As strange as it sounds....... those were some good memories for me!

I remember my mother calling the school and saying "I'm so sorry, he's sick, and won't be coming to school today," those little words made me feel a whole lot better than any medicine let me tell ya.
Then she'd make me lie down on the couch, turn on the TV and let me watch game shows all morning, and nothing was finer than having a day off from school, watching Bob Barker on The Price Is Right. Oh man...that was bliss. Then follow that up with some chicken soup, some magazines and a few cross word puzzles and you had the makings of a perfect stay at home sick day.

I remember, when I got older, that I'd stay home sick and then watch The Stand....call me twisted, but that's what I did all through high school. I don't really remember staying home sick much as a kid other than that, but I did get a kick out of watching that movie while I was sick later on!

Cartoons in the a.m., Creature Features (old horror flix) in the p.m., laying on the sofa watching t.v. because the front room had the only television in the house. Watching Dark Shadows so I could tell everyone what happened the next day at school & the other kids would be SO jealous. Getting grilled cheese sandwich & tomato soup - to this day my comfort food when sick.

I remember I wasn't allowed to have any fun and was told to stay in bed until my fever came down or whatever. Back then there were no TV's in a child's room generally or computers and so forth. It was worse than school was actually. I virtually never missed for being sick until high school when I just missed for being bad instead of actually being sick.

I remember how much I wanted to go to school instead. I liked school and hated to stay home sick. My mother always gave me soup, crackers and 7-up.
Sounds like you had a loving, nurturing mom who took care of you when you were sick ......it makes me feel happy to know that. That's a good thing....life should be that way.

What I remember most about staying home sick from school a few years back was the fact that I was never really sick.
I faked it all the time.
I don't do that anymore though.
Now I just skip school

When we missed school being sick, we were not allowed out of bed except to use the bathroom, even meal time my mom brough our meal to the bedroom, we could not speak on the phone or have company, we could not go outside or anything, so if you were not really sick you sure did not want to stay home. One time my dad caught me reading a love story and he got so mad, he said if you can read love stories you can go to school so at lunch he made me go to school!!!!!!!

Ohhh....good days.
Being taken to my gran's house, and forced to lie on a couch all day, wrapped in soft Welsh wool blankets, with a roaring coal fire that I didn't have to build or light, being fed home-made macaroni soup and watching daytime TV, which, yes, was crap, but it was better than long division any day of the week :o)

Wondering what I missed at school and laying on the couch watching t.v. That was the only time when I was a kid that Dad didn't make me move.
