Expecting Mitchell's Terrible Twos at Work
When Mitchell comes to work with me, I fully expect him to embrace his inner toddler. Here are 20 hilarious and relatable antics I anticipate seeing from him in his pamper short shorts and firetruck shirt:
Throwing a Tantrum: If he doesn’t get his favorite snack, expect a full-on meltdown right in the break room. If I catch him acting like a grown-up instead, I’ll have to remind him that this isn’t a corporate meeting; it’s a toddler takeover!
Running Around: He’ll be zooming through the office like it’s a race track, dodging chairs and coworkers. If I see him walking calmly, I might just have to question if he’s secretly a robot!
Demanding Attention: Mitchell will insist on being the center of attention, interrupting meetings with loud “Look at me!” shouts. If he tries to act all serious, I’ll have to remind him that this is a fun zone, not a boardroom!
Coloring on Everything: Watch out for crayons! He’ll probably try to color on the whiteboard or even my reports. If I catch him using a pen instead, I might just lose my mind—who does he think he is, Picasso?
Making Messes: Expect spills and crumbs everywhere as he munches on snacks while “working.” If he’s cleaning up after himself, I’ll have to double-check if he’s really Mitchell or just a very responsible adult in disguise.
Playing with Office Supplies: He’ll turn paperclips into toys and use sticky notes as confetti. If I see him organizing things, I’ll know something’s up—this isn’t a place for adulting!
Singing Loudly: Mitchell will belt out nursery rhymes at the top of his lungs, completely oblivious to the serious atmosphere. If he’s humming quietly, I might just have to poke him to make sure he’s still the same fun-loving guy!
Hiding Under Desks: When he needs a break, he’ll crawl under my desk for a “nap” or just to escape. If I catch him sitting in a chair like a grown-up, I’ll have to remind him that naps are meant to be spontaneous!
Pointing Out Everything: He’ll loudly announce every little thing he sees, like “Look! A plant!” or “Wow, a stapler!” If he starts using big words instead, I’ll have to question if he’s been replaced by an adult version of himself.
Demanding to Play: He’ll insist on taking breaks to play games, pulling coworkers into impromptu play sessions. If he’s too focused on work, I’ll have to stage an intervention—this isn’t a place for serious business!
Wearing a Crown: He’ll find a paper crown and declare himself the “King of the Office.” If he’s not wearing it, I might just have to remind him that royalty is a must in our kingdom!
Making Up Stories: Expect him to spin wild tales about his “adventures” during lunch breaks. If he starts talking about spreadsheets instead, I’ll know he’s gone rogue!
Dancing Randomly: He’ll break into spontaneous dance moves, especially when his favorite song plays. If I catch him standing still, I’ll have to challenge him to a dance-off to get that energy flowing!
Asking “Why?”: Prepare for endless “Why?” questions about everything from the printer to the coffee machine. If he stops asking questions, I’ll have to check if he’s lost his sense of wonder!
Pretending to Be a Firefighter: In his firetruck shirt, he’ll run around pretending to save the day, complete with sound effects. If he’s acting all serious, I’ll have to remind him that we need a hero, not a corporate drone!
Trading Snacks: He’ll try to barter for snacks with coworkers, offering “trading cards” or stickers. If he’s not negotiating like a pro, I’ll know something’s off!
Jumping on Chairs: He’ll see chairs as trampolines and bounce around like it’s a playground. If I catch him sitting quietly, I might just have to remind him that chairs are for jumping, not sitting!
Making Funny Faces: Expect him to pull silly faces at anyone who makes eye contact, just to get a laugh. If he’s being all serious, I’ll have to remind him that laughter is the best medicine!
Playing Hide and Seek: He’ll hide behind office furniture, giggling when someone tries to find him. If he’s not playing along, I’ll have to drag him back into the fun!
Demanding Storytime: At some point, he’ll insist on a storytime session, gathering coworkers for an impromptu reading. If he’s too busy with work, I’ll have to remind him that every good workday needs a story!
With Mitchell around, work is bound to be a mix of chaos and laughter. If I catch any grown-up behavior from him, I’ll have to remind him that we’re here to have fun and embrace our inner toddlers!
