6-year-old refuses to take off a mouth cap for a school photo: ‘I always listen to my mother’ Abroad

The photographer did not know what he experienced when the boy refused to take off his mask. “My mom told me to keep my mask on all the time unless I’m eating,” said little Mason.

The photographer tried to convince Mason that his mother would probably be okay with him taking off the mask for the photo. But the boy stood his ground: “No, I always listen to my mother.” He eventually took the school photo with a mouth cap.

Grandfather passed away

His mother, Nicole Peoples, shared the photo on Facebook. Her post subsequently went viral. The mother told CNN that her grandfather died in January from corona. That loss made her realize that it is important to wear a face mask. “That experience has ensured that Mason also likes to wear his mask. Not only because it protects him, but also the people around them,” said the mother.
