'SNL' has a creative solution for dealing with restless kids during the pandemic
Watch Next

If you're stuck caring for small, energetic children during a pandemic, Saturday Night Live has an...interesting idea for you.

Most of the show's current cast came together for a remote musical number about childcare during this weekend's season finale. The problem: Kids are too restless to be stuck at home for months on end. The solution: Let them drink!

Alright, maybe don't actually let them drink. It's illegal, unethical, and unhealthy in approximately a million different ways. But, as the SNL cast pointed out, it'll at least put them to sleep.
