NO KISSING-NIENTE BACI

I’ve been avoiding the statistics and news about the COVID-19. It’s too depressing. I doodled instead and came up with these two sketches. Although they are still related to the virus, I thought – what the heck let’s joke about it.

Sto evitando di ascoltare le notizie sul COVID-19. È troppo deprimente. Quindi ho fatto due scarabocchi. Anche se si riferiscono al virus ho comunque pensato – perché non scherzare un pò.

Here are my silly thoughts on some of the advantages for wearing a face mask.

Eccovi alcuni sciocchi pensieri dei vantaggi di portare la maschera (mascherina?)

  • YOU don’t have to wash your teeth, or worry about having spinach stuck in between your front tooth while talking with your boss.
  • Non c’è più bisogno di lavarsi i denti o di preoccuparsi di avere qualcosa tra i denti mentre parli con il tuo capo.
  • YOU don’t have to worry about forgetting to pluck out a few whiskers you missed because you weren’t wearing your glasses. No one will see them if you always wear your face mask, right?
  • NON devi più preoccuparti di aver dimenticato di strappare qualche baffetto che non avevi visto perché non portavi i tuoi occhiali. Nessuno se ne accorgerà visto che porti la maschera, giusto?
  • No problem with bad breath, you’re the only one that will faint.
  • Nessun problema di alito cattivo, sarai l’unico a svenire.
  • YOU can stick your tongue out and make faces, and no one will notice.  
  • Potrai fare le linguacce e nessuno se ne accorgerà.

So, try to look on the bright side of things during these hard times.

Quindi, cercate di vedere i lati positivi in questi momenti difficili e fatevi coraggio. Preoccuparsi troppo non serve a nulla.

You are my sunshine,my only sunshine.

You make me happy when times are gray.

You’ll never know dear how much I love you.

But please don’t take my face mask away.

That’s it for today, take care and try to have fun.

È tutto per oggi, statemi bene e divertitevi con la famiglia. Nota: L’Italiano non è la mia lingua madre, scusate Bacciami– baciami

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
