Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again:
My kid is going to make it oh-so-big in show business.
She was faking all of it. She's not dizzy or weak. The timing was perfect. If she would have waited until today, we would have been a little more suspicious. As it was, we were considering the possibility that she was hamming it up.
The doctor gave her a strict treatment.
Word for word:
IF "DIZZY, WEAK, NUMB" NEEDS COMPLETE BEDREST, QUIET, NO VIDEO GAMES, BOOKS, MUSIC, TRAVELING.
IF SYMPTOMS DO NOT RESOLVE WITH DISCUSSED "TREATMENTS", FOLLOW UP WITH PCP.
The quotation marks are the doctor's.
The doctor is trying to bore her back to health. *laugh* Except for school. Doc says she's allowed to go to school, and read there.
The stubborn child hasn't given in yet. We upped it a bit. We told her if she still has symptoms tomorrow, she is staying home. See, with my kid, you have to strike fast. If we send her to school while she is still 'dizzy', then she will play it up for her little friends. The Little Diva loves her attention!
However, if we make her stay home, and the symptoms suddenly, miraclously clear up, she can't do it at school. HA!
She has the night to mull it over. Most likely, she will be home tomorrow, in bed, in the dark, unable to read, play, use her Gameboy, etc. Just lie there in the quiet dark. What fun!
Yep. Show business is her calling.

Funny. Poor little diva doesn't realize that she's being outplayed.
I love to check out blogs..not brave enough to start one...I find yours very difficult to read...GiGi
Binsk - No, and she won't until the timing is perfect. We need to go for shock value here. We're probably going to wait until she wants to go to the hospital again -- or something. Let her feel proud of her accomplishment. For now. :D
Cricket - I aim to please!
GiGi - Do you mean the way I write, or you couldn't see the words? I've been playing with my template lately.
Venus - Yeah , no shit. Exactly like Bueller! *laugh*
