子連れzoom｜Zoom with My Daughter｜2021/02/19

ミルクデーの初日が終了した。ムスメ優先とはいえ、仕事も進めないといけない。ムスメを膝に抱いてzoomで打合せに参加してみる。適度に揺らしてみたりすると、ムスメも満更ではないようで、静かに打合せをさせてくれる。しかも画面では相手にはわからない。これはいい！と思ったけれど、２つめのzoom会議の終わりかけではぐずり始め、ミルクが必要になった。それならばと３つ目の会議は音声だけにした。音声だけだったら、両手も使えるので問題ないはずだ。始まって５分で大泣きし始める。あやしても揺らしても効果なし。泣き声で会議の内容も聞こえなくなり、結局断念。次回のミルクデーまでに対策を考えなければ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）
The first day of Milk Day is over. Even though I give priority to my daughter, I have to proceed with my work. I held her in my lap and joined the meeting at zoom. I shaked her moderately, she felt good to be quiet, so I could have a meeting as usual. Moreover, the others did not know her on the screen. I thought this may be perfect! But at the end of the second zoom meeting, she started to cry and needed milk. The third meeting was only audio. If it's just voice, I could use both hands, so there should be no problem. Five minutes after it started, she started crying again. There was no effect to be shaken. Finally I couldn't hear the voice of the meeting because of her crying, so I gave up the meeting. I have to rethink about measures by the next Milk Day. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
