Man's Zoom Call Antics Bring Laughter to His Wife's Work ¶
As the world continues to navigate the challenges of the pandemic, one couple has found a unique way to bring some much-needed laughter to their daily lives.
Cara Fields and her husband Matt from Indiana have been adapting to their new work-life balance, home-schooling their children and staying on top of their 9 to 5 jobs.
But, in order to give Cara and her colleagues a much-needed laugh, Matt started appearing in her Zoom conference calls dressed up in silly costumes.
According to Cara, Matt has always loved embarrassing her in public, so this was the obvious next step.
She explained that when she converted their dining room into an office, Matt saw a virtual opportunity to embarrass her during the pandemic.
At first, Matt started accessorising with items from his wardrobe, but it wasn't long before things started to escalate.
He dressed up in his hunting gear one day and a cowboy hat the next, and their friends started sending him extravagant Halloween outfits in the post to keep up appearances.
One day he wore a Batman outfit and the next he was Where's Wally, and Cara started posting pictures of his outfits on LinkedIn, which everyone thought was hilarious.
Her colleagues loved the idea, and it has definitely helped people remember to stop and laugh during these times.
And it doesn't seem like he'll be stopping any time soon, since Cara revealed that there are more outfits in the post.
