Short is sick today. When he woke up with a nasty cough, I told him he was staying home. He asked if that meant unlimited hot chocolate, so the Nice Mommy/ Bad Nutritionist said, “Sure!” Next, I informed him, “We have to call your school to let them know you’re sick.”
He looked me in the eye, a flat expression on his little round face, and said completely deadpan:
“No. Just let them guess.”
(This is why the school secretary loves me.)
