[quote=Anonymous]We had a quarantine every summer because it was so very hot growing up in a hot country. We could not even play outside for fear of heat strokes. What did we do? We read a lot of books, listened to radio, painted, wrote, learned, played board games and cards, played music, put up theatre production in our drawing room, sang. If we were lucky enough to get 24/7 electricity and running water, we were ecstatic. No AC, no TV, no internet, limited water, limited electricity, no phone, no landline. We have the conveniences today at our home that the royalties of yesteryear did not. We eat the kinds of foods that the emperors of old did not get to eat. We will survive. You are the parent. You can tell them to read, exercise, learn how to clean and cook. In short, this is an amazing opportunity. You can sit feeling sorry for yourself or you can completely change your life. [/quote]
