Do you ever face ??

I cannot go to school today" Said little Peggy Ann McKay. "I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps.My mouth is wet, my throat is dry. I'm going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I've counted sixteen chicken pox.And there's one more - that's seventeen, And don't you think my face looks green?My leg is cut, my eyes are blue, It might be the instamatic flu.I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, I'm sure that my left leg is broke. My hip hurts when I move my chin, My belly button's caving in.My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained, My 'pendix pains each time it rains. My toes are cold, my toes are numb,I have a sliver in my thumb.My neck is stiff, my voice is weak, I hardly whisper when I speak. My tongue is filling up my mouth,I think my hair is falling out.My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight, My temperature is one-o-eight. My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,There's a hole inside my ear.I have a hangnail, and my heart is ... What? What's that? What's that you say?You say today is .............. Saturday?G'bye, I'm going out to play!”― Shel Silverstein

Really you made me laugh. I always face this situation with my two sons, especially with the younger one. He always pretends sickness to not go to school, unless, the days which he has sport or art classes at them, but, if he has been fallen ill, by chance, at these days, he insists to go to school. And to be honest with you, when I was a little girl some times I resorted to the sickness trick to not go to school, especially, if I have chemistry lesson. Thanks, God bless you and your family.
