Many times when one student complains about not feeling well, a good number of other students soon join in with all of their aches and pains...

Mrs. B: Look, you can't ALL be suffering from some sort of illness or another, and the problem with complaining when it's not really a big deal is that no one believes you when you really are sick.

Reed: Oh, don't I know it. I'm a TOTAL hypochondriac! Now my mom never thinks I'm sick.

(Side note: Wow. Hypochondriac. Good word, Reed!)
