Everyone has a bad day once in a while and wants to stay home. I remember that as a child I always wanted just one day to sit around at be lazy during the summer instead of doing what my mom wanted me to. Being the person that I am, I obliged my mother and sat outside in the sun to get some fresh air. After a while I went inside complaining about feeling sick. My mother took my temperature, which i knew would be high. By sitting out in the sun I gave myself a temporary fever and got out of a day's work.
There were other times where i felt sick at night and didn't want to go to school in the morning. When I would wake up in the morning I would feel sick when I really wasn't. It was really just my brain telling my mind that I was sick, which provided me a day off of school. So I'm thinking that this is just another of the mind's tricks that secretly grant our wishes.

Well, I haven't faked being sick for school yet, but I have only been going to public school for a couple years. I do remember though when I was little that I had said I didn't feel good to skip something like a meal that I didn't like or church. There are days during the school year when I wake up and feel sick too, but really after being up for a little while I feel fine.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that the mind may have something to do with it I mean I have skipped school for being sick multiple times. I suffer from chronic headaches and Scoliosis so there is never a time of the day that I feel good. I am always in pain. Because I am always in pain I believe that my mind likes to tell me I am sick. When really it is just my normal things that are wrong.
