Day 262: A Little Bit of Good

Today we had a parent-teacher conference with Livia’s teacher by phone. I would have preferred to have the conference in the usual way, which is for me to drive to the school and meet the teacher in person. But, the bright side of teleconferencing was that both my husband and I were able to take part. He had never been to a parent-teacher conference before, because on those nights when I used to go, he used to stay home with the kids, because someone had to. So, as with many things that the pandemic has changed, there was a little bit of good to be had along with the bad.
