So, I got a call Friday morning around 9:30 (school starts at 7:45) that Max was in the school office not feeling well. I asked the nurse what was wrong, and she said he just seemed out of sorts. She informed me that Max did NOT have a fever, and had not thrown up. I sat puzzled for a minute. Why were they calling me? Did they want me to come get him? I asked the nurse "Should I come get him?" The nurse seems surprised that I even asked. I assume this made me sound like a bad mom, but when I was growing up, if we didn't have a fever or were not throwing up, we didn't get picked up from school. The nurse did inform me that his teacher's assistant had said he was just sitting at his desk with his head down. This did make me think I should go get him, as Max hardly ever sits still, even when he is sick! I arrived at the office to see max sitting in a chair waiting for me. I asked him if he was okay. "Yes, mom, I am okay." "Did something happen that you don't want to talk about?" "No, mom everything is fine." So home we went. This is what ensued when we arrived there!

Looking back, I presume to think or dare I say...Max really just missed being home. He was a bit emotional all day. I have been reading a lot of parenting material lately, and have realized that Max often acts out or in this case, fakes sick, in order to force me to be with him. I didn't make a big deal about him being home, but I reminded him that telling a lie is NEVER okay. If he wanted to be with mommy that was GREAT, and I would love that , but he couldn't get out of school to do it. We presently made plans for a mommy/Max date, and he was so pleased. I admit my shock that he even thought to fake sick...HE IS 6!!!! Even I didn't try that until at least 8, and only to get out of tests I didn't study for!
