For some reason, next month marking 30 years since Star Wars doesn't wibble me the same way, maybe because I was so young when SW came out. But U2? The firs time I saw them live was at the orange bowl on the joshua tree tour and my original version of the album was a cassette tape. I didn't have a cd player yet.
Speaking of feeling old, this is the first year that my eldest is old enough to participate in Take Our Children To Work Day, so it's been on my mind a lot. Other countries don't do this, I don't think? Does Canada? It's a neat idea, letting kids - usually 8+ - see what goes on at their parents' offices, but at most smaller places, it can be hard to do work while amusing a kid, and at larger places you don't get to see an ordinary day. The theory is neat, though.
And, of course, the concept of Take Our Children to Work Day works well as a fic challenge (maybe a drabble challenge?) too.
What does Primatech Paper do t make the day special?
How are things at MODE with tweens in the picture?
Do they still have TOCTW days at Starfleet Academy?
RPF on the set of 30 Rock this year, when Alec Baldwin's daughter drops by?
...I can't even type up all the possible Weechester scenarios...
Feel free to gack the challenge- it could be fun - and if you do write something from the prompt, please let me know?
