Transcript:
Phoebe: Mom I can't go to school today! I'm sick! Mom: You look fine. Phoebe: It's a MENTAL illness. I've gone CRAAAAAAZY. Apparently, crazy people still have to go to school. Marigold: Even the crazy need to be stupid.
Nice try Phoebe but kids trying to ditch school only proves your sanity. Next time tell you mom you love school want to do your home work and look forward to doing chores and want 2nds on broccoli. Though that was a cute grin.
I was never all that sane in the first place and I still went to school. I did reasonably well, actually (though it could be argued that I didn’t show my full potential there).
Guild. The Queene your Mother, in most great affli-ction of spirit, hath sent me to you.Ham. You are welcome.Guild. Nay, good my Lord, this courtesie is not ofthe right breed. If it shall please you to make me a whol-some answer, I will doe your Mothers command’ment:if not, your pardon, and my returne shall bee the end ofmy Businesse.Ham. Sir, I cannot.Guild. What, my Lord?Ham. Make you a wholsome answere: my wits dis-eas’d.

She doesn’t have mental illness. She’s a carrier.

It happens to a lot of little girls. They go horse crazy. Though in this case it involves a unicorn.

I tried that once. It worked too well, I was put in a padded room and a straight jacket for almost a year

The Student’s Catch-22: If you’re well enough to realize that you’re sick, then you’re well enough to go to school.
Mental health corollary: If you’re sane enough to realize that school has made you crazy, then you’re still sane enough to go to school.
Either way, you have to go to school…
