00:00Good afternoon, this is Sponk Life Choices.
00:02Hi, is this the care home?
00:04Yeah, this is the care home.
00:05Hi, I'm just wondering if you can look after my mum.
00:10Is your mum there?
00:11She's in bed fast asleep and she's just getting too much for me to do on my own.
00:17How old are you?
00:18I'm three nearly six.
00:19My mum, she's in bed all the time.
00:22So I've got her washing pots, I've got to wash my room, I've got to do my own clothes,
00:28I've got to make my own tea.
00:29So can you look after my mum?
00:31How old is your mum?
00:32Well, well old.
00:35She's asleep, could you not go and wake her up?
00:37No, once my mum's had some of Uncle Barry's plants in the attic, my mum's asleep for hours.
00:44You have to be over 18.
00:46I'm old enough to put my mum in a home because she's doing the editing air.
00:50Do you have any other older brothers and sisters?
00:53No, just me, I've got a dog.
00:55Is he asleep as well?
00:56Yeah, my dog's asleep, takes after my mum.
00:58It's just you on your own with the dog while your mum's asleep.
01:02My Uncle Barry, he sometimes comes around, but he's not allowed around for a Monday because
01:07we're only allowed less than six people in the house and my mum's the same size as seven
01:12people.
01:16Does mummy sleep a lot and then you're on your own?
01:19Does this happen a lot?
01:20It happens more than it should.
01:22Does mummy like to drink beers or adult drinks?
01:26She doesn't drink alcohol now, but sometimes she has Uncle Barry's plants out of his attic and then she's asleep
01:33for ages.
01:35Mum's been asleep for about 10 minutes so I thought I'm just going to take the opportunity to try and
01:41find someone that's going to look after her so I don't have to.
01:44Do you know what mummy's name is?
01:46Mum.
01:46Do you hear other people call mum by a different name?
01:49Uncle Barry's got loads of names for mum, but I'm not allowed to say her.
01:53I ran the skip hire company ages ago to put her in the skip.
01:58That would have been too expensive because she's Mathis.
02:02It's nice that you want to look after your mummy.
02:04That's very nice of you.
02:05I have been looking after my mum, but I just got to the end of my tether and I'm sick
02:10to death of her.
02:11Do you have a nanny?
02:12What, like a nanny?
02:13Yeah, you're like a grand.
02:14No, she's dead.
02:16Uh, sorry.
02:18That's okay.
02:19I didn't know her anyway, but yeah, she's definitely dead.
02:21Your mummy would probably be a bit too young.
02:24She's got all my tash and everything.
02:26She looks like Freddie Mercury, but trust me, she's no queen.
02:31Just before I go.
02:33This is just a prank call.
02:35I'm not really a kid.
02:36I just wanted to ring up, have a little bit of a laugh, but also I just wanted to say
02:40on behalf of everyone,
02:42thank you so much for everything that you're doing during the lockdown, during the pandemic.
02:46We've all been stood outside clapping for the NHS, but you are the unsung heroes, those carers, like yourselves,
02:53that are looking for everyone who's not got the voice to say thank you.
02:57I just want to say on behalf of everyone, a huge thank you.
03:01The NHS, we've been clapping for them, and rightly so, but you in your industry, the frontline workers,
03:06the care workers, you are absolutely amazing, just as much as the NHS.
03:11That's amazing.
03:12Because when you said, oh, NHS, I was about to stop you there and go, oh, sorry, we're not part
03:17of the NHS,
03:18but you're right.
03:19People rely on people like you to look after family members.
03:22My name's Tim.
03:23I do the voice of Tiny Tim on Facebook, on YouTube.
03:27You are a superhero without the cape.
03:29Oh, this is crazy.
03:30I'm sorry for winding you up.
03:31I was like, how often is the mum asleep?
03:33It was hilarious, you're right in my day.
03:35I just got your mum's okay.
03:36Thank you so much.
03:37Oh, no, it's fine.
03:38Take care, bye now.
03:39Bye-bye, bye-bye.
03:40Hey, everybody, it's me.
