The Story:
When I was a kid, I pretended to have a stomachache so my grandma would let me stay home. I’m not a good liar, so she decided to test me. She said if I was too sick for school, she would make a doctor’s appointment. Three hours later, I was rushed to the ER for emergency surgery. My fake sickness turned out to be real—it was appendicitis, and it was so bad that if I hadn’t gone to the hospital that day, my appendix would have burst. I felt completely fine that day, so pretending to be sick actually saved my life.
