Agree, it is terrifying to see and I think it is child abuse too, but good for you for pressing. I don't interact with that many kids but next time I do--and I'm in CA so you know there are still plenty of masked ones--I'll try to remember your inspiration. For a while I had an essential worker job outdoors and would get all goofy with them, like, why're you wearing a mask outside??? That's nutty! We have such great fresh air! Some kids agreed, some just hung onto the parent!
That's a cute way of doing it. I usually ask them how I can see their cute smile when they are hiding it behind that yucky mask and ask them if they have lost a tooth or if they are growing a mustache". I am a grannie age so it goes down easier.
