Once upon a quarantine, there lived 3 Kiwi Daddies who were stuck at home all day long.

You see, they were living through a pandemic and couldn’t leave their bubbles. They couldn’t to go to work or see their friends, they

couldn’t even play rugby! They had to stay at home with their wives and their kids, in their bubbles.

Daddy Kiwi had tried lots of things to keep busy. He tried zen yoga, but really hurt his leg!

He tried to teach his little Kiwi kids the 3 times tables, but that only last

30 seconds before he yelled “the answer is 9! Just write 9!” and stormed

out of the room.

The answer is 9!

He even went shopping for

Mummy Kiwi, but what are chai

seeds? And where’s all the

toilet paper?

Where’s the

toilet paper?

The only thing Daddy Kiwi enjoyed about lockdown was having some quiet time on his own, at the end of the day, in his man shed.

He had built it himself! He built it

during lockdown. He had built it from straw, because

that’s all he had and all the hardware

stores were shut for level 4.

One day when his Kiwi Kids were fighting, again,

Daddy decided to sneak out to his

man shed.

After a few glorious moment, Daddy

Kiwi heard a rumbling noise.

The rumbling was getting louder and

louder. The rumbling was getting closer and

closer.
