20. I’m Staying Home from School Todayby Kenn Nesbitt I’m staying home from school today.I’d rather be in bed,pretending that I have a painthat’s pounding in my head.I’ll say I have a stomachache.I’ll claim I’ve got the flu.I’ll shiver like I’m coldand hold my breath until I’m blue. I’ll fake a cough. I’ll fake a sneeze.I’ll say my throat is sore.If necessary, I can throwa tantrum on the floor.I’m sure I’ll get away with it.Of that, there’s little doubt.But even so, I really hopemy students don’t find out.

A little thing I learned in schoolconvinced me I am right:My parents are supposed to meetmy principal tonight.
