THE FOUR SONS

In telling the Passover story, we are told to tailor our message and are asked to consider four types of listeners:

The wise child asks, “How can I help flatten the curve?” To him we say, listen to the scientists, stay at home, and wash your hands.

The wicked child asks, “Can’t grandma take one for the team? I’m too young to worry about Kung Flu. It’s a Chinese plot! Or a hoax! MAGA!” To him we say go lick a doorknob, dipshit.

The simple child asks, “Are we going to be OK?” And to him we say yes, son – we’re all in this together.

And to the child who does not even know how to ask, we say please sit down, Mr. President, and let us hear from Dr. Fauci.
