When my mom thought we were faking, she'd call our bluff and let us stay home, but we had to stay in bed all day, we couldn't play outside, no TV, etc. If we were genuinely sick, we wouldn't protest (because when you're really sick you just want to lay in bed), but if we were faking, that took away the incentive.

Not this. Dc is looking for a connection. It’s the first week back after a long break, understandable.
