Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.
C'mon now!
Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.
C'mon now!
The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.
All together: C'mon now!!
Some things just make me shake my head.

I asked her when the last time she went poop was..."Two years ago."Welp, that explains the stomachache! Called her mom, she told mom that she could only stay half of the day. When mom and I agreed that she could return, she started crying and grabbing her stomach. C'mon now, kid. I wasn't born yesterday.
I've been getting the stomachache business all week. Yesterday my hypochondriac 2nd grader comes in with, "my stomach feels bad when I sit down and TERRIBLE when I stand up."

Send back to class with note stating student must stand on head. I bet that stomachache disappears real quick.

Kid: (big smile) "No."
Me: Checks temp, 100.7 "Well, it worked!"
Hey maybe word will spread and you'll get a bunch of Hershey Kisses from frequent flyers!
I just had to call a mom a frequent flier.
"Are you beautiful or something? I know he just comes in there to stare at you. You all are going to have to get an uglier nurse!"
Well...thanks? (I by no means consider myself beautiful, but maybe we can talk to kiddo about not abusing the system and to stop faking it!)
