The highlight of my day...

J. comes back from lunch, looking pale.
J: Miss Chen, I need to go HOME!!
Me: J, are you sick?
J: My head hurts so bad, my stomach hurts, everything hurts, Miss!
Me: Do you want me to write you a pass to the nurse?
J, after a pause: But are we doing work?
Me: We're going to continue reading the story and then I'm going to talk about character.
J: But then I'm going to miss it! Imma gonna stay. But Miss, can you write me a pass for after your class?
