I caught my 5 year old making faces in the background the other day. Who knows how long she'd been doing it before I noticed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912642 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 22:03:24 +0000 ALV91711 2912642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two have been pretty good about letting me work but every time I have a zoom meeting they are crawling into my lap and beside me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912641 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 21:23:18 +0000 Ms. RV 2912641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this isn't parenting related, but hair cutting places are closed and DH badly needed a hair cut. I did an awesome job until I noticed a couple of longer hairs along his bangs. So I went to trim them but forgot I had the .5mm on to do his neckline. Needless to say, I had to buzz everything down to a .5 :shocked: It will grow back in three weeks it will be good :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912590 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 18:37:17 +0000 PinkElephant 2912590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caitcat: this is amazing! I would be so excited for her to answer my call!</p> <p>@Anagram: Haha DH made me come say hi at his virtual happy hour after I just came back from a run. Also DD3 was hanging out with him during it not wearing pants. Oops!</p> <p>@winter_wonder: My kids’ art teacher has been doing zoom and her cat loves to come get involved! :meh: </p> <p>@wrkbrk: Love it! It would be fantastic if he capitalized on this rule! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912584 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 16:04:52 +0000 wrkbrk 2912584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on a conference call on speaker phone. Someone on the call said, “now why in the hell would they do that” about something. And DS, from the other room, screams, hell is a bad word!! You owe me a quarter!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912579 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 13:10:54 +0000 winter_wonder 2912579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Hilarious😂😂😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912578 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 13:08:17 +0000 winter_wonder 2912578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dahlia: Same! Lol! Rather than redoing it, I'm like "students, meet my cat! He wanted to make an appearance" 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912565 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 09:01:04 +0000 Dahlia 2912565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are great! My kid hasn't caused any issues yet, but my cats have starred in numerous video lectures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912564 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:53:22 +0000 caitcat 2912564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are great! </p> <p>My husband gave his coworkers our home number as his primary phone contact. We’d been working with our five year old on how to answer the phone over the last couple weeks before all this started...so one of his coworkers called yesterday and C answered the phone before we could catch it. She promptly forgot everything we’d coached her to say if she picks up the phone and instead said, “Hi! I’m C and you won a prize! You get to hear my songs!” and proceeded to sing something from Tangled, while I wrestled the phone away from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912563 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:50:45 +0000 Anagram 2912563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a 2 bedroom condo with two kids and both parents working at home. My husband was on a work call (as he is basically all day) and I went to the bedroom and started changing my pants. My pants were totally off when I had a sudden panic like “what if it’s not a call, it’s a video chat and everyone can see me, with no pants, behind my husband??!l” and I dropped down to the floor behind our bed. Only then did I peek out and confirm that it was indeed just a conference call and not a video chat, phew. But I’m not used to this whole situation yet, that’s for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912562 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:40:59 +0000 BadgerMom 2912562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG this thread made me laugh. Thank you. </p> <p>So far...<br /> DS (5) let out a giant sigh and told me he was EXHAUSTED on day 1.5.<br /> DD (13m) put the entire roll of toilet paper IN the toilet (which I think might be a capital offense right now).<br /> DD ate half the dogs food before I realized where she was.<br /> Luckily I haven’t had to do too much active work this week, but during my one conference call, pretty much the entirety of the duplo bin was shoved one by one under the door.<br /> Oh and I gave in to the power of Elmo last night and set DD up in her highchair in front of the tv so I could do the dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912555 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 00:24:14 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2912555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: this is me as well.. the first or second day DH was home he wandered out of the room saying... “you know honey, it’s ok if the kids are loud.. but we can hear you too.. it’s ok if you’re yelling but.. you just sound so angry..” I was like, ok TELL ME when you’re on a call next time! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912542 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 19:25:12 +0000 periwinklebee 2912542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby inevitably has remarkably loud poops and farts when I’m on a conference call. It really sounds like I’m conducting the meeting from the toilet.</p> <p>And since I’m often feeding her and don’t want to inadvertently flash someone if my toddler grabs the screen and reorients it, I say bandwidth problems prevent me from using video. So yeah, everyone definitely thinks I’m joining in from the toilet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912531 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 17:58:10 +0000 PinkElephant 2912531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: OMG! Two of mine decided to see if they could clap butt cheeks not too long ago...thankfully we didn't have anyone else in the house at the time, hahaha. I'm glad I don't have the only weirdos! :) :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912530 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 17:22:42 +0000 karenbme 2912530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (4 months) babbles at a VERY high volume most of the time, and she was so loud on her play mat that DH missed his boss asking him a question multiple times so everyone on the call thought he had dropped off. 🤦🏻‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912523 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:56:08 +0000 crazydoglady 2912523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son (4.5)is convinced that Mo Willems is talking directly to him on Lunch Doodles, responds, and asks questions. 🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912515 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 14:14:09 +0000 Chuckles 2912515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was posting a video on Seesaw for my students and said something about remembering to wash your hands. And DS piped up from off camera, "and don't pick your nose!"<br /> Also, I was in a Zoom meeting with other staff members and a parent while also keeping an eye on my 4 month old and 6 year old. 4 month old DD pooped approximately 5 minutes into an hour long meeting, so I changed her on the floor off camera while participating in the discussion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912514 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 14:10:22 +0000 Chuckles 2912514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: that is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912513 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 14:07:36 +0000 KT326 2912513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old was in my bedroom where DH was watching the show Impractical Jokers... he comes out to me and proceeds to tell me to suck it (hand motions and everything). I was not impressed but DH couldn't stop cracking up. He didn't think LO was paying attention to the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912512 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:57:56 +0000 Mama Bird 2912512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two days ago, DH had to unclog the toilet, and he decided to teach the 15 month old to use the plunger. He's sorry now - she hovers at the bathroom door, and if anyone forgets to close it, she sneaks in and starts plunger-ing away. </p> <p>Someone keeps making my slippers disappear. I find them days later in different rooms. Great. </p> <p>The kids have unpacked a mini drone and have been racing it indoors. The four year old didn't catch the name right away, and for several days confused me by asking if I've seen her throne... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912511 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:49:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2912511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had somebody come over to look at our stove, so I social-distanced the kids upstairs, where they took their pants off and bumped their bums together yelling “BUTT PARTY! BUTTY BUTT BUTT PARTY!” The noise carried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912509 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:31:47 +0000 foodiebee 2912509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9mo got ahold of my laptop and started sending random messages to my coworkers at lightning speed yesterday. I was franticly fighting him for it, so in between all of his random messages are mine: SORRY. BABYNAME. SO SORRY. My coworkers were cracking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912506 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:24:04 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2912506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E (2.5) asked me to kiss the booboo on her cup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912502 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:57:32 +0000 PinkElephant 2912502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charleysmom: My three year old constantly whines that she’s hungry :shocked: she also really likes knock knock jokes; maybe this would occupy her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912501 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:52:49 +0000 bees_knees 2912501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charleysmom: I just snorted 😂😂😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912497 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:43:26 +0000 charleysmom 2912497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 year old told the following joke this morning which basically sums up our week:</p> <p>DD: Knock knock.</p> <p>Who’s there?</p> <p>DD: Still</p> <p>Still who? </p> <p>DD: Still hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912496 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:39:15 +0000 Ms. RV 2912496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great thread idea!</p> <p>DH was on a conference call after I was done working. He told me that he didn't have the loudest kids in the background but he did have the loudest wife yelling at the kids. Apparently "If you poke your brother one more time" came across very clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hilarious-home-happenings-tales-from-isolation#post-2912487 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 11:53:30 +0000 PinkElephant 2912487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to find the humor in our crazy situation...I'm sure the coming weeks/months are going to have a lot of silly things that happen in our house that would usually remain private become very very public thanks to WFH, remote schooling via Zoom, etc. What outrageous things have happened in your house? Today in ours: </p> <p>-- Five year old Kindergartener's letter/diagraph of the day was "SH". What do you think the VERY FIRST word she wrote on her "house of SH" worksheet was? Yup, "SH*T". Love it. And she wrote it in crayon, so no erasing, and YES, we have to turn it in. Good thing her teacher is a mom of similarly aged kids and will probably find it humorous!</p> <p>-- Five year old also could be heard yelling "Can someone PLEASE help me get my BRA OFF?!" on a conference call (she had been wearing a dance bra under her tank top for a dance class she did on Zoom).</p> <p>-- Three year old video-bombed a Zoom conference with my 7 year old's guidance counselor having just covered her face with stamp markers. </p>
