The Excuse

Hayden was sick from school for two days. It's funny because, although I spent years forging absentee notes from my parents when I skipped school, now that I have to make an 'official' note... I don't know what to write!



This is what I have so far. For some reason I always want to make jokes on these kind of things... I guess it's the Arnold in me. Unfortunately Hayden's teacher, like most of San Antonio, does not understand sarcasm. This is the reason I get all those funny looks when I pick up Hayden. I can hear them when the whisper to each other "That guy thinks we're all really, really smart! He called me a genius yesterday!" Yeah... feel my pain.

Notes from parents are a constant source of humor for teachers! You did good. My favorite is when people would get all into the symptoms like you care..."Dear Mrs. Arnold, Jimmy had yellow in his diarrhea yesterday so I took him to the doctor and after many tests it was determined that he ate a lego...so if he looks a little uncomfortable today..." Yeah, good times.

kinda funny-
I was writing my resume today and was looking at an old one I wrote in highschool- for whatever reason I had my transcript from highschool in the same folder- and on it was listed all the days i missed for each quarter- it was funny- I started out ok at like 12 the first quarter- then it got to be 19- and then 20 something days in the last quarter-
I guess my teachers must have thought I swallowed a yellow lego too...
