Director Taika Waititi and his kids are living out our quarantine nightmare in a New Zealand hotel room

Call it good upbringing or strategic parenting. Either way, it took a full seven days of hotel room quarantine for filmmaker Taika Waititi’s two daughters to completely cover their current living quarters with, well, the entire contents of several suitcases. But while the kids’ reaction to their cooped-up situation may have arrived belatedly, it definitely arrived — as documented by the Oscar-winning director’s recent Instagram photo of the *ahem* dire situation.Waititi and his two girls are halfway through their mandatory two-week quarantine after returning to the filmmaker’s home country of New Zealand, where tight restrictions are keeping a lid on a rise in new COVD-19 infections. Being confined to smaller-than-usual quarters isn't easy for anyone, and for a solo parent outnumbered by his progeny, it’s nothing short of chaos. May we present Exhibit A:

Day 7 of 14 day hotel quarantine in NZ. One dad, two kids, everything going great.... until they found the "explode suitcases and trash everything" button. Looks like I got a couple of regular Led Zeppelins on my hands.

That fate: being surrounded by finger paints, crayons, small, mostly pink items of clothing, and half-eaten plates of room service food (we think we’ve spotted some leftover nachos in one corner of the frame).Chaos aside however, Waititi is on the right path in terms of doing his part to combat the spread of the coronavirus by isolating for the mandated time-period. And we salute him for his sacrifice.[video_embed id='2021405']BEFORE YOU GO: Woman films creepy doll moving on its own[/video_embed]
