LOOOL
I had a friend I was playing with in a dungeon that said "sorry afk I farted and it stinks so bad"

"BRB Cat on Fire" is my go-to excuse

Also, as far as playing while looking after kids:

I have a two year old son, the wife and I both play. He naps for 2 hours in the afternoon, so we alot 1 hour to play XIV in case he wakes up early. He sleeps solidly through the night, so from 8pm we can play as much as we want. On the very rare occasion he wakes himself up, one of us AFKs for the 2 minutes it takes to calm him down and put him back to sleep.

I agree you shouldn't be playing while your child is awake/needs attention until they are old enough to look after themselves (23 years old maybe?) but having children doesn't stop you playing altogether.

(There was one awkward Titan run where he'd woken up early and refused to be held by his mum, only me. Managed to heal through Titan without getting hit with a toddler on one arm, felt pretty leet that day.

So back in FFXI days I'd get a few invites for XP parties with JP players; mainly due to the name. So one party was running in G. Citadel, and I had to use the restroom after a couple of hours. So of course sent a message "wc brb! >.<" and went along to do my business. Taking a bit longer than I thought I got back to one of the JP asking in auto translate " {Cat} に落ちる？" or something similar. XD

'afk, someone just did a drive by on my neighbors house'

Lmao! I've seen similar fart-related excuses. The only time I've ever needed to leave and open a window is when my dog walks by and does it. It's horrible.

Yep, I was about to say the same. This is also my case and you can't prevent when they are going to wake up in the middle of the night...

There are zombies in my backyard.

One of mine: Brb, cat just caught a mouse and brought it in to show his mommy. He dropped it and it's still alive enough to run and it's hiding behind my wardrobe.

My Toes are cold!
