And yes, you can also rent a daughter for take your daughter to work days. 

On the day my son was born I taught a law and economics class on the economics of baby-selling.  I’ve always been rather proud of this but I don’t think I’m ready to rent my kids.  On the other hand, I never refuse an offer before hearing the price.
