"oh mama.....I just feel horrible... I just can't go on...

I receive a call from the school today letting me know that Steven was in the office 6 times today with various ailments in an attempt to come home from school sick. His sick act didn't work with me this morning before school and to his dismay it did not work during school either, so he decided to give it one last try so he could get out of having to go to the office with me this afternoon. "oh mama....I just feel horrible...I just can't go on... I better just go home and stay in bed and play video games while you go to the office.

Little did Steven know I saw a student's parants carrying a large tray of cupcakes and a big box of Capri Sun juice into his class. I assumed that since he was soooo sick he wouldn't eat the cupcake and he would bring it out to me after school so I could enjoy it.............. I guess I was wrong.

Being the mom that I am, I did not let on that I knew he ate the cupcake and I let him go on and on and on and on and on during our drive to work. I then confirmed that he was soooo sick that he just couldn't enjoy his day or even eat the cupcake at the end of class, I told him I was very sorry his was sick then I ask that he go into the bathroom and wash up. Needless to say, he came out of the bathroom with a very clean face and a few excuses as to why his face was blue, none of which revealed that he ate the cupcake. AAHHHH parenthood :)
