In all seriousness, put a foreign language on, and that truly makes it a learning tool.

I actually do this. I only let my kids watch in English (we're Israeli) It really helps with their English!

It's a takeoff on an iconic painting called American Gothic. In the original, the farmer, holding a pitchfork, stands right next to his wife, outside the house.

Maybe someone tech savvy can paste a picture of the original.

Thank you for sharing!
I'm in awe of a family who can sing like that - many of those tunes are super hard to keep on key and they nailed it. The lyrics are fantastic and (mostly) cleaner than the original.

50 Ways to Beat the Virus

Stay away from the pack, Jack
Don't visit your Gran, Stan
Wipe down every toy, Roy
To keep virus-free.
Don't hop on the bus, Gus
Just listen to Don, Ron
Don't hoard the TP, Lee
Just stay virus-free.
Sneeze into your sleeve, Steve
Stop touching your face, Grace
Keep back to six feet, Pete
Heed the CDC
Just use the Purell, Mel
Keep wipes in your purse, Nurse
Take care of your stock, Doc
You need PPE.
This isn't spring break, Jake
Stay home if you're sick, d!ck
As COVID leaps, peeps
Just follow the rules, fools
And stay virus-free

(Note: I didn't make this up)

Guy 1: Oh, come on dude, be positive, this will all blow over pretty soon.

Guy 2: Nobody wants to be positive now, positive is NOT a good thing now.

Ah. I don't know so much about Minions (other than their name). So Two Eyes = Happy, One Eye = Sad? Or I was supposed to read their expressions? (Just trying to get educated here... Day 22? of quarantine....)

The number of eyes had nothing to do with the personality. Each minion has their own personality. Your supposed to try to understand them based on their gestures, actions and tone.

The minion who is the teacher is laughing at the parent minion because he is stuck with his children and now he knows how hard the teacher had it being all day with the kids.
