(Grandma Mel looks nervous and confused)

"Darlen"-¿Mom?

Grandma Mel-I don't know

"Darlen"-mom, ¿¡what's going on!?

Grandma Mel-no no I don't know, ¡I don't know!

"Darrell"-¿What's up?

"Margoret"-Mom I'm getting scared

"Darlen"-calm down, children, stay with me, now what, ¿mom?

*1 Minute later..*

Grandma Mel-For now we are going to, we are going to buy food, a lot of food, everything is ending very quickly

(Grandma begins to move with the shopping cart towards the canning area)

Grandma Mel-if this is the situation here, I don't want to imagine how it will be in other supermarkets.

(The Sendero family enters the canned aisle)

Grandma Mel-kids I want you to help me put 3 cans of each thing in the cart

(Somewhat nervous children obey their grandmother)

"Darlen"-¿canned food?, ¿why so much mom?

(Grandma Mel begins to move down the canned food aisle while she puts cans of food into the grocery cart, the children help too)

Grandma Mel-let's buy enough canned food to last a while

(Darlen looks confused)

"Darlen"-but, ¿for what?, ¿what did Raquel mean by illness and virus?

Grandma Mel-daughter, I don't want the children to be scared, for now...Let's go buy this, we'll talk at home.

"Darlen"-okay

(The children fill the grocery cart halfway with canned food)

Grandma Mel-let's go to the next hallway

(Grandma advances with the cart and turns around to enter the next aisle, Darlen covers the children Darrell and Margoret in her arms while she advances behind them)

*Security personnel in the meat, vegetable and parking aisles are required to report immediately*

"Margoret"-Mom, ¿what's going on?

"Darlen"-nothing daughter, it's just that people here eh...

Grandma Mel-children, I need you to put the things I am going to tell you in the cart.

(The Sendero family enters through the hygiene aisle, the children walk to the front of the grocery cart)

Grandma Mel-Well, I want you to add 2 boxes of face masks, 3 liquid hand soaps, 1 full box of antibacterial gel bottles, 3 bottles of sanitizer, 5 bar hand soaps.

(The confused children look for the items on the shelves)

"Darrell"-soaps, ¿is this okay grandma?

(Darrell puts 5 soaps for facial blemishes in the cart)

Grandma Mel-no Darrell, these are another type of soap.

"Margoret"-¡I found soaps!

(Margoret walks a little quickly to the grocery cart and makes 5 bar hand soaps)

Grandma Mel-yes that's fine, but return these Darrell soaps

(Grandma Mel takes out Darrell's 5 soaps and returns them to him)

"Darlen"-¿is this liquid soap?

(Darlen shows her mother a liquid soap with a "Flowers" brand dispenser that smells like tulips)

Grandma Mel-yes, ¿can you have 2 please?

(Darlen takes 2 more liquid soaps of the same type from the shelf and puts them into the grocery cart)

"Darrell"-¿what else?

"Darlen"-¿did you say hand sanitizer?

Grandma Mel-yes daughter, we need 2 boxes of face masks, 3 bottles of sanitizer, 1 box of bottles of antibacterial gel.

(The children search the hallway again for the missing items)

"Darlen"-don't leave the hallway kids...Mom, ¿what's all this for?

Grandma Mel-we're going to need it

"Darlen"-¿why do we need sanitizer?

Grandma Mel-daughter, there are diseases that are not contagious, but there are others that are, it is better to be prepared and always keep clean, hygiene is very important, and I have always bought all this for years now.

"Darlen"-yes I know, I know there's always a bottle of that in the bathroom and that hand gel, ¿but why?

Grandma Mel-custom only

"Darrell"-grandma, ¿what are muoth covers?

Grandma Mel-haha, they are not Darrell muoth covers, they are mouth covers and it is something that you put on your face like a scarf or a mask.

"Darrell"-ah

"Margoret"-grandma, ¿are these the masks?

(Grandma Mel walks pushing the grocery cart until she reaches Margoret, Darrell and Darlen follow her step)

Grandma Mel-¿can I see?

(Margoret gives her grandmother a white and light blue box)

Grandma Mel-yes these are, ¿how did you know Margoret?

(Grandma Mel puts the box of masks into the cart)

"Margoret"-here it says mouth cover

(Margoret points her finger at a small advertisement made of colored paper where she says "2x1 mouth cover")

Grandma Mel-ah, well, take another box of the same please

(Margoret takes another box of face masks and gives it to Grandma Mel, then Grandma puts it in the cart)

Grandma Mel-look there is the sanitizer Darlen, take 3 big bottles

(Grandma points her finger at a shelf where there are bottles of "Cleanium" brand sanitizer, Darlen takes 3 large bottles)

"Darlen"-¿these?

Grandma Mel-yes

(Darlen puts the 3 bottles of sanitizer into the cart)
