I'm staying home from school today. I'd rather be in bed pretending that I have a pain that's pounding in my head.
I'll say I have a stomach ache. I'll claim I've got the flu. I'll shiver like I'm cold and hold my breath until I'm blue.
I'll fake a cough. I'll fake a sneeze. I'll say my throat is sore. If necessary I can throw a tantrum on the floor.
I'm sure I'll get away with it. Of that, there's little doubt. But, even so, I really hope my students don't find out. --Kenn Nesbitt
