Epic excuse

Farawyn · Feb 17, 2016

I have a group of students who are constantly trying to ditch P.E., one went as far as forging a poorly spelled note to todays gem. Today, a chronic offender whose GF is a physician sent a Rx that she can not participate for a few days because she shouldn't perspire. Handed it to me very proudly. Wanted to let her know the only indication I could think of for that would be perianal excoriation R/T diaper rash. I refrained.

You are a good man.

diaper rash due to a nice supply of bullcrap.

I read GF as girlfriend and was very, very, very confused. Then I figured grandfather. And it made a little more sense.

I swear, though, just run your laps and do your push-ups! Getting your blood flowing is a good thing!

I just called to confirm a note that a student brought in yesterday. Looked like Jr High girl handwriting and signed "Mr. XYZ" Dad called to confirm that he wanted her out d/t illness. I'm thinking that he may have asked her to write it if she asked while he was at work or getting ready to leave the house.

I'm impressed by your restraint!

She was the same one who went 5 days without a shower on the school trip. Fun times for the chaperones.

This is also the same person who gets constipated on said school trip.

BTDT.

I had a kid whose mom's physician boyfriend wrote an excuse for his Florida vacation (the week before spring break), citing Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Actually, now that I think about it...she had two kids who were afflicted.

Um, yeah. Can I get a note to get some time off work? I wouldn't mind a vacation somewhere tropical, warm, and sunny.

True story: My dad was a single father of five girls back in the early 70s (practically unheard of then).

During my senior year, I was assigned 1st year French as my last period class on account of my Latin teacher had passed away during the previous summer. After three years of Latin, French was astoundingly boring and easy. Therefore, every Friday I wrote the following note:

"Please excuse MeanMaryJean at 2pm as she has an orthodontist appointment. Signed, MMJs Dad"

Thirty six weeks straight I walked out an hour and a half early. Got an A as well.

No one ever questioned the fact that I did not have braces.
