Faker

Skyler called me from school yesterday and said (in a very miserable voice), “Mom, I don’t feel very good. Do you think that I could come home?” I said, “Well, you were fine last night and this morning. You know if you miss school today, you probably shouldn’t miss again on Friday to go to the family reunion.” He answered, “Oh. Um. I forgot about that. Well. Um. OK, maybe I should give it another hour and see how I feel.” I told him that was a great idea.

He came home happy and healthy as could be.
