Why I should not telecommute

This morning I had a meeting at work, but rather than drive in for the meeting, I just phoned in. I figured it would be ok, the meeting was only 45 minutes, and there's 4 kids to look after Troy. So, off I went, in to my bedroom, did my part, and then listed to the rest. But, after about 20 minutes, I noticed that it seemed really quiet. I could hear the big boys playing Wii, but couldn't hear Troy anywhere. Luckily, I bought a phone with a mute button for just these kinds of times. So, while listening to the meeting, I went to look for Troy.

I found him, in the bathroom, brushing his teeth with Luke's toothbrush, which he was DIPPING IN THE TOILET!!! Needless to say, I checked my mute button again, and let the kids know what I thought about their babysitting.
