Let him take the day off.

From Create Your Own Story

You walk up to Michael. "Hun, if you want to take the day off today, you can. I know what mom just did could make you feel strange. But it's done now." You say in a motherly tone. "Okay, mom. I love you." Michael responds, trying his hardest to break a smile. "Say, why don't me and you go out for something to eat at about midday?" You say trying your best to cheer him up. "Sounds great mom." Michael utters, then hugging you and returning to his room.

The time passed quickly to midday and you a Michael hop into the car and drive to your favourite place to eat. You're sat in a booth facing opposite to each other. "So, why did you not go into work today Mom? Why am I not in school either?" Michael questioned. "I feel like things have been a little hard for us two, being the oldest two in the house." You say assuringly "I think we deserve a well earned break, don't you?" You say smiling at your son. "Good point mom." Michael says, then giggling a little. "I'm just going to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Michael said as he jumps out of the booth and walks over to the toilets.

While waiting for Michael to come back, you scan the menu deciding on what you'll have to eat. But before ordering you too decide to use the bathroom too. You get to your feet and make your way to the bathroom.
