Damn You, Disney, Everything that Happened in 2020 Was Foretold in Frozen 2, But We Didn’t Listen
On December 7, 2019, we took our three children to Frozen 2, sixteen days after it opened. It was not quite a year ago, but it feels like a decade ago. Pandemic-life has changed everything we thought we knew about how humans experience time.
Back then, waiting sixteen days seemed impossible, but we agreed to go as a group, and 12/7/19, was the first date that worked for everyone. We were so busy then — remember that? Remember theatres or group activities?
How much has changed in a year? How much have parents aged this year? Ahhhh, don’t answer that. How much more tech-savvy and less innocent are our children? At some point, we are going to have to answer for that.

Three hundred fifty-one days ago, we watched Frozen 2 at the theatre. In this family, that’s nine months of quarantine, seven months of virtual school, way too much screen time, six birthdays, one election, and one pandemic ago.
