Being Expelled at School for being Sick

So picture this,

About 4th grade I think, me sitting in class.

I had some problems going on at home, but it's not like anyone noticed or cared 😐
(Guidance counselors didn't do shit)

But I acted out in class and got sent to the principal.
I ended up seeing her a lot. 4th grade was a bad year for me I guess, finally broke.

Anyways, she said I was expelled for two days, right?...
Follow along.

So I got sent home, my parents were mad.

Then I ended up getting sick, cause kids are always getting sick.
I spent those two days sick, I don't remember how sick I was or what it was.

So I got in trouble Monday, sick tues/wed, then went back to school on Thursday...

I needed up getting sent to the principal because she wanted to talk to me.

She said "Because you were sick, It didn't count."

Ahem...

Because I was a sick child, with some problems, it didn't count.

I got sent home, my mom had to pick me up and she went momma bear mode...

After some yelling and complaining we had to go, all of us were mad and confused.

I tried being nice to the principal but I hated her for that.
Yeah I got out of school, but I was already behind and then lost an entire week of school!

You wanna know the funny thing?

We found out that her husbands brother was the guy working for us, doing the lawn. (Except he was kinda...dumb?...)

[Ex: using the lawnmower over rocks, burning poison ivy, eta]

So yeah..... 😐

I got expelled for a week for being sick...
