Why is it

that kids always seem to think lying will make things better? and of all days - JEEZZZ
Jenna and I dropped Laura off at school this morning, came home and started stripping the beds, making a cake and cleaning the house. Mom and dad are due this afternoon for a visit so I have lots to do before they come. In the middle of the beds, I receive a call from Laura's school, she's sick. Funny, didn't seem sick this morning when I took her to school... but thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Brought her home, she seemed tired and said her stomach hurt. She asked for a few crackers and I didn't see any harm in that. Well, within 10 minutes she was looking fine, said she felt fine, you know the drill...
About an hour later, still feeling fine, I asked her to explain herself. She told me she "just wanted a day off" - WHAT???? Since when is that ok? Needless to say, the little lady is not getting off easy and I don't think this behaviour will ever happen again.
