There are a lot of things many of us are missing during the coronavirus lockdown, namely, golgappas, movies, gym, weekend getaways, beach or lawn walks, and the list is endless. For many, these little joys of life let us take a break from the fast-paced life and relax for a while. But some of these things are important to keep us sane and relieve pandemic stress.
A woman from Brooklyn, Josie Brechner, tweeted about missing
a few days ago. She wrote she wanted to lay her face in the grass so bad.people with lawns right now really don't know good they have it. I would go out and lie face-down in some grass so hard.

A few days later, she received a gift from her mother and guess what? Her mom sent her a patch of grass in the mail. Josie shared the pictures of the grass box on Twitter which have now gone viral.
I tweeted ONCE about wanting to lie face first in grass during all this and my mom SENT ME A PATCH OF GRASS IN THE MAIL.

Josie thanked her mother for her wonderful gesture and also shared the screenshots of their chat in the Twitter thread:

While some Twitter users called her momβs gesture sweet, others wish they could gift themselves a patch of grass. Have a look:

Okay but how do we order grass???
The box has grass printed on the side, so it must be mail order grass, yes?
