When in the midst of parenthood, this is the "price" associated with letting your kid do whatever they're doing that would normally annoy the living piss out of you in order to obtain a brief solace to accomplish any sort of meaningful task you've set out to do.
Think of it in this context:
Your 4 year old is outside flinging mud against the house. They're preoccupied, and normally you don't want your kid caking your house in mud. However, maybe you're talking with a neighbor or doing yard work. You want to keep doing that thing because the kid is distracted for a bit.
If we think about the situation pretty simplistically, you can either:
A) Yell at them to stop, whereby they'll likely find something equally as irritating or perhaps dangerous to do while you're still engaged in whatever you were doing.
B) Let them keep doing it and stay distracted for an undetermined amount of time, hopefully a while.
So once you're basically weighing how disruptive your kid's activity is versus the bit of time you'll receive to do what you need to do.

Person 1: Yesterday Timmy was flinging gravel across the yard all over the damn place.
Person 2) Is that why my damn window is broken?
Person 1) Yeah, but you know, it was the price of peace. At least I was able to finish up the deck.

What Columbo would say if he was asked to collect da testimony of irate 'n' bickering witnesses who would need to be verbally placified and encouraged to get along wif each other so dat they could all speak coherently while relating to said famous detective what they saw.
What with Columbo's inherently calm and unassuming manner, he put people at ease, and so if he said, "I reckon I can peace the story together" during an investigation, you could generally count on his being able to do so.
