  • There are some things in life you'd rather not do.

  • Like homework.

  • How on earth can I get out of this?

  • But believe it or not, getting yourself out of a jam is a lot easier than you think.

  • Hey, is that lipstick?

  • With just a few quick moves, you can completely change your fate!

  • Don't forget to rub it in, Jennifer!

  • You don't look so good.

  • Are you coming down with something?

  • Just a case of I-don't-wanna-go-to-school-itus!

  • Ah, it's a beautiful day today, isn't it?

  • Yikes! What the heck is going on your face, Kate?

  • Man, that thing's gnarly!

  • Look at them all laughing at me!

  • What, you guys have never seen a pimple before?

  • What's so funny, huh?

  • That's it, I'm going into hiding for good!

  • Nope, going to school is definitely not happening!

  • But how am I going to convince my mom to let me stay home?

  • Faking sick ought to do it, right?

  • You got the sniffles, Kate?

  • Then we should take your temperature to make sure you don't have the flu.

  • But I don't have a fever!

  • How can I make this thing go up a few degrees?

  • That's right, Mom, keep on moving.

  • Oh no, Kate! She's coming back in!

  • Yep, she's doing the old blow-dryer trick!

  • It's still not hot enough!

  • C'mon, this has got to work!

  • Still not high enough.

  • You've got to have fire-breathing dragon breath to heat that thing up, Kate.

  • Looks like you and that zit are going to class today, Kate.

  • Hey, my mom left her hot cup of coffee!

  • If I drop the thermometer in there it'll heat up for sure!

  • Yes! That's it!

  • Yikes! She got caught red-handed!

  • You're in big trouble, missy!

  • No! Anything but school!

  • Rise and shine, Jennifer, time to get ready for school.

  • What time is it anyway?

  • Six o'clock?

  • NO! It's already nine!

  • Oh man, I've just covered my eyes for a sec!

  • On test day!

  • Quick, grab your stuff and run to the bus, we gotta get outta here!

  • Why is it that when you're in a hurry nothing seems to go the way it should?

  • Just grab everything you can find and go!

  • Do I need this lunch box?

  • On second thought

  • Good, the coast is clear.

  • This little noodle is about to save the day.

  • Oh this backpack is soooo heavy….

  • Okay, Dad, can you take me to school now?

  • Sure hon!

  • Keep that noodle clenched in your teeth as your parent helps you put your backpack on.

  • And at just the right moment, bite down on that thing as hard as you can.

  • Jennifer! Was that your back?

  • It's pretty freaky but it works like a charm every time.

  • Almost too well

  • Oh no! He's calling 9-1-1!

  • Don't worry, we'll have you fixed up in no time!

  • Hey, it still beats having to take that math test, right?

  • Spray bottles are great for a lot of things.

  • Especially fake sneezes.

  • Watch and learn, friends.

  • ACHOO!

  • Kate! Ever heard of Kleenex?

  • You totally pranked Mrs. Applebee!

  • But why pull this prank just once?

  • Seriously? Again, Kate?

  • This thing's worth its weight in gold, am i right?

  • You can also pull this stunt on your parents.

  • ACHOO!

  • Gross!

  • Sorry, just a little cold.

  • So it is germs you sneezed right into my coffee?

  • That's it, you're not going into class today, missy.

  • I'm texting your teacher.

  • Yes! This is perfect!

  • Ooh, looks like Kate's staying home today.

  • Well, it's settled. Schools off today.

  • Thanks mom, I could really use the day to get better.

  • The spray bottle trick scores again!

  • Hey there, Jennifer, you're looking pretty underwhelmed about breakfast this morning.

  • That's because the thought of going to school is making my brain go numb.

  • Hurry up, Jen, it's almost time to go!

  • Okay mom.

  • Oh dear! Are you alright?

  • Run for coverJennifer's about to blow!

  • Oh my goodness! You poor baby!

  • Don't worry, Jen's not really sick.

  • Simply put a handful of the stuff into your mouth, drink some orange juice and chew it all up.

  • Just don't swallow it!

  • Pretty convincing, right?

  • This trick comes in super handy on days when projects are duo, that's for sure.

  • Dear! Maybe you're better off staying home in bed today.

  • Put on some jammies and I'll make you some ginger tea for your tummy.

  • Told you it works!

  • Ever find yourself bing watching a show on Netflix all night?

  • Sure, it's not a big deal on a Saturday but on a school night, it isn't the best idea.

  • Oh no! My mom's coming!

  • Kate?

  • What are you still doing in bed?

  • Perhaps a little daylight will help you open your eyes.

  • The bus will be here in 15 minutes, Kate!

  • Why do you always insist on staying up so late so you can't get up?

  • Geez, what's her problem?

  • Why did I stay up al night? I didn't sleep a wink!

  • And boy does it show!

  • I'm a hot mess, aren't I?

  • But perhaps I can find a way to stay home and sleep this off.

  • And this little towel is going to do all the work for me.

  • Once you've gotten the water nice and hot, soak the towel in it for a couple minutes.

  • Once it's cooled a tad, put it directly onto your forehead.

  • Pretty soon, your head will be feeling nice and warm.

  • Yep, perfect!

  • Be sure to keep it on right up until your mom comes back in to check on you.

  • You aren't seriously still in bed, are you, Kate?

  • Check my temperature, I feel awful.

  • Let's see.

  • You do feel warm, sweetie.

  • Okay, you stay right there, I'm going to get you some medicine.
