I really enjoy some of my parents. This exchange just makes me giggle..
Me: Hello, is this Mrs. Darling?
Mom: Yes.
Me: I need you to come pick up Little Darling, he is running a fever.
(History with this student he has major allergies and will get sick easy.)
Me: Boy, when he gets sick he does it well.
Mom: Yes, he is the best sick kid I know.
We both laughed.
Shortly after this exchange had a separate student come in after she injured her finger by smashing it with a hammer. She said my dad always says "You gotta be tough if you are going to be stupid."
