I'll live I hope.

I miss hearing from you, you're pretty smart.
 
"Quite honestly I do not think my kids understand the apocalypse coming."

Quite honestly, I do not think the lady understands the nature of the term "apocalypse" as in "cosmic cataclysm." I don't think gas masks will help.

On the other hand, a large bucket of hot-buttered popcorn...
 
People can have a false sense of security about gas masks. If there is any kind of smoke or fire involved the masks will not keep out carbon monoxide.
