But, since Mayhem is a kid, they did have to take into consideration that at times, she just needed to do little girl things. “Everyone knew and embraced that Mayhem was a little girl who liked having fun making stuff,” Mayhem’s mom said. “And when she got tired, it was totally OK that she took an impromptu nap in Jenny’s office.”
If only we adults were afforded such luxuries at our jobs.
