    The worst thing you can do is try different symptoms or illnesses. You might have to go along with whatever engagement you're trying to avoid. If they take you to school, keep up your symptoms while there and you might still be able to get out of it.

    This might make your mixture too liquid; if the mixture is a greenish-yellow color, it might pass as bile. Otherwise, it needs some solid chunks to pass for vomit.

    Faking a cough isn't particularly tricky; just replicate the typical feeling when you need to cough. For it to work at school however, you need to make sure you're seen by teachers, and are enough of a nuisance that they'll believe you're sick.

    You have to make sure you don't sell too much. This might happen if your fake fever runs too high, or if you pretend to vomit too often. Unfortunately trying to convince your mom you don't need to go to the doctor is a surefire way to let her know you've been faking!
