April Fools Day is a tricky holiday during a pandemic. I couldn’t figure out what to do and didn’t really have any plans — until my mom texted me that they were in Rockford, officially moving Emily out of her dorm.
“Oh wow. Are you gonna be back before dark? Did you hear there’s a curfew now?” I texted back.
The phone immediately rang. My mom was very concerned, and wanted to know all about this new curfew!
I said Pritzker had just announced it, and that the state police would be patrolling the highways (something that actually was happening in Italy) for anyone out after 8 p.m.
And that it takes effect beginning April 1st…. he he he
