My Mom, She Lied

Hold on to your hats blogging buddies, this is a doozy!


Everyday when we take attendance we ask the students who were absent the previous day if they have a note.  I am sure this is just your favorite thing to do, as it is mine since it really isn't my favorite.  I'm a parent, I know how to write a note that will excuse my child for an absence that isn't legit truly shows how sick they were.


Sorry for the rambling..... student A brings up the note, hands it to me and says "my mom, she lied".  My partner had to get under her desk (I think she was going to pee in a bucket because she was squatting and laughing all at once).  I said "what do you mean, she lied", fear must have set in because student A sort of looked like a deer caught in headlights.  


The letter said "sick because of an awful sickness, really really really bad sickness, blah, blah blah (I improvised here).  So I figured it out and said "were you really sick or were you at....".  I am a genius like that!  Student A couldn't believe that I knew the truth!  So Student A proceeded to say that is what the lie was and there wasn't any sickness.


Moral of the story:  Parents, your kids will sell you out to their teachers.  Especially a first grader, so don't waste your time with the infamous my kid was on death's door letter, because they will tell us all about their trip to Disney World, LOL!
