I didn't take my daughter to work day

Did you? It was April 24, last Thursday. I totally forgot about it, even after Cathy, our head of Time.com operations, reminded me to post that day on the topic. In my defense, taking my daughter to work requires a) securing a spot for her in the company's on-site daycare; b) planning my commute around her; c) clearing my work schedule of any overtime activities. None of that happened last week.

But I'd still like to hear: What did you do for Take Your Child to Work Day, as I believe the day's been renamed? Does its co-ed reincarnation take away its relevance?
