As we’re still in the Covid-19 pandemic, masks are ubiquitous. There are lots of different kinds – cloth, surgical, level 1, 2, and 3 surgical masks, N95 masks and KN95 masks.
As folks were hurrying out the door today, Emma said (in her as always non-plussed way), “I can’t find my KFC mask.”
It was an obvious slip of the tongue for KN95 because she hasn’t been out of the house much and hasn’t needed a mask much. She vaguely heard a polysyllabic word that started with the letter “K” and conflated it with another commonly used one. We laughed and I love the way she is laughs when she realizes she has conflated something. She has such a charming and likable personality. Her laugh is infectious.
