It's BYO Kid Day At Penn!

As you're no longer a 9-year-old looking to skip school, you may not be aware that today is National Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day. Penn will be participating in TODASTWD by welcoming employees' offspring all through campus today. UTB decided to put ourselves in their tiny, annoying, tiny shoes by considering a kid's perspective on a day here at dear ole Penn.

Passing by DRL: Ooooooh a JAIL, is this a JAIL Dad? Is this where they keep the BAD KIDS, Dad?

Lunching at Hill: I can have GOLDFISH in my salad, Mom? And unlimited ICE CREAM scooped with a dirty spoon from a pail of stagnant water! I wish my school cafeteria was like this (Except for the lunch ladies, these lunch ladies are SCARY)!

In the back of a lecture: All these kids are playing GAMES, I want to play games in school we only play boring typing games in school ooh and that girl is buying SHOES!

Walking down Locust: There is so much STRANGER DANGER. Why are they all  trying to talk to me and give me things. Some of them even have CANDY do they think I'm an idiot luring me in with CANDY? Everyone else looks so SAD looking at their phones. I wonder if they're playing Angry Birds? I love Angry Birds!

Playing on the Button: This is such a fun place to PLAY, why are all the Penn students INSTAGRAMMING me? And why are all those guys in tight pants talking funny and smoking CIGARETTES and outside the library? Didn't anyone tell them smoking is BAD and turns your lungs into little RAISINS?

Qdoba: Mom, this is where we're gonna eat tacos? It's so quiet, are you sure it isn't a library?

Watch out for these munchkins today on campus and try not to step on any!
