So today I didn’t realize I was off mute and told the Democratic Caucus (including a couple recent presidential candidates) that “...mommy is working honey, please go potty and wash your hands then mommy will come downstairs.” How’s your working from home going?

How many embarrassing moments have I had when I thought I was on mute...but wasn't. Ooops!

That was cute though.

he was eating from a bowl of peanuts

he yelled STOP LICKING MY PEANUTS when his cat hopped on the coffee table and got into the peanuts

of course, that's not quite how the conference call heard it

there was silence, then someone said......did I hear what I think I heard? and then a lot of cross-talk...….Tom just kept quiet and muted it, there were people on the call from all over and he did not wish to pursue draw further attention to himself
