Andy, a little boy in Ann Arbor, Michigan, watched his mother pack her work bag and asked, “What are you doing mommy?”
“Getting ready for work,” she replied.
As he gathered his things, she asked him the same and he answered:
“I’m getting ready for kids work.”
And thus little Andy named Kids’ Work in 1978.
