Kids are at home. Adults are, too. We're all bored. What could go wrong? Photo: Getty

We’ve all got a lot of more time on our hands now we’re staying at home.

And you know the saying about what happens to idle hands …

So if your little ones aren’t quite being the cherubs you’re sure they were pre-virus crisis, well, just take comfort in knowing you’re not alone.

Then take a photo.

We want to see what’s happening out there.

Share the story – and help other readers share a laugh.

  • Send a photo or video (and contact details so a reporter can follow up) showing the mischief of the little (or big) people in your home. Email: editorial@thenewdaily.com.au
