New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern interrupted her daughter during a Facebook Live

“It’s time to go to bed.” As she announced to her mother an easing of restrictions aimed at combating Covid-19, her granddaughter, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, boycotted Monday, November 10.

The Prime Minister was live on Facebook, when he heard an unexpected voice: “Mom?”. In a ritual familiar around the world, the chief’s three-year-old daughter Neff decided that everything, even state affairs, could wait. “You’re supposed to be in bed, honey,” the 41-year-old CEO said, interrupting the topic of her Facebook Live.

The young girl answered “No” unchecked, and entered into protracted and fruitless negotiations with Mrs. Ardern. “It’s bedtime, my dear, go back to bed. I’ll come see you in a second. I’ll be back to see you in a minute. Well, – sorry, everyone,” said the prime minister crookedly. a smile.

“I thought it was a good time to go live on Facebook”

“Well, it was a miss, wasn’t it,” she sighed from behind her screen. “I thought now would be a good time to go live on Facebook, that would be nice and safe. Anyone with kids that run three or four times after sleeping? Luckily, my mom is around, so she can help.” “Well, where have we been?” Then I tried to sue Mrs. Ardern.

But the light voice came out again: “Why is it taking so long?” “I’m sorry, honey, it’s been a really long time. Well. I’m sorry, everyone. I’m going back to Neve to sleep. Because it’s been so long since I slept. Thanks for having me.”

While it’s not quite as dramatic as it was when Korea analyst Robert Kelly’s kids interrupted his BBC live interview in 2017, it’s not the first time that Neff has stolen the show. In 2018, Jacinda Ardern became the world’s second prime minister, after Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, to give birth while in office, then took Neve to the United Nations Assembly in New York.
