...That would have been the perfect time for the perfectly legitimate excuse of a 'family emergency'. They don't even have to talk about what's going on...A girl once told me the day of practice that she had to miss a 5-7 practice on a Tuesday because she had a school dance. She was obviously lying (who's ever had a school dance on a Tuesday?) and gave her a warning and called her parents. Turns out she had to go into court for a really horrible custody battle right in the middle of her parent's divorce that I was never told about. I felt pretty badly when she started crying the next time I saw her, but I feel like it would have been so much easier if the parents had just told me. I would have backed off in a heartbeat.
