New Routine

As if Madeleine's good-bye/good-night routine couldn't get any more ridiculous, there is now a new element to the whole ritual that she has added, even typing it in text messages.

To back up a moment, here is her FORMER routine, when saying good-night to us, or saying good-bye as we are leaving or she's being dropped off somewhere.

MADELEINE: I love you! (blowing an air kiss) So muchy moo! (blowing air kiss). (Blowing a kiss from one palm towards us.) (Blowing a kiss from the other palm towards us.) (Waving at us with both hands while smiling at us.) (Leaving.)

So now it's this:

MADELEINE: I love you! (blowing an air kiss) So muchy moo! (blowing air kiss). (Blowing a kiss from one palm towards us.) (Blowing a kiss from the other palm towards us.) (Waving at us with both hands while smiling at us.)  SAFETY!! (Leaving.)

The addition of "SAFETY!" seems to correlate with the fact that COVID numbers have been on the rise in our area.  Apparently cheerfully announcing "SAFETY!" at us will keep us safe, despite the fact that if Madeleine actually had COVID, blowing air from her mouth towards us would probably infect us as well.
