Parents working from home are sharing the exploits of their “co-workers” – the 22 funniest
Everywhere the Covid-19 virus has taken hold, people are being asked to work from home, which means goodbye 10:30 snack trolley, hello answering a million questions about how tall the Marshmallow Man is and who’s the best Star Wars character, because you now share your “office” with the kids.
If you don’t already, you will once the schools close to almost all children on Friday afternoon.
Writer Shannon Dingle has been on the parenting-working-from-home merry-go-round, and she decided to have a bit of fun with it.
Tell us about a young child but say “my co-worker” or “my friend’s co-worker” instead of their name. (Because, you know, this is reality now for some of us.)
Ex: My co-worker asked for yogurt and is now crying because I gave her yogurt.

I attempted to bribe my co-workers with Twix bars to stay quite while I was on my first conference call of the day. Both co-workers accepted said bars and proceeded to scream at each other during my entire conference call.
