Remember how much fun we all had with BBC dad? Well, here is MSNBC mom.

NBC News correspondent Courtney Kube was on MSNBC Wednesday morning to report on Turkish airstrikes in Syria. While she was talking, her four-year-old son popped into the frame. (You can see his actual entry in a different version of the clip. It's a real zoom.)

He had to say hi to his mom. Pressing business. Understandable.

"Excuse me, my kids are here!" Kube said. "Live television." She never lost composure, though, and regained her train of thought with ease.

We may never know what her son needed to ask, but we're sure it was very important. He should feel free to come back again: We love a surprise on-air guest.
