Warning: Marker Is Contagious

There’s nothing more classic than a case of the Not Wanting To Go To Schools. But when it’s a permanent-marker-weilding 5-year-old and he’s in 4k, your reason for concern is valid.

Insert Conner, a red sharpie and some degree of me not paying attention to his quietness. I begin to search with him after a certain amount of sanity (which = him being quiet), when I stumbled upon something spotted. Something that looked like this:

Red was a smart choice considering his goal…Yeah.

So I inquire, naturally, why on earth he would put red dots all over his body. “I have chicken pots”, he replies. Then, he asks if I will check his “feber”. Surprisingly, he had no “febers”.

Something tells me this won’t work in high school either. 

Edited to Add: I should have likely noted he did this to his brother too. Defendant’s case? “I wanted us to stay home from my school and go to the new school together”. Case dismissed!
