  Today was bring your son or daughter to work day. My thoughts on this idea: stellar. However, there should be some rules set in place before one brings their kids. Rule #1: You child must be aware that they are entering a place of business & they must act accordingly. With that being said, children under a certain age should not attend. Rule #2: If you bring your child, you should not let said child lose to run about the building.
You should remind your child(ren) to use their indoor voices. No, those rules aren't aimed at any particular co-worker in particular; I swear! You're not buying it are you. Here's a brief description of some of the kids I saw: Will son Will Jr.: First words out of his mouth: I'm the boss today! Will Jr. is in the second grade & wears a size 8 shoe. I repeat the kid is 8 & wears a size 8 (in men) shoe! He was very well behaved. Ben's son: I didn't catch his name, but what a cutie! He's around 3 & as soon as he walked in he ran over & gave our receptionist a big hug! He was very well behaved.
Tim's son Mike: probably in his early teens & couldn't stop talking about the bomb threat they had at school on Monday. Reminds me of one of those kids who thinks he's clever, but isn't. Lumping here...the girls, were all very quiet & subdued. HELL er's kids: These would be the kids the rules were made for. I was warned numerous times about HELL er's kids but nothing could prepare me. When I first got to work, I could hear the shrill screeches of HELL er's 3-year-old girl. Then I saw her, running up the hallway, toward the front door trying to get it open; no dad in sight.
Older brother, around 5, says, "No you can't go out there, & then opens the front door for her. Pam immediately gets on the intercom & pages Dad HELL er, meanwhile Son HELL er, says, "I wanna go in the elevator! " Okay, I'm stopping there. I really don't want to relive this anymore.
