what's one really stupid thing you did when you were younger? i tried to skip school in eighth grade by calling in and pretending to be my mom. it worked. i tried to do it again two days later, guess what, it did not work a second time. my mom came over to my aunts house where we were pretending i lived at the time in order to go to school in her area after a big debacle at my former middle school, and couldn't get into the house so i hid and acted like i wasn't there then waited for her to drive off and i walked to school. i ended up getting out of it with some big bullshit lie about missing the bus and getting scared and calling the school.
