What if, for a day, we could run the adult business world like the world that children in kinder- garten and first grade live in.
What would this switch look like?
Getting your way based upon age… Imagine the older administrative assistant walking into the office and announcing to her younger boss: “Today we do it my way ’cause I’m 56 (and a half!) years old!”
Rest for the weary... After playing with our computers, reports, and charts in the morning, it is announced “Nap time. Everyone lay your heads down on their desks.”
Toy boxes and Learning Centers… Each day when you get to the office you could just go over to a box and pick out some work that looks interesting to you.
Field Trips… A trip to the firehouse, dairy, or local newspaper office. Load up the big yellow bus! We adults still have a lot to learn about this big world of ours.
Take Home Projects... All that we big people bring home from the office is a paycheck and stress. Doesn’t our family deserve something made out of clay or pipe cleaners?
Relief… Every hour we designate “line leaders” and — as a group — it’s off to the bathroom. ”Boys in one line, girls in the other. No touching. No tripping!”

“Switch” is from the album Guilty Pleasure by Ashley Tisdale. Top 10 Challenge: In June, I will write 10 posts titled after the first 10 songs that rotate on a random shuffle of my iPod.
