Things not to say to one's 8-year-old son:
"I'm gonna have to see some actual vomit for you to stay home from school today."
Just trust me on this one.

Sounds like he either immediately complied and threw up everywhere or you got a call from school to come fetch him.
Hope boy feels better soon.
Oh no!
I hope it was the former. Sending a kid to school thinking he'll be fine, only to get that phone call an hour later is the WORST!
Hope he feels better soon!
My kids could produce any number of "symptoms" on demand - vomit was never one of them THANK GOD.
Ew.
I feel like I can see where this is going...
I can see where that would be a poor choice of words...
That challenge reminds me of something I once heard at a fraternity party.
Ouch.
Oh.
Oh, MadMad.
Oh.
Hope he feels better soon. And you, too.
Hopefully he made it to the bathroom before producing the required evidence.
Hope your son feels better soon!
And you don't catch it in the process..
Lucky you!
i've had fake coughs and bum legs, as in hobbling around pretending not to be able to walk, but no vomit, thank God. hope he feels better and you don't get it!
Oh my you poor thing! I'll definitely remember this when choosing my words in the future! Lol :)
I hope he got it in the bucket.
Lets see now, those hard wood floors of yours have the vomit-catching cracks don't they? Seem to recall your having to deep clean those before...
i just read this out loud to Sean. We both agreed there is no telling the horror that may have followed that moment!
Oh...My!!
We get what we ask for. We just need to stop asking for what we want..or don't want!!
:)
heh! Glad I've learnt that lesson from you, rather than from personal experience!! Consider that your civic duty done for the year, I think!!
oh no. i am SO sorry.
i have said that a few times.
i think i'll stop while i'm ahead!
Great tip!
Oh, that's too funny. But did you actually see him vomit? Because I had a friend in elementary school who would just chew up crackers and then spit them out. You might want to double check.
Shoe shopping? Rug shopping? Just trying to find that silver lining...
That kind of reminds me the time I told my precocious 4 year old to spit out his gum before going to bed. Why? Because it might get all stuck in your hair. Yeah, great, give the kid ideas why don't I? After bed time I went in to check on him and he had gum ALL over his hair. Sigh. And the fart hadn't even fell ASLEEP yet!
Barfing is pretty much the marker in our house too ;)
