I have a note.

Exchange between Attendance Clerk and a first grader:

First grader (handing her folded note to the Clerk): "I wasn't here yesterday because I was sick. I couldn't smell and I was blesshouing."*

Clerk: "Excuse me? You were what?"

First grader: "I could not smell and I was blesshouing." (She mad a cupping form with her hands and with shoulders raised, moved and turned out cupped hands from her chin forward.

Clerk (suppressing a smile): "Oooh, I see."

*Blesshouing- is also known as sneezing, to which you reply "Bless you."
