Working from home is more difficult than you might think. Working from home when you have kids is even tougher. Trying to conduct a TV interview from your home while your kids are there? Well...

Robert E. Kelly, a political science professor at Pusan National University appeared on BBC News to discuss the impeachment of South Korean president Park Geun-hye and what it could mean for politics throughout Southeast Asia.
The interview barely made it past introductions before everything started to crumble. One of his children doesn’t just walk into the room, she struts into the room. Special props here for not yelling “dad” as soon as she entered, but she’s sauntering up like a silent assassin and lingering right behind dad.
Then baby sees an opening and rolls into the room like it’s nothing. Baby gets some surprising speed here, and that’s impressive. A woman tries as hard as she can to get everything under control, but it’s too late. The interview has been interrupted, you can hear BBC producers laughing and — in her attempt to get the kids out of the office — she knocks some books off the table.
Interrupted important political interview player grades
- Cruising baby: A+, for speed and agility.
- Vince McMahon strutting toddler: A+, for swagger and confidence.
- Mortified woman: A, for recovery and quick defense.
- Smart dad: A, for bounce back and playing through the pain.
- Host: A, for support and coaching.
The BBC asked if it could rebroadcast the interview and the poor dad seemed worried:
Go viral? Yes. Get weird? No. Robert, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. We love you and your children. Don’t feel bad about what happened. Nobody is looking down on you. Just watch out for that baby because that’s a future NASCAR driver in the making.
