Jacinda Ardern was so eager to get out of the house this morning she didn’t notice nappy cream smeared on her coat.
The working mother-of-one said she’d ‘spare everyone the details’ of the mishap, but was praised by her followers for her ability to multitask and her honesty.
Ms Ardern is currently leading New Zealand through the coronavirus pandemic, and is the envy of the world for her nation’s success in flattening the curve and almost eradicating the virus entirely.
‘Why is it only when you are the furtherest you could possibly be from a change of clothes before you notice that you have nappy cream on you?’ she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday morning.

The 39-year-old’s only daughter, Neve, will be two next month.
The PM led her country right up until Neve’s birth and returned to work after just six weeks maternity leave, opting to juggle new motherhood and watching over the population of five million.
Ms Ardern’s fans commended her honesty for sharing the candid moment.
‘Thanks for keeping it real,’ one wrote.
‘So lovely to see the human side of a politicians life – such a huge change.’

Others took the opportunity to thank the PM for her leadership during the coronavirus crisis, as well as the White Island volcano tragedy and Christchurch mass shooting.
One follower said she shouldn’t beat herself up for missing the nappy cream as she left for work in the morning because she would have been ‘too busy being the world’s best prime minister’.
‘This just screams mama life.’
The Kiwi leader has been praised for her transparency during the coronavirus crisis, with the New York Times labelling her leadership a ‘master class in how to respond.’
There are just 1,486 known cases of the deadly respiratory infection in New Zealand, including 20 deaths.
