Did you catch the BBC's "favorite live TV moment of the week by far"? Political science professor Robert E. Kelly was fielding questions on South Korea via Skype when his daughter bounces into the frame, closely followed by a baby on wheels. 

A horrified mother scurries in a split-second behind to scoop up the children and make a quick exit. Kelly apologizes and picks up right where he left off despite an obviously amused interviewer. 

It turns out this week's viral sensation got his undergraduate education right here in the Tri-State at Miami University (B.A. in history and political science in 1994) and his Ph.D. at The Ohio State University (2005). The 40-second video has racked up more than 82 million views on Facebook in just three days.
