For many of us, it was a challenging time at the peak of the coronavirus lockdown.
We were restricted to only going out when absolutely necessary and our social interaction was limited like never before.
Most of us have probably never spent so much time with the people in our households, and most parents have probably never spent so much time with their kids.
With children off school, their routine completely changed. They have had to adapt to home schooling and virtual playdates.
But children know how to brighten up a tough time.
And during the lockdown, they have come out with some hilarious stuff.
We asked M.E.N readers to tell us what the funniest thing your kid has said to you during the lockdown on our Facebook page.
Hundreds of you responded, and some of the answers are hilarious.
Nicola Oatway's five-year-old great niece came up with a brilliant response when she was threatened with being grounded for not tidying up her toys.
"Boris has already done that", she said.
Another little girl got slightly confused between coronavirus and Corona - the Mexican lager.
David Ravenscroft said: "Little girl in B&M was standing by the beers and said to her mum 'is this where you buy coronavirus from?'
"She was looking at Corona beer."
Clare Walshe's seven-year-old daughter was adamant things would change next year.
"When lockdown happens next year, I am doing it differently", she said.
Leanne Hamlett's child had some stark words for her about her cooking skills.
"We're going to starve to death, you can't cook and there's no takeaways open", they said.
Lots of kids were concerned about whether coronavirus would stop Father Christmas from coming this year.
Carol Breakspear commented: "My six-year-old was wondering if father Christmas needed to wear a mask.
"And if it was a different mask for every house or one mask all night."
Aimee Louise's child said: “But mummy, what will happen if Santa gets corona virus!? Will we still get presents at Christmas?"
Denise Quarmby's five-year-old grandson had a brilliant theory about why his mum is a 'key worker'.
"He said his mum was a key worker, because she presses keys on the laptop", Denise said.
Lots of kids had some funny stuff to say about home schooling.
"During home schooling, my nine-year-old told me 'I don't even work this hard in school'", Natalie Jane Martin said.
Katy-Rose Dale said her 10-year-old son told her he wanted to go back to school.
"I thought you hated school?", she said.
His response was: "Its better than being stuck here with your face though."
Kim Kinsey's eight-year-old grandchild sent her a homemade card - the message inside was hilarious.
"Love you, stay safe, hope you don't die", it read.
Claire Bracegirdle's nephew, aged four, said: "I'm sick of this coronavirus, I'm missing my best mate."
And finally, Rachel Louise's daughter Georgia was clearly getting sick of her daily walks.
The eight-year-old said: "Do we have to go for another walk mum?
"I mean, we've already walked to the fridge."
