I assume what isn't standard is missing one day per week, 52 weeks per year, b/c your kid is 'sick'.
It's standard at my office, however. Maybe the kid has AIDS, idk ---> Drives me INSANE. Where I come from (country club lane), unless you are puking or running a hundo+, you're going to school. And if you miss school, go ahead and forget attending any games, practices, events, friends, etc for the entire week, miraculous recovery be damned.
-Speedway could have FREE mulch, and I wouldn't notice. Worth a 10 mile drive to find a Thornton's instead, although that's never the case around here.
What's KMart got going currently, Brooks?
