Kids do the darndest things. Even when dad is talking about the impeachment of South Korea's president.

Two little trouble makers stole the show while their father was live on BBC on Friday.
While Robert E Kelly, a professor based at a South Korean university, was live on BBC World News talking about the major development that South Korean president Park Geun-hye had been impeached, his children became a point of distraction when they barged into his office at home.
The BBC presenter alerted Kelly to the invasion, but the interviewee soldiered on and attempted to keep speaking as he gently tried to push his little girl away from the camera. A few seconds later, with perfect comedic timing, his baby wheeled him or herself into the room on a walker.
If that wasn't embarrassing enough, a panicked woman ran into the room, crouched on the floor, to take the children away. She then dragged herself towards the door to quickly shut it.
Amidst this short comedy, Kelly attempted to talk about the North Korea's possible reaction to the end of Park Geun-hye’s term.
Watch it to believe it:
But really after a show like that, it's hard to get back into serious mode. And Presenter James Menendez agrees, tweeting:
Hard to keep a straight face. Video please soon! https://t.co/n5ixiTgEsL

Yes, it was the desperate reach for the door at the end that nearly did it for me... https://t.co/suxe3KPs3i

Having watched it back, all credit to @Robert_E_Kelly for keeping it going. Come back to @bbcworld soon, with or without your lovely family!
