Because she is smart she won't use it down the road she will know how understanding you are. You could tell her you know and that it is OK but next time if life gets a little rough not to fibe about being sick that she should tell you and she might just need another personal day. Tell her not to abuse the priviledge. Be open honest and treat her like an adult I know you still think of her as a small child your baby girl and you always will however at her age she is changing into a young lady before your eyes and treat her as such and you will have a great relationship through her teen years. If she knows you are understanding and let her have the much needed R&R she won't cut school when she is older she will know she could go to you and have her personal day without a reason.
