One day, while still fairly new to wearing my carbon filter masks in public, I went to a doctor's appointment. As I sat with my husband in the waiting room a small child entered with their mother. Quietly while they sat the child asked her mum "mummy, why is that lady wearing a mask?". Her mother answered "it's because she is very sick".
Shortly after this event another small child entered with his father & as they sat in the waiting room the same question appeared on his lips. "Daddy, why is that lady wearing a mask?". "Because she doesn't want to spread germs" was "Daddy's" answer. Under my breath, so I thought and unpremeditated to my husband: "It's because I'm tooooo ugly".
Father of second small child cracked up laughing. I could have sworn I said it ever so softly.

People get it wrong so often. They think we want to protect them from ourselves. Bless them...............
