Father Knows Best....




John: "Hi Mrs. Smith"...( dramatically coughing)

Me: "John, are you sick?"

John: "I don't know, everytime I cough my Dad says I'm full of it...but I still have to come to school."

I have a daughter with that same cough. Sometimes it affects her stomach, too. I hope it's not contagious...

Scope said...

With the Swine Plague going around taking out entire schools, what's a little Whooping Cough between friends?

WeaselMomma said...

Too funny. I love that Dad!

My oldest fakes being WELL so he won't miss school. LOL. He's got a lot to learn.

I think the parents just need to get the kids out of the house, no matter what so they can go to work.

Secretia! (SECRET STORY TIME)

Bitchy shedding even a few tears is very telling.

LadyFi said...

Love it! And I think that what Dove is doing to boost female self-esteem is wonderful!

Just so he's not full of the swine flu.

King Rufus had the very same problem as your student yesterday, literally. (Ask me about the fun day of colon exams, sonograms, etc......)

Thanks for the linky love!

Your timing is perfect. I kept Goom home from school today because he's had a cough for a week. Not sure it will do any good but maybe a day of rest is just what the doctor ordered.

Everyone around here is having bronchial problems...YUCK

much love

I never got to miss school unless there was significant fever and/or bleeding involved.

Unknown said...

Or as I like to say, "Suck it up".

Sprite's Keeper said...

Poor John. My parents used to say the same thing to me. And look at me now! I'm still VERY bitter about it...

*cough *

What?

LoveAndBooze said...

HAHA! I remember when I was younger. If we were too sick to go to school, we couldn't do anything but lay in bed. No toys, T.V., or video games. It was better to just go to school. I never missed a day (until high school).

Ambiance in the Attic said...

As a child, we had to be on our death bed or go to school. My dad was a Doctor so there was no faking it. I think my son gets one over on me from time to time.

Maureen@IslandRoar said...

Let's hope that's all he's full of. But I kinda doubt it...

Unknown said...

those kids...
gotta love 'em :)


Peace - Rene

I mentioned your Dove thing on my blog yesterday!

Cute! Reminds me of a story my niece told me about her son. She was expecting her second child last August. Will was in kindergarten, and he is ALL BOY!! Well, his dad had warned him that if he had to go to the office, he would get it when he got home.

Amy had sent a note to the principal to request permission for Will to miss school on the day she was supposed to have Maggie. The office called Will's classroom to tell his teacher that the letter was in the office for Will to take home. When his teacher told him that he needed to go to the office, he adamantly refused. He finally said, "My daddy said that if I ever go to the office, I'll get IT when I get home!"

The teacher was eventually able to convince him that he was NOT in any trouble and it would be okay to go. She sent a note home to Allen to ask him to explain to Will that there are some times when he might need to go to the office and he wouldn't get IT when he got home. LOL

The Mind of a Mom said...

That is so something my ex-husband would say to the boy and then I would be the one to get the call from the teacher... :o)

Desert Songbird said...

Yeah, I've been "full of it" a lot lately.

Scary Mommy said...
