I was master at faking sick (but it was the best when I was old enough that my mom would still go to work and I could hang out by myself!)

Also, I totally agree with the soup thing. I was sick on tuesday and even though it's summer and 30*C the ONLY thing I wanted was soup.

stealthnerd - I agree! I would love to be 7 again. I want to be taken care of.

Tom - I agree! They're not nearly as fun.

dmb5_libra - YES! Oh the cartoons...

Phoebe - Oh no! Reading is alright and all, but it totally kills the excitement of a sick day.

Herding - Yeah, it is sad when you realize that!

rs27 - I DARE you to. Now. Go.

Lily - It cures colds. It really does.

Classy - Ramen is good, but doesn't cure colds.

Colure - Really? Go figure!

Kyle - NO! I must try this garlic recipe you speak of.

Katelin - Exactly!

Hahaha...I love that everyone has his or her own sick-day routine when it comes to both "earning" and "execution." :) My illness of choice was always strep throat, as it was fairly easy to fake (or at least blow out of proportion, if it was genuine), but I, too, did enjoy the fabulous daytime Nickelodeon programming on such days.

Werd on the chicken soup! Really wish I had been around to buy stock in THAT in its early days...sheesh. Have you ever tried it with shavings of a clove of garlic shaved in it? Its revitalizing effects are untold.

Hope you're feeling better by the time you read this!

You know, medical studies have actually proven that chicken soup helps you get better when you're sick! Isn't that cool? :D

I'm so happy I'm not a vegetarian anymore if only because I can now enjoy chicken soup again when I'm sick ;)

OH OH OH also! Speaking of soups, I discovered yesterday that CRISPERS in Winter Park Village has BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP on their menu!!! We must go! Attack!!

Mmmm...chicken noodle soup. I was sick the other day (ugh!) and made the mistake of eating Ramen and not chicken noodle! Horrible decision!

I had a can of chicken and stars soup yesterday for lunch since I hadn't been feeling well since the day before. I know EXACTLY what you mean.

I could probably drink ginger ale every second of the day.

don't test me.

I agree with the comment about sick days being sooo much better when you are younger. When I got the flu about a month ago, all I wanted was my mother and chicken noodle soup - hers only. Why? Because I had been conditioned that way. It was depressing when I realized: it's just me, Campbell's, and a bottle of cough syrup baby!

2009-02-17T18:04:00.000-05:00

I am way jealous of you! To prevent false sick days, my mom wouldn't let me watch TV if I stayed home from school! So my sick days were always spent in my bed, reading a book...which is a little harder to enjoy than the television when all your sick body wants is to veg out.

2009-02-17T16:21:00.000-05:00

man those days were the best! i remember my much older sister had a tv in her room, so when i got sick, my mom would put her tv in my room so i could OD on cartoons all day.

2009-02-17T14:47:00.000-05:00

Sick days are something that are so different from when you're a kid to when you're an adult. They just aren't the same when you get older, haha.

I remember the first time that stayed home sick and drove myself to the store to get cold medicine. That really told me "OK, you're not a little kid anymore."

2009-02-17T14:25:00.000-05:00

Elementary school sick days were the best. Getting to hang out at home, spending the day on the couch, in pajamas and eating all the soup and Jello you could handle? I wish I was 7 years old with a cold right about now!
