Take your child to work?

Does anybody really do this? As we were waiting for Thad in the Bed Bath and Beyond parking lot so he could take over caring for the kids and I could go to work, Malia told me she wanted to come to work with me. First of all, I can't see why anyone would think going to work would be fun, I mean my job's not all that bad but it is work. Then I realized that she was missing me because I have been working a lot and she figured if she came with me she would get to spend more time with me. Smart girl! I did convince her that it wouldn't be any fun and that mommy would be too busy working to have fun with her. So she went home with Thad and of course was able to watch a movie, eat popcorn, and drink slushies. Man I'm really bummed I had to work and missed out on all the fun! Aah what it would be like to be a kid again and to really enjoy life!
