Dear Beloved Children,
Every week, it seems like at least one of you reaches out to ask for an early pickup from school. The excuses range from feeling unwell, minor discomforts, to just plain boredom. I’ve laid out what constitutes a valid reason for leaving school early, but there appears to be some confusion. So, I’ve penned this handy guide to clarify what will prompt me to hit the gas pedal. Pay close attention!
- Blood – We’re talking about a serious amount here—think gushing, not just a little drip. If a few Band-Aids can handle it, don’t even think about calling. You’d better be in dire straits, potentially requiring an ambulance. In that case, I’ll meet you at the ER.
- Major Cuts – This isn’t about a paper cut; I need to see something substantial. If you’ve been impaled by an object that’s still lodged in your body, then you can call me. Otherwise, if it’s just a pencil in your hand, you’re staying put.
- Vomiting – Only if you’re completely drenched in it or if you’ve made a scene in front of an adult. I’ve told you countless times to save that for home, and I know you haven’t mastered this skill at school. Any mere mention of nausea will not earn you a ride home.
- Headaches – The only way I’m picking you up for a headache is if your head is literally split in two or if there’s a nail stuck in your skull.
- Injuries – Don’t call me to complain about minor aches in your wrist, ankle, or any other body part. I will send a prayer your way, but that’s the extent of my involvement. If a bone is protruding through your skin, then we’ll talk.
- Earaches – Absolutely not.
- Forgotten Lunch – You’ll have to make do with whatever’s available at school. I’m not driving over to deliver your lunch (or anything else). Whether your dietary habits consist of pickles and broccoli or you’ve mistakenly left your boots at home, you’ll have to manage on your own.
- Stomach Aches – Forget it. The chances of me coming to get you for a tummy ache are as slim as me deciding to tackle an erupting volcano with a garden hose. If I can’t see a clear symptom (like a fever), you’re not getting a ride.
- Sore Throat – Nope. Grab some water and get back to class.
- Bug Bites – Unless you’ve ballooned up to five times your normal size, don’t bother calling about itchiness. I know you’re not allergic, so it’s time to toughen up. Mark the bite and move on.
See, while you’re at school, I’ve got my own busy schedule (a nap, social media, and some TV time), so there’s no room for me to entertain boredom. Enjoy your time at school, and I’ll see you at pickup—no sooner!
Love,
Mom
