Last year he dressed up as T-rex.

When you're a kid, going to work with your parent can be a total bore, unless you get to dress up as Godzilla, of course.

Professor Erika Biga Lee at the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University brought her 7-year-old kid Max to her class on Tuesday because his school had an inservice day. So what do you do to entertain yourself as a 7-year-old in a college level class? Dress like Godzila.

A student of Lee's snapped a few photos of Max parading around the class, and by the looks of it, everyone was pretty amused by his costume.

Lee told Storyful that Max enjoys dressing up, and this wasn't his first time coming to class in costume -- last year, he dressed as T-rex.

Lee's student tweeted the photos, and Twitter, thoroughly enjoyed the pics. The tweet has since racked up over 1,700 retweets.
