Throwback Thursday - Faking sick

When you're a child its never ok to lie to your parents, unless you just didnt really feel like going to school that day then it was totally cool. Kids all across America try and pull off the "fake sick" look but only a few ever mastered it like I did. A lot more comes into play then just saying "Mom, I dont feel good". For instance, when my mom would go get the thermometer from the downstairs medicine cabinet, I'd quick do 25 jumping jacks to look sweaty and raise my body temp. Youre probably thinking, "Oh my god Nick your a genius" I know fools, I know.
You need to pick and choose your battles too, you cant be faking sick every Thursday, unless your mom has Downs and barely even knows who you are, doing it twice a year should be sufficient. I usually aimed for days I had a paper or project due, That way I got an extra 24 hours to get that shiz finished.
My favorite part of faking sick, was when my mom would run some errands. Then I could finally get out of bed and play some vids (videogames for you non cool people) and I would go raid the fridge like Rosie O'donell for some serious pigging out, because when I was sick all my mom would give me was Saltine crackers and Ginger Ale.
The worst 2 parts about faking sick; well first off not a single f'n thing was ever on TV, I always found myself watching Montell Williams interview a 14 year old hooker. The second worst part about the day you faked sick was something unbelievably cool ALWAYS happened that day at school and you werent there to see it. I guess thats the price you pay though when youre awesome at faking sick.

To all of the kids reading this; never skip school. It is only cool when you are doing it, but when you look back, it actually caused you more grief.
For the record, I only missed 5 classes in all undergrad and graduate school.

I must say gang, Bobby has a good point. He missed one more class than I did. I often relate classes at any level to a meal. If you miss it, you will likely go hungry.

I once killed a pet snake because it wouldn't eat the mouse on command.
