When I was growing up my parents made sure that staying home sick was not a fun time. I think this is a good idea because it makes you more likely to go to school, especially on a Friday. I have been thinking about this because one of my friends is sick and I have been telling him all the things he is not allowed to do. Here are the rules:
1. No Fun
2. No Phone (the internet and computer in general was not really a draw in the mid-90's)
3. No Friends
4. No going out
5. No solid foods (but ice cream was allowed, and one of the few times I was allowed to eat it)
As much as I hated this when I was a kid, it was a great idea of my parents to impose these rules on me. I mean, let's be honest, I never would have gone to school if it was fun to stay home. I will probably do the same thing if I ever have the childrens.
On another note, Stacey called Nathan a sensitive Nancy this last weekend. It really made my day. He is always saying that he is a delicate flower so that I won't mess with him. Well, now.
I am going to go shopping this weekend!
