It’s the last day before Spring Break kicked in at Nick’s school. Him and his friend, Chris were talking - plotting on how to get out of going to the last class of the day and start their vacation early (’cause that’s how they roll).
Nick: I really don’t want to go to period 9, but, dude - I’ve already had 2 cuts.
Chris: Two? One more and suspension.
Nick: Yeah, an in-school suspension. Mom’ll ground me for life! She was pretty pissed with that last letter from school.
Chris: Yeah, dude - that’d suck.
Nick: I’m gonna go see Mr. M (the school’s VP). He’s pretty chill. Eh, maybe not.
Nick: Peace.
Nick started walking to class, changed his mind and dropped by Mr. M’s office.
Nick: Hey Mr. M! I was just curious. What would happen if I didn’t go to period 9? (flashing his “Nick” smile)
Mr. M: As long as you don’t have 3 cuts in the same class, you’re safe. But I really don’t recommend you do that.
Nick: Well, in that case, I’ll just write up my own cut slip right now, and you can sign it!
Mr. M: I don’t think so. Go to class.
Nick left and went on to class.
During the middle of the 9th period, Mr. M walked into his classroom.
Mr. M: Sorry for the interruption, I just needed to check on something.
(He was checking to make sure Nick was there.)
Nick: (from the back of the room - flashing that charming little smirk of his): Yo!
Mr. M walked out satisfied that another letter would not be sent home. Nick was satisfied he didn’t get that 3rd cut; deciding to save it for later in the year - probably.
So as of now, the child is officially on vacation until the 14th. He’s already warned me his days will consist of:
- sleeping late,
- hanging out with his friends ’til all hours, and
- staying up night playing Halo.
The life of a teen. Ain’t it great?

Have you warned him of what his days will consist of during his break? Or did you decide to give him a day or so, before you snapped him into reality?
