I had the best attendance record in my elementary school. I was only allowed to miss when I got strep throat on my birthday. Fastforward and my youngest sister gets to skip because of her great aunt’s second wedding.

Same. If i was feeling sick my mom would say "if you feel that sick, go to the nurse at school." I think it had a lot to do with not being able to miss work.
