"That moment when you're doing a LIVE interview via Zoom and your son walks into the room shouting and holding a deformed carrot shaped like a male body part," Carmel Sepuloni wrote

A New Zealand cabinet minister has become the latest in a long line to experience the pitfalls of working from home since the pandemic began. Carmel Sepuloni, New Zealand's minister for social development, was doing a live Zoom interview with Radio Samoa when she was interrupted by her son excitedly waving a carrot. It turned out that he had found the carrot among the groceries and rushed out to show it to his mother. Ms Sepuloni described it as a "deformed carrot shaped like a male body part." That moment when you're doing a LIVE interview via Zoom & your son walks into the room shouting & holding a deformed carrot shaped like a male body part. ????????????‍♀️ Yes, we were almost wrestling over a carrot on camera, and yes, I'm laughing about it now but wasn't at the time! ???? pic.twitter.com/oUbcpt8tSu Children, what a delight they can be. ???? So funny, that's the highlight of my day, thankyou to you and your son for a good belly laugh. Hilarious. Joys of working from home. Ms Sepuloni, a Labour Party MP, was discussing COVID-19 restrictions with Tavai Meni on Radio Samoa's Breakfast Show when this happened. In a video which has gone viral online, the TV host could be heard laughing as the minister tried to remove the carrot from the shot.  "That moment when you're doing a LIVE interview via Zoom and your son walks into the room shouting and holding a deformed carrot shaped like a male body part," Carmel Sepuloni wrote while sharing the video. "Yes, we were almost wrestling over a carrot on camera, and yes, I'm laughing about it now but wasn't at the time!"
