I work in an elementary school health office and I swear I hear the *funniest* things come out of kids mouths when they are faking an illness or injury.
For example...
The first day of a cold snap, an especially dramatic 3rd-grader came into my office after recess asking for and icepack for his frostbite. He claimed it was so cold outside that he got frostbite on his fingers and, apparently, the remedy for frostbite is an icepack.
Yesterday a 4th grade boy got a knock on the head while playing football. He totally milked it for all it was worth and when we sent him to lunch, he was less than thrilled. I peeked into the lunchroom to see how he was doing and I saw him tracking his own finger with his eyes. You know, when a doctor holds his finger in front of your face and you follow it with you eyes? He was doing that to himself!
And finally, just this morning a 3rd grade boy came into my office complaining of getting elbowed in the gut accidentally by another student. He told the office secretary that he got elbowed in his "arteries" and that he needed to see the school nurse. :blink:
I swear these kids are gonna be the death of me. LOL
