LONDON -- Normally, a day at home with a small baby might involve a bit of feeding and nappy changing, possibly with a trip to a local park thrown in for good measure.

Not if you're Matt Coyne, though. After he was left in charge of the baby for the day, Coyne decided to add another activity to the list: trolling.

"Tough week," Coyne wrote on Facebook. "Charlie's mum's maternity leave ended. So the person in our house who prevents fires etc. returned to work... Whilst I found myself looking after our little boy properly on my own.

"...Anyway, to alleviate Lyns' concerns about leaving Charlie in the care of a f*ckwit, I promised to keep in touch..."

To be fair, Coyne was good to his word.

Coyne didn't share how the conversation ended, but we're guessing the threat of a testicle punch probably persuaded him to share a real update.

A+ trolling.
