The Thing About That Sick Day

Today I got Boylee's 2nd trimester progress report, and it showed zero absences. Huh. So I guess he still has perfect attendance. Now what if they try to give him a perfect attendance award at the end of the year? Do I fess up?

The day Boylee was sick, we were chatting with one of our favorite clerks at Trader Joe's and we told her about the perfect attendance thing. She told us her daughter had perfect attendance all the way through 9th grade when she finally got sick on a school day. That was probably way, way more heartbreaking than our little kindergarten-first grade span.

There was a child in the news a few years ago who'd never been absent K-12!
I vote to 'fess up. Face the little disappointments, honesty the best policy...all that kinda stuff.
Sorry, Boylee.
