Ever since several countries were put under lockdown and people were instructed to socially distance themselves from public places like temples, pubs and even offices, many people have been given the option to work from home. However, it’s not that easy as one might think. There are many distractions especially when you have cuddly pets and kids around that hinder our alone time and also side-track us from working efficiently.
This father was also done with all the ‘dad, do this’, ‘dad, do that’, hence, he came up with a clever way to excuse himself from all the distractions at home, reported CNN. In a video that was shared by a Twitter user earlier this week, a father was seen skilfully camouflaging himself in the couch using a painted placard.
Minutes before his daughter comes inside the room looking for him, the smart daddy pulls the placard and hides behind it.

The placard is flawlessly painted to match the couch, helping him to completely be out of sight in a jiffy. And guess what, his daughter wasn’t able to spot him even though he was there, right in front of her.
Well, people online were blown away by this dad’s creativity:

It's not that simple:
my children smell me.🤦♂️— Roeftan Jalon (@RoeftanJalon) March 16, 2020
Parents often have to compromise on their peace and ‘me’ time because they often juggle between work, paying bills, doing laundry, preparing meals, feeding their kids and also handling their tantrums. This dad’s idea is just brilliant and I am sure many parents can relate to this video while being quarantined at home during COVID-19 with their kids. What do you think of this? Tell us.
