When I was teaching 3rd grade I had boys who were first cousins in my classroom. One of them had migraines and sometimes missed school for a day or part of a day because of a headache.
He was absent for about 3 or 4 days in the spring and to be absent so many days in a row was unusual.
After taking roll I said to his cousin, "My goodness, 'Little Johnny' must REALLY be sick!!"
"He sure is, cous said, he had to sit down A LOT at baseball practice yesterday.
Cousin didn't understand why I laughed so hard.
Too sick for school, not too sick to practice baseball!!!
