Earlier this month, my second daughter approached me. She was crying as she recounted how her younger sister bit her arm. Less than a minute later, the younger one came running to me, as well. Since she is not yet able to talk well, I can only guess she was also complaining about her older sister and probably explaining why she bit her older sister. This was happening while I was trying to listen to the meeting I was attending from home.

In the last five months under quarantine, most of us working from home have probably experienced being interrupted by kids asking for help with opening a bottle of peanut butter, mothers asking us if we bought everything on their grocery list, or a delivery person calling for us to get the items we purchased from Shopee.
