Oh, a little backgrounder on my manager before the story. He is late 30s, married with 3 daughters. Eldest just completed her PSLE. The rest about 2 to 3 years younger. My manager's office has always been very messy. And when I mean messy, I mean cups with dried tea leaves that are months old ; Unread magazines with papers piled like a mountain on his table. No one leaves their office in this state for long.. well, maybe except him.
And he entertains guests and customers in his office. The shame of sitting in the same room.. The horror I have to endure..
So story goes that over the last weekend, he brought his wife, 3 daughters, and a other kids who are the daughters' friends. On the pretext of having an "educational tour" of our office.
So there you have, no less than 6 kids running around on a Saturday morning (oh, we lucky bastards have been having 5-day work week all along). When his wife enters the office, she commented about the messy state, and tried guessed how many months of neglect it showed. Proudly, he joked that it has not been tidied since he moved into that office (That was like, since Christmas last year.)
And one of the boys shouted out loud, "Uncle, your place like pig's sty !"... To which another kid ran over and said in Mandarin "Then Auntie, you are the mother pig lor !"...
And today, the office was much neater.... much much neater.. And I think we can expect no more educational tour for a while..

I wonder what made your manager think it was such a good idea bringing Kids to your workplace? Furthermore, bring his kid's friends too.
I think this is a perfect example of a shot from the hips gone terribly wrong.
