As a kid, I was really responsible. I didn't sluff school, and I don't think I was ever tardy. In HS, my mom gave me permission to skip one day/year (or maybe it was two) if my grades were A's and B's and they always were. So, I played hookey responsibly and with permission. Btw, (side note inserted here) isn't hookey such a hokey word? I love it for it's funkiness.
But as an adult, I want to play hookey more often than not! Of course, the grown-up responsible voice usually wins out, but man, is that rebellious child voice getting louder and louder! Especially as winter is passing and the sunshine is beckoning to me.
So, here I sit in my office. My paperwork is done. I have two more appointments this afternoon, so I know that it would be completely irresponsible and unprofessional to cancel, so I won't. At least not today.
Wouldn't it be fun though?
