Casper is enterprising

[flea]

mr. flea called me at the desk at 8:30, saying Casper told him she thought she had a fever and needed to stay home from school. He'd taken her temperature and it was 97.2 in the armpit (=99.2) and what should he do? I asked if she seemed sick and he said no. So I said to send her to school and if she felt sick at school she should talk to Mrs. B and ask to see the nurse.

At about 10 mr. flea got a call from the school nurse. Casper has reported her tummy wasn't feeling well. The nurse took her temp and it was normal. She seemed fine. The nurse sent her back to class. mr. flea just started laughing.

I tell you what, at 4 I was nowhere near this creative and daring.

Of course, fate being what it is, she will now develop pneumonia again to punish us for not believing her.
