Yesterday was Take Your Daughter to Work Day. When I was a kid, I used to think this was the unfairest holiday ever. All the little girls got to miss school and go to work while Take Your Son to Work Day was some time during the summer, if it even existed.
Now I realize that going to the workplace is probably the only possible thing more boring for a 12-year-old child than going to school, unless your dad is a chocolate factory owner or a Double-O agent, so I am OK with this holiday. If your dad was a Double-O agent you probably couldn’t go to work with him anyway because of super secret spy stuff, so that leaves chocolate factory owners, and we all know Willy Wonka didn’t have kids.
Back to the point. Since everyone loves Take Your Daughter to Work Day, and everyone also loves celebrities, I thought I would use this time to speculate how our favorite celebrities spent their special day.
Let’s start with Alec Baldwin. Alec probably took his daughter, Ireland, to the set of his NBC show, “30 Rock.” I hope she was ready for Alec to pick her up at the planned time, otherwise he would have made an ass of himself for nothing. He’s tired of playing those games with her. It doesn’t matter if she is 11 or 12 or whatever, she has no decency as a human being. They probably hung out together most of the day backstage until Ireland called Tina Fey ugly.
I hope Ireland was ready at this point because Alec probably went over there, straightened her out and then turned right around and went home. That would let her know how disappointing she is. Alec is tired of looking foolish.
Don’t feel bad for this 11-year-old girl though, she is a “rude, thoughtless little pig.”
I wonder how Akon’s day went, although I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a daughter. Just for fun, let’s pretend he does and that she is, oh, I don’t know, 15 years old. Akon has turned himself into an international superstar, so I bet he would have taken her to one of his concerts – probably the one in Trinidad.
Since it was Take Your Daughter to Work Day, he probably would have let her come on stage. He may have even shown her how to dance in front of the crowd. If she was a good enough dancer, he probably would have given her a free trip to Africa.
Wouldn’t that have been a special daddy-daughter moment? After all, Akon did show that pastor’s daughter a thing or two about dancing.
Or what about Larry Birkhead? I imagine Dannielynn spent most of the day playing with toys while Larry slept on the couch, watched baseball and was attended to by several manservants. Larry probably also did a few interviews from his easy chair so the NBC affiliates can get their money’s worth out of that six-figure deal they paid for exclusive rights to his story.
