__**How to make your parents think you are sick and will let you have the day off school!!**__

To get a day off school you need to make sure your parents actuary think you are telling the truth that you are sick or they will just send you to school. Make sure the day you want off not a day your mum and dad are working because their answer will be “ You have to go to school, I am working to day.”

When you get up in the morning, have a hot shower so that your body temperature is warmer than usual. When you have hopped out of the shower rub your eyes so that it looks like your eyes are all red. Put your P.Js back of and go and tell your mum or dad you don’t feel well. If you are a girl and don’t want to wake your mum and dad up by having a shower. Get you hair drier and wave the hot wind over your for head and rub your eyes. Snuggle back in your bed. Your parents will come in to see why you are taking so long. Tell them you do not feel well and that you have got a temperature. Hopefully your mum or dad will believe you and let you have the day of. Make sure the day you want off not a day your mum and dad are working because their answer will be “ You have to go to school, I am working to day.”

Good Luck.
