Did you ever mitch from school as a child?

Yup. At my high school, if you were in your last year you could get three days off during the semester to visit universities. So one day my friend called in and acted like she was her mom and said a group of us were going to visit a university (we had done this with our parents a few weeks before). So we went to my friend's house in the suburbs...and arrived just in time to see her mom getting into the car to go to work.

Her response?

"I'm two hours late for work. I didn't see you if you didn't see me".

We spent the rest of the day watching old Richard Pryor videos and eating Cheetos.

Her mom was really cool.

I did - yeah. I mitched so much during 5th year (I thought i was in love...) that i was put on attendance report for the entire year of 6th year. Every morning, I used to have to go say "morning" to the principal. That was grand though, because I'd duck out at little break not a bother to me.

Didn't go to French for the last 2 years of secondary school,it was last class every day so just went home.one of the lads in the class told the teacher I switched to german and me ma just thought I finished at that time,still scraped a pass in the leaving:)
