Headache isn't much though, a couple of panadol and he'd be good to work. Twisted ankle or wrist is more believable. If someone told me they took the day off because they had a headache I'd assume it's a hangover. Migraine I'd be ok with but expect a medical cert. Twisted ankle I just expect them to sit at home and let it come right on it's own. | |

But I suggest to not continue lying in terms of coming up with other false facts. But as you say, sick can be anything so a headache could also qualify as feeling sick and has an explainable reason in this case. | |

'I told you a load of bullpoops earlier because I couldn't be bothered coming in'. It's called a white lie, a harmless way of avoiding minor unpleasantness or drama. | |
