Todd's girls went to work with him today... a day late I guess. Shay the five year old came here for a while first. She had a bag of toys with her to take. I asked what all that was for... she raised her eye brows and said, "Daddy's office is really boring!"

This is done primarily on April Fools Day and usually consists of a tall tale rather than a prank. One thing I hate is someone hiring a stripper to celebrate an occasion. I warned my coworkers if they ever wasted their money on that for me I would simply walk out of the room and that would be that. They knew I meant it.<br /><br />Loved taking my kids to work and seemingly everyone enjoyed all the kids, even the ones without kids. But probably they went home and grumbled to their family/friends.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-39719790953116847872013-04-26T14:43:15.291-06:002013-04-26T14:43:15.291-06:00I don't like practical jokes either...I think ...I don't like practical jokes either...I think take your Child to work day is a good idea...our kids always came to work with us...I think it helps them know what their parents do...we have our own business...my daughter came to the office with me...my son worked with my husband in the field...he is now a service tech for our company...has been for almost 11 years now...Hotrod now comes to the office with me every day....he's starting to help me with shredding papers....getting papers from the printer....<br />I'm usually a positive person too..but sometimes things do rile me up....Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-70740982621309304472013-04-26T14:18:24.466-06:002013-04-26T14:18:24.466-06:00Oh I know...I totally don't like to have pract...Oh I know...I totally don't like to have practical jokes played on me...and so I usually don't play them on other people either!<br /><br />I am a sympathetic person and I always feel so sorry for anyone being teased or be-littled.<br /><br />I Hope you will have a good weekend my friend.<br /><br />Love, Linda Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751356958497450109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-3804088199340258132013-04-26T14:08:33.138-06:002013-04-26T14:08:33.138-06:00A still enjoy a "real" game from time to...A still enjoy a "real" game from time to time.

There's nothing funny about anything that can harm or embarrass anyone else. That's why I've never liked America's Funniest Home Videos; most of them aren't funny.<br /><br />I've always enjoyed the "take your child to work" concept because I enjoy working with kids even though I don't have kids of my own. It's an opportunity to teach, even if it's teaching how the photocopier works because "Mom needs copies of this." Where I am a bit of less the social norm, is I never liked it when women on leave bring their babies into the office. That messes with productivity and usually means something doesn't get completed or everyone stays late. Babies don't even make copies.Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-45662447335744551732013-04-26T10:21:31.028-06:002013-04-26T10:21:31.028-06:00Jeanie, grump away - it does us good sometimes.

I'm with you on the practical jokes! I like surprises, but not joke surprises. When take your kids to work day began, my youngest were still in middle/high school. It was awkward taking them out to sit and watch me work with other kids, so, it didn't happen! Good experience for the kids, though, to see what parents do at work. I will always have board games around the house for anyone to play!

Last weekend we went to dinner to new Japanese friends home. They have two cute kids and after dinner the kids wanted to play a game -- we did a board game called Sequence and had such a good time! I thought, this is what it should be. People playing games with each other, on a table, talking, having fun. It was lovely.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.com
