So the BBC Dad -- who, wouldntyaknow, actually has a real name, Robert Kelly, and a real job, Professor of Political Science -- spoke up.
This has been re-tweeted 1200 times, so I guess I should say this was only bc I am traveling and had to use a laptop. Once I’m home, it will be the same set-up as always. https://t.co/6bjc1wFT5O

Unfortunately, Kelly didn't respond to every Twitter user's individual demands. BBC Dad, we demand more.
and the door will be unlocked to let your kids in...right? 😊

The best thing was when you described your daughter as being a bit ‘hippity hoppety’. We could all benefit from being a bit hippity hoppety sometimes. Hope you’re having a great day.

If there are any bold kids on a CNN set out there willing to interrupt a broadcast, please step up to the mic. It's 2018. We need a viral fix baaaaad.
