The most beautiful words I'll never hear again:
"Well, play hookey with me! I'll call you in sick!"
Now, of course, you want to hear the whole story, right? I thought so.
So my mum has off from work this week, and she automatically assumed that I had off from school too. Bad assumption to make. I woke up at 7.30 this morning, went "oh. it's 7.30, it must be sunday, sleep more." but it bothered me so I rolled back over, and glared at the clock some more before i went. 'it's only freakin 7.30! what the crap?' and then I realized. "holy crap! it's 7.30!" So i roll out of bed as fast as i can, trip on my blankets and fall on the floor, scaring the crap out of my dog, get up, race into the kitchen where my mum is having her morning coffee.
mum: "Morning dear, you're up early."
me: "mum! it's seven thirty!!!"
mum: blinks. "I know! you're up early for your day off."
me: But no. mum you don't understand. it's 7.30!"
mum: I know, you're up early!"
me: "no. Mum. it's 7.30! I have to be at school in five minutes!"
mum: oh really? well, i was going to do some baking all day, why don't you play hookey and help me? I'll call you in sick!"
sweatdrop why do I feel like the adult here? and why did I decline?
