When Kelly Muller turned up at her mum Annette’s house to check in on her (from outside of course) she thought she might have a shopping list prepared.
But Kelly couldn’t help but laugh when her 82-year-old mum put up a huge sign in the window to let her know she was out of wine.
Her mum was self-isolating alone at her home in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and wanted to let her daughter know the important message without breaking social distancing.
Obviously it’s important not to drink too much during lockdown but with boredom and isolation setting in, lots of people are looking forward to a few glasses of wine, after a long day inside.
Annette was in good spirits and told her daughter she’d just run out of wine, holding up the empty bottle to stress the message.
Posting the picture of her mum on Facebook, the picture soon went viral as lots of others said they know how Mama Muller feels.
Kelly, who is one of six kids, said: ‘Went to my 82 year old Mothers House today to check on her and to see if she needed anything. She was anxiously waiting for me at the window.’
The post had over 253,000 shares and 43,000 likes.
One person replied: ‘I aspire to be her.’
Another added: ‘Love it…can I borrow the sign?’
Kelly asked her mum which type she wanted but she replied: ‘It doesn’t matter to me. They all taste the same!’
Under normal circumstances, the two women meet frequently to chat over a glass of wine.
Like many Canadians, Annette is a fan of ice hockey, whose top league has been shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Kelly said: ‘She is a social butterfly who misses her NHL hockey and her friends and family, who constantly drop in for visits
‘She has a great sense of humour and is enjoying all this attention. In her own words “I’ve gone Viral”.’
Kelly added another post the next day showing a picture of her mum with a bottle.
She laughed: ‘Happy to report Mama Muller got her wine!’
