A little thread about a LUCKY couple and their young child in the age of lockdown:
“I think we should drive to my parents in Durham with little Alex?”
“Really? We’ve both got symptoms. We’ll need to stop on the way”
“Hmm. Oh guess what? It’s a full tank!”
“That was lucky”.

“Hmm. Oh guess what? It’s a full tank!”
“That was lucky”.
“We’re here. And we didn’t have to stop at any point”.
“And neither us or little Alex ever had to use the toilet at all! For 4 hours! Amazing!”
“I know! That was lucky!”.

“I know! That was lucky!”.
“Wow. We came all the way in apparent breach of lockdown rules because of the desperate need for childcare. But in the end we didn’t even need it!”
“I know. So lucky!”.
“I know. So lucky!”.
“It’s so lovely to be able to walk in the woods here instead of being locked down in London.”
“Yes. But remember it’s a COINCIDENCE. It just happens to be where our backup childcare (that we didn’t actually need) is as well. That’s why”
“Yes, of course, coincidence. Very lucky”

“I’m not sure my eyesight’s ok to drive back to London. What do we do?”
“Hmm. There’s a castle nearby. It’s perfect distance for a short test drive. What do you think?”
“OMG that’s lucky! It’s perfect.”
“And also....”

“OMG that’s lucky! It’s perfect.”
“And also....”
“...by coincidence on the day we want to do the test drive not only can we go to a beautiful picturesque castle but by coincidence it’ll be a lovely family trip because it also happens to be my BIRTHDAY!”
“Yay! It all fits together perfectly! Who would believe it?! So lucky!!”
“Yay! It all fits together perfectly! Who would believe it?! So lucky!!”
“Ok. So luckily it turns out my eyesight’s fine. So we can drive home.”
“Let’s do it tomorrow...What’s that little Alex? You need to go to the toilet? Are you sure? Remember when we drove 4 hrs and you didn’t need to?”
“Hold on. I’ve luckily spotted a good place for him to go”

“Hold on. I’ve luckily spotted a good place for him to go”
“I know you pulled over for no other reason than for Alex to use the toilet but luckily it also happens to be somewhere he can play. Can we do that?”
“Yes because luckily our original reason was for him to go to the toilet so I think it’s ok for him to play”
“We are lucky!”
“Yes because luckily our original reason was for him to go to the toilet so I think it’s ok for him to play”
“We are lucky!”
“Ok. Finally, it’s time to go back to London.”
“Hmm. Do you think it’ll be awkward if your boss asks you where we’ve been? Do you think we might have to explain it to someone? It could sound a bit...implausible?”
“Somehow I doubt he will. No one will know.”
“That’d be lucky”.
