Around the globe, families have been forced to stay home due COVID-19 pandemic. But just because there is a change to the daily routine, that is not going to disrupt this mom’s pantry rules — especially when grocery stores are seeming to run out of items as quickly as they are stocked.
A photo posted to a mom’s group on Facebook shows a snarky way one parent has combated her children’s attempts to snack during self-isolation, or, as she puts it, “Coronavirusgedden.”
“NEW pantry rules for Coronavirusgedden,” starts the note, which appears to be taped on a shelf in the pantry.
“1. Nobody goes in the pantry without ASKING first. No willy nilly pantry visits allowed!
2. Do not open a new box of cereal until the old, opened boxes are eaten and gone.
3. You better have eaten a piece of fruit, a vegetable or a yogurt before you reach for anything in here,” the note continues, before getting to the final — and most extreme of the rules.
4. If anyone touches or eats by CADBURY EGGS, you’re going to wish you had Coronavirus and died.”
The post quickly gained attention from parents around the globe, offering up their own suggestions about what’s important to them and their pantry rules.
“And don’t use my flour, sugar and eggs for unnecessary baking,” one wrote.
“Point 4 needs to be in size 100 font for me,” another added.
“Please read point 4. More than once. K thanks,” another commented, with a laugh-cry emoji.
“Might print this out,” another commented on FB.
“Love this,” one simply wrote. While another commented “This is me,” followed by a laugh-cry emoji.
