Gee, Thanks
We’ve all faked being sick as children to avoid going to school. Can you honestly say that you’ve never, not even once, faked being sick to miss school? That’s just a typical aspect of childhood. School is no fun for any kid, and some days are too difficult to bear, forcing them to stay home rather than face it all.
Do adults make the same mistakes as children? Some people may fake being unwell to avoid social obligations and jobs. It works best if you genuinely appear sick, with pallor and weariness on your face. Hearing “yeah, you really look terrible,” with the implication that you’ll recover soon, might be somewhat hurtful; but at least it got you out of going to work!
