Kids are the best. Not only are they sweet, fun and innocent, but sometimes they'll even step up and write a letter to your boss when you're overworked.
A Google employee is getting a full week off work to spend with his daughter next week, thanks to a stirring, hand-scrawled letter she wrote to his supervisor.
"Dear google worker," the letter reads. "Can you please make sure when daddy goes to work, he gets one day off. Like he can get get a day off on Wednesday."
"Because daddy ONLY gets a day off on Saturday."
The little girl's plea didn't stop there, either.
"P.S. It is daddy's BIRTHDAY!" she wrote.
"P.P.S. It is summer, you know."
You know ... she makes a good point. Daniel Shiplacoff, the dad's boss, apparently saw the letter and agreed, responding with a letter of his own.
"Dear Katie," he writes (or types).
"Thank you for your thoughtful note and request. Your father has been hard at work designing many beautiful and delightful things for Google and millions of people across the globe."
"On the occasion of his birthday, and recognizing the importance of taking some Wednesdays off during the summer, we are giving him the whole first week of July as vacation time. Enjoy!"
Shiplacoff later confirmed to the Huffington Post that the exchange was real and that this valued member of his team will in fact be getting the vacation time.
Score one for Katie!
