Reasons to NOT participate in Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
Who says you have to always take parenting and working seriously - and when you combine the two -- forget it -- just look at the lighter side.
We did.
Today is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work day.
So we came up with a few reasons you might NOT want to bring them.
We started with a few light and fun missives of our own:
Reasons NOT to take your kid to work:
• I'm ashamed of my work.
• You might lose your job. What boss could resist a cheaper, younger version of you?
• Your brown bag lunch will consist of a juice box.
• Do you really want your kid to see that your office now consists of a broom closet, an abacus and scrap paper, thanks to budget cuts?
Now, it's up to you to comment to add to the list.
