How can you fake sick and not get caught?

Answer 1

The best way is to not go overboard with it, and remember exactly what you tell your parents so they don't outsmart you. For example, let's say you forget to do your homework and you realize it the morning right as school is going to start. So you wake up, and you trudge down all groggy to your mom or whoever and you grasp your throat. In a weak voice, say, "My throat hurts," and then mask it up with a cough.

When your mom asks something like "how long?" or "how much?" say something like, "It started around yesterday morning, early morning. I didn't tell you because it wasn't that bad then, so I thought it would go away. This morning it felt like it really hurt."

If it still doesn't work or your mom says something like, "you probably just need to drink some water," drink some water and then spit it out. When your mom says "why did you do that?" Start making a face like you're about to cry and say, "my throat hurts too much. I can't swallow."

So you get to stay home.

Now, the not getting caught part. Let's say your mom wants to take you to a doctor. What I would do is I would get a glass of water, pour some salt and pepper in, and drink it. The salty/spicy peppery taste should get your throat feeling kind of funny. If the doctor says there is nothing wrong with you, explain how it hurts way down, kind of at the end of your neck. The doctor will say something like, "It's probably a little cold, no more." Congrats!
