[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 401827, member: 1514"] My kids didnt do this much. Cory did do this a few times to attempt to get out of school but I nipped it in the bud by making him think he really was sick and apparently dying. I gave him the most obnoxious OTC medications available to make him have diarrhea and the runs. I used ipecac and some of that lemon lime magnesium drink plus something we have down here called black draught I think its called. Anyway, he was throwing up and having the runs quite badly. I also held a thermometer under a light bulb for a few seconds to get it warmed up and then took his temp and clucked a bit showing him his temp was so high...lol. I made a big fuss about how the school kept calling me saying how all these kids at school were so sick and some were even dying from this mysterious illness. The CDC was being called in. I really over played. I made him stay on the couch where I could watch him. Covered him in blankets...fed him ice chips, worried over him, kept giving him the lemon lime "soda". I asked him if he wanted family called in before he really fell ill and died. LOL. Before long he confessed he had made up that at first he was faking feeling so ill..."but mom, now I really do feel sick! Do you think I really did catch it?" I told him...GOTCHA! [/QUOTE]
