Kids to Work

 

Today is Take Your Kid to Work Day and I have to wonder how many folks are brave enough to try it. Lurking behind each smile will be the worries about the myriad of embarrassing things that could happen. You know your kids pretty well, and work is certainly not the most exciting place for you either soooo… it stands to reason that a disaster is inevitable.

This morning schedules will be cleared, conference rooms taken over with crayons and pencils and peanut butter sandwiches will be on every menu. Impromptu meetings will be started with a quick wink at the parent and a “Hate to bother your but…” and will be handled with no arguing or slamming of paperwork. Today games can be played on the computer, doodles drawn on notepads in meetings and long lunches are allowed. Cool!

My boys are with their Dad at work. I admit I warned him to only take one since I have them at work everyday together and well, they are my boys. They were so proud and excited to be invited and he was looking forward to taking them. I can’t wait to hear the stories about how cool Dad’s work is.

Enjoy your kids today. Show them off and you may even be amazed when they don’t embarrass you.
