A mopey looking student came in today saying he wanted to rest. I asked if he had a headache and he explained the real reason he was here to see me: "I'm exhausted, I stayed up all night playing video games." He agreed that was probably not the wisest idea, and I told him he could take a quick snooze on the cot.
Soon enough, he stood up and confessed something else: "I told my teacher I was going to the bathroom, I have to go back to class or I'm going to get in trouble."
Some poor decision-making there, but the kid was so cutely weighed down with guilt I didn't have the heart to make things worse for him.
