Of ocurse mothers should bring their children to work!

ALL their children!

Annie, George, Lowell, and Anthea!

Kids LOVE watching their mother work. Their goal in life is to create work for their mother, so that they can then watch their mother do all that work. This does not only apply to business work, of course, but also-and perhaps mainly- to domestic work.

Imagine if Mom gets to do domestic work at her workplace too! It's even more fun then watching Mom work at home, because the setting is so intriguing and allows for much more creativity after the kids have thought up of just about everything at your home environment! (You hope.)

If you bring the family pet, it gets even better.

Just picture this scenario: Mom is a secretary at a legal office. She has the revolving chair, mahogany desk, carpeting, the works.

Babysitter can't (0r won't) make it, so Mom piles kids into the car and brings them to work. "It's only for today," she shrugs apologetically at Mr. Boss, who peers out of his office to see where all the racket is coming from. "They won't be any trouble. I've brought them coloring books, Sudoku, and Ginger, our family cat, who they are so fond of playing with. They'll entertain themselves. Anything you want me to take care of today that you didn't mention on the memo? I'll manage even the extra work, of course..."

Mom begins working and the kids begin to entertain themselves. Annie and George start fighting over the purple crayon. Anthea pulls the cat's tail and makes her wail. Lowell goes off to explore the building. He peers into every office on the floor and leers at comments like, "OH! Hello, kid, where's your mother? Aw, you're really cute, you know that? Would you like a candy?" Lowell, of course, is wearing his five-pocket pants. One candy is just not enough for him. The executives don't mind at all because most of their clients don't bother sucking candy anyway.

Then Lowell decides to entertain all those guys in the cubicles, so he pops in and does his best imitation angry pit bull growl. The executives think it's funny except for Sheldon, who pressed "delete" by mistake when his hand moved. However, when he starts his second round and does handstands every time he catches somebody's eye, they ask him to leave.

Meanwhile, Anthea gets bored of teasing the cat and lets her go. Ginger streaks through the office, upsetting piles of papers and pen receptacles and telephones in her way. She hides in Mr. Boss's office, and he starts sneezing.
