All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I know the feeling.
So anyway, yesterday, Jessie is in her History class. The teacher has a "pop quiz" everyday, the kids are asked to write down 4 things that happened on that day in history. He's going through the papers, comes to hers, stops, looks up, and says "So Jessie, tell me, are you going to be sick on Thursday? <cough><cough>"
Of course, she replies that she's starting to not feel so well, and yes, will probably be out "sick" on Thursday.
Then a classmate of hers turns and asks "Jessie! Are you going to the Home Opener!?!"
And the whole class breaks up laughing. They know. Probably the whole Middle School knows.
My son thinks that if the Principal is a jackass (which I think he is, but that's another story), he might just send the Truancy Police to come get her. Sure. How are they going to get into the ballpark? PNC Park is officially a sell out...
(Yes, I know that the cops can get in anyway, don't spoil the humor)
