Today, I have the flu. I woke up to my son leaning over me, inches from my face, breathing in deeply. Apparently, he was trying to get sick so he could stay home from school. He's 15. FML

An excuse to sleep all day instead of attending highschool, a known hell? Can't say I don't see where the kids coming from. Might be a bit skewed with the risk/reward ratio, but depending on how the social aspect of highschool is for him, it might seem worth it.

I would choose school over having the flu. I had the flu once and it sucks. High fever, chills, muscle aches, nausea...no thanks.

At least with flu there's a limit to the nasty. You can only puke up so much, and the right meds knock you out and you sleep through most of it. I'll take flu over pneumonia any day. The year I spent a week out of school with it around Halloween, between the meds, fever, and 24 hour Scooby Doo marathon going on, I was hallucinating like mad.

It sounds like he can't afford to stay home from school.

Time to have a talk with your son and explain how that's not the way to get sick

He could've taken the easy approach of just saying I'm not going or pretending to be sick

You have to give it to him though, he's inventive!
