Little girl gets time off for her dad by writing to his boss

Kids, if you want your parents to have more time off this summer, maybe you need to take matters into your own hands.

One little girl named Katie did just that, asking her father's employer, Google, to grant her father a day off (preferably on Wednesday, because she's concerned that he only gets Saturdays off).

"Dear Google worker," read Katie's letter, which was posted on Reddit last week. "Can you please make sure when daddy goes to work, he gets one day off. Like he can get a day off on Wednesday. Because daddy ONLY gets a day off on Saturday."

"P.S. It is daddy’s BIRTHDAY!" she added.

"P.P.S. It is summer, you know."

Katie's letter proved this simple truth: It never hurts to ask.

Her dad's boss, senior design manager Daniel Shiplacoff, responded to the cute letter, complimenting Katie's dad's hard work — and granted him a bonus week of vacation in July.

"Dear Katie," his letter read, "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 or 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," he added.

"Enjoy!"

While the scanned letters between Katie and Google have since been removed from Imgur, a Google spokesman did confirm to The Blaze that the letter from Shiplacoff is authentic.

Kids, keep writing those letters.

In 2012, 10-year-old Sophia Bailey wrote a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama about being teased for having two fathers. Obama responded personally to the sincere letter, telling the young girl he was proud to be her president.

"You are very fortunate to have two parents who care deeply for you. They are lucky to have such an exceptional daughter in you," he wrote.

"Our differences unite us. You and I are blessed to live in a country where we are born equal no matter what we look like on the outside, where we grow up, or who our parents are," Obama continued. "A good rule is to treat others the way you hope they will treat you. Remind your friends at school about this rule if they say something that hurts your feelings."

In 2013, 7-year-old Myles Nelson wrote to Joe Biden with a sweet solution to gun violence: chocolate bullets.

Biden responded with a hand-written letter:

"I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate. You are a good boy."

Last fall, a young boy's letter to Santa went viral. In it, he requested that Santa arrange for Big Time Rush to play at his bullied twin sister's birthday party. Santa — and the Internet — delivered. Big Time Rush serenaded the twins on Good Morning America, and made them VIP guests at a concert in New York City.

And some kids aren't content to write just one letter. Five-year-old Toby Little is busy "writing to the world."
