"My eye itches and i was sick on the weekend"... it's allergy season and Thursday... these things are not related. Why do they always think that "I was sick (days / weeks/ months ago)" is somehow a compelling argument?

And mom will take this one to urgent care, on a Friday night a few minutes before we close!

Any story that starts with "Well, you see this is what happened.........." will more than likely end up being a C'mon Now!!

"well, you see 2 weeks ago Sunday I was at my friend's sister's next door neighbor's house and my friend was looking at me and then we decided to get ice cream and after my mom called me then I had to go home and my mom made me mac and cheese. And then 3 days ago in gym, I fell and it hurt my ankle and now I have this papercut my teacher said I need some Neosporin for."

Kids comes in to my office on crutches. Asks for his prn motrin. As I give it, I ask for, and get, the story of his skateboard accident. Not noticing a cast I ask "what did the dr. say...bad sprain?" Kid: "oh, mom didn't take me to the dr. yet". Me:...... "Where did you get the crutches??" Kid: "they're my brothers".... :banghead:

And mom will bring him in on the weekend at 4:45pm for an X-ray. We close at 5pm. Not happening. Going to ER

Mom is pissed because the doctor's note for her daughter to have accommodations (leaving class FIVE minutes early, using elevator, ect) for an unspecified knee condition has expired. Student is often lingering in hallway, running when she thinks no one is looking, and at least once wore her brace on the opposite knee. She is super disrespectful to staff when asked any questions about it.

So mom is cursing at me on the phone and hanging up on me when I tell her that I have not received a new note from the dr office... C'mon now!!

Parents hanging up on me used to really tick me off. Now i just think 2 things. #1 - now i know why their precious little darlings are so darned rude. Good luck succeeding in this world with that dose of vinegar ingrained in you and #2 - you hang up on me i consider the matter closed. I will even send a letter home to that effect if necessary eloquently stating that point that per our discussion which was abruptly ended, yada yada... vaccines due by or exclusion or whatever...

My morning has started with me actually saying "I promise, you cannot puke up brains. Promise."

This after a kid said his vomit was brain colored.

Oh, and I just counted...my school has completed 616 accident reports. (About 470 student school) And we haven't even had field day. :sarcastic:

C'mon now! There is a special filing cabinet in hell for accident reports.
