Steal my friend’s Dad’s1958 Ferrari 250 Spyder, take the friend and girlfriend to Chicago, eat lunch at a snooty restaurant, go to the top of the Sears Tower, watch a Cubs game, go to an art museum, destroy the Ferrari, and be home in time for dinner.
@brennyn I mean they knew about the 10 inch BW and us hooking up the NES in our room eventually. For all I know that was allowed cause dad wanted the living room. I hear he used to stay up late trying to beat frogger when we weren’t using the Atari
When I was home sick from School or Work… Trust me I was Sick… many time “worshiping Ralph, the porcelain god” My head was NOT made to be where my Butt sits.
@mycya4me If i could manage to stay out of the bathroom long enough, i always found a lined bucket to be a much less unpleasant & less uncomfortable receptacle. Being on the hard floor wasn’t any fun, especially when sick.
Definitely video games. Here were the consoles that I owned as a child, in approximate chronological order: Intellivision, NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, Sega CD, Nintendo Game Boy, Sega Game Gear, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast came out in 1999 and that was the year I graduated high school. After that just fill in the blanks with every Nintendo console that came out during adulthood. I’ve always been a Nintendo geek at heart. Mario and Zelda(amongst so many other Nintendo exclusive titles) 'til I die!
Lie in bed, read, and watch terrible TV, at least till I was 12 or so. After that, I didn’t take sick days so much as cutting school days. And those were for all sorts of misbehavior.
Watch eight straight hours of TV???
Not during the daytime.
We only had 3 lousy channels back then, instead of the
399 lousy ones of today.
I only had the TV on when I needed some help getting to sleep.
I didn’t forget to spay and neuter my pets.
@show_the_maw Come on down!!

Play video games! Yes, I had those when I was a kid/teen. Usually Super Mario World or MarioKart 64.
Read lots and lots of books.

@earl_danger I feel like I’ve heard this story before…

Play SNES on the portable TV my parents didn’t know I had in my room because I found it dumpster diving.

I would say watch cartoons, but we were never home sick. Or had snow days.

Drink massive amounts of coffee and strong tea, watch horror movies and light things on fire.
@edguyver14 That last one has me wondering LOL
Sleep in, play video games, watch TV and depending on the time of year go swimming
@tinamarie1974
Swimming when sick?
@Kyeh sick or “sick”
@tinamarie1974
But your mom let you?
@Kyeh yeah, but I really didnt abuse it. Maybe two or three times a school year. It was great!!
@tinamarie1974 Nice! I had a coworker who’d take sick days when, in her words, “going to work would make me sick today.”
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 Oh man, if that was allowed, I would’ve missed almost the entire last year before I finally quit my job (for exactly that reason).
Stayed home sleeping and swallowing spiders.
@OnionSoup That spider is like, “Man, he sure does hold a grudge!”
Usually alternated between watching bad TV & reading fun books, like Stephen King & Judy Blume, or doing both at the same time.

Get some work done, like any other normal post-school day.

Read. Sleep. Eat, if I could.
