One of the local radio stations got a call from a mom who's kid skipped school yesterday. He probably would have gotten away with it if the school didn't call his mom and asked why she wrote :
My child was absent from school today because he had cat scratch fever.
beh derh derowww cat scratch feverrr derh derh derh derowwww.
These people around here kill me sometimes. Keeps me amused though.

Thanks Picky. I need to hire you as a PR person before I hurt someones feelings. lol. I learn something new every day. Still think it's funny though. I could just see some kid trying that.
Hahaha! That's hilarious!
Better one:
Tommy can't come to school today, because he is sick.
Signed, my mom.
My husband is a teacher. He loves some of the excuses he gets sometimes.
One of his more amusing students told him that he was excused from school for months because his parents gave him a vacation as a birthday present. Kicker is, it turned out to be TRUE.
My brother used to skip school by accidentaly on purpose missing the bus. Kicker- he forced me to skip, too because it would look more real if we BOTH missed the bus. I was the nerd that liked school because all my friends were there.
Ha ha! I have a scar on my neck that I've had since a surgery in second grade. Everyone confuses it for a hickey, and they never believe me when I have to admit that it's from having cat scratch fever. It is true; I've had it. What a riot. I can only imagine what my second grade teacher thought. "Please excuse Triana from a week of school for having Cat Scratch Fever". The irony - the doctors actually thought I had cancer & were happy that it was really cat scratch fever. Excuse me now, I feel like I need to go dance. This annoying song keeps playing through my head....
Ohmuhgoodness - I had cat scratch as a child, and still have the scar from the surgery on my neck.
Every time I tell someone I had it, they start singing that song.
Oh, well...
