I have a feeling that I am not only the one good at faking sickness. I used to be a sick boy when I was quite young and that taught me some thing. Now I am good at faking sickness whenever I need a days off from work. I fake it so well the next day that people do believe me. So what about you. Are you good or losy at faking sickness, or just a very straight guy never to fake sickness.

I think that is very silly, why fake and say you are sick when you are not. There are so many people in this world who are relly sick, wishing that they were well, and you would fake being sick just to get out of a day's work. Why, put that on yourself. If you are going to lie, why put the lie on yourself like that. There are other things you can say, like telling the truth, "I won't be in to work today", that's it, case closed. I would never say that I am sick, when I am not, or say someone else is sick as an excuse for anything.

When I was in elementary school, I would always, "be sick." Mother would take me to the doctors office at least every two weeks. It came to be that they knew me by name and would greet me as I walked into the door. I still pretended when I was in middle school, but not as often. I worked in the library then, and felt a sense of responsibility. By High School, I mostly stopped. I still did about once or twice a year. Usually that was when I got so fed up with something that I needed to go home to cool off. Now that I am in college, I don't think that I will pretend to be sick anymore.

when i was in grade school i used to pretend that i'm sick so that i can't go to school, maybe i'm so good in faking it that's why my mother believed that i was really sick. those were the days.
