In a recent Instagram post, actress Lucy Bennett captured the essence of life during quarantine in a delightful montage that resonates with many of us. While the experiences of quarantine vary widely—especially for those on the frontlines working tirelessly to keep society functioning—certain themes have emerged: laundry piling up, face masks, pets expressing their frustration at our constant presence, the comforting presence of wine, and the creeping boredom that seems to linger.
Bennett’s video, set to the catchy tune “Think About Things,” showcases moments that many parents can relate to. In her caption, she quipped, “Not sure why I thought you needed this,” and while we may not have asked for it, we are certainly grateful for the laughter it brings.
Her scenes include an endless cycle of laundry that seems to multiply despite our lack of outings, a wide array of face masks, all-day loungewear, and an increasingly annoyed cat who’s had enough of our company. And of course, there’s the ever-present wine—a significant checkmark on the quarantine checklist.
For parents stuck at home with their children and partners, this video is pure gold. Lucy’s expressions mirror our own, her wine symbolizes our shared coping mechanisms, and her overflowing laundry baskets are the anthem of our current reality.
Up until now, Bennett has focused on uplifting others during this challenging time, participating in initiatives like the #SaveWithStories campaign aimed at supporting children affected by school closures due to the pandemic. She has also shared heartfelt moments, including a video call with a young patient at a children’s hospital. Despite her philanthropic efforts, taking a moment to share her humorous take on quarantine life only adds to her charm.
