As the coronavirus continues to shut down schools and offices, parents now find themselves in the (practically) impossible situation of working from home with their children. To help cope with the chaos, some parents are choosing to focus on the funny side of things by sharing stories of their new "coworkers." (Because what else can you do when your two-year-old interrupts your conference call to tell you that they "made a poopy" or when your nine-month-old spits up all over your laptop?)

Taking to social media, parents are posting funny re-imaginings of their kids as work colleagues. Here are some of our favorites.
