Sick

When I was in the 3rd grade I woke up one morning feeling peaked. I told my Mom I was sick who in turned took my temp...normal, asked me if I had a belly ache...no and promptly told me to get dressed and go to school. Once at school I continued to not feel well and told the teacher. I was sent to the nurse who called my Mom to come pick me up. My Mom arrived and was FURIOUS. She brought me home and told me to go to room and lay down that there would be no couch, no TV, no snacks. I went upstairs and started feeling quiet miserable about my current predicament. While my Mom was vacuuming the house I put my clothes back on and walked back to school...without telling my Mom. When I returned to school my teacher was a it shocked. She asked me if my Mom had brought me back and I said no that I had walked back. She took me to the principals office who in turned phoned my Mom. My Mom was shocked because A. she did not even know I was missing and B. had NO idea I knew how to walk to school from our house. I returned to my class and continued for the rest of the day. When school was over and my Mom picked us all up from school she asked me how I knew how to get to school? I told her I just walked the same way she drove us!
