Bring your kids to work day
Was really getting annoying, until I walked into an ice cream sundae bar in the lunch room. Holy crap.

Last year we had a jelly bean tasting contest (where you had to guess the flavor, and it included gross ones). One of the kids got booger wrong and he protested by saying "that's not what boogers taste like!"
I haven't sen any today, which is odd because we normally have a lot.

I've never worked somewhere this was a possibility due to citizenship/access requirements.
However, a few weeks back apparently one of my coworkers had her like 6 year old at work all day long (sick? I don't know). I realized this mostly through the day and then immediately became concerned about cursing or conversations I'd had that day since her cube was opposite mine. You should at least let people know when you're adding your kid to their typical adult environment.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Whatever Christin. You brought your kid to work today.
This explains why I've seen so many children in my office today. I wish we had ice cream. I want some real bad.Baby Boxer is coming! 5.23.12

My firm allows kids to come in (I think they have to be 6 or older). However, they make them all hang out in the training room and do activities all day. Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose? Aren't kids supposed to actually see what their parents do all day?
Since I am on a different floor than the training room, I have only seen one kid today - a pre-teen that they put to work delivering mail.

I went with my dad once as a young teen I think and I thought it was awesome. He worked in the field though and his partner was my uncle, so it was really no imposition on anyone else. I feel like there should be some sort of advance discussion if people are randomly bringing kids into the office though.
