no more random creeps telling me to smile!”

“Luuuke … I am your father.”

I like to say to people running the registers at check-out: “I know you’re smiling behind that mask.” Usually gets a laugh.

Numbers 1 and 5 are my biggies. It tickles my nose without fail.

I wasted all that money on lip and nose rings.

Does this mean we’ll become more aware of what the eyes are saying?

Mine is ’don’t cough’. I carry a cough drop with me just in case I get that tickle in my throat.

It’s missing all the comments about it being hot, sliding down your nose, or fogging your glasses.

My nose isn’t cold anymore!

I have always hated backing up. We always back into our driveway. You’d think after 25 years of living in this house I would have gotten better. Nope, I still have issues. Yesterday I had to back into a parking space (I prefer that to trying to back out into traffic). Anyway I had placed my order with the girl at the window & hadn’t removed my mask. I always make faces backing up (according to my family). I realized with the mask no one could see the silly faces-they just saw the idiot who can’t back into a spot!

Sneezing is fine wearing the mask.

Do I have spinach in my teeth?…eh no worries! I can check next time I’m in the loo.

And the lip reading thing. Oh my gosh is my hearing really this bad?
