I hear so many excuses for being tardy to school. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...Here is a compilation of some that make me laugh. I never know who is telling the truth and who is pulling my leg. I have to look at patterns.
1. Flat tire (used by the same student two weeks in a row)
2. Mom got a ticket rushing to school
3. Someone unplugged my alarm clock AGAIN.
4. Our computer wouldn't work.
5. Our computer printer wouldn't work.
6. My brother threw a tantrum
7. My brother pooped his pants
8. My dog ran away
9. My dad needed his coffee first before he could drive me.
10. My dog was hit by a car
11. We overslept (at least I know this one is honest)
12. No one woke me up
13. My shoe broke
14. I was at a concert last night, and my mom wanted me to get my 8 hours of sleep.
15. My dog decided to unplug my alarm clock.
16. My brother stepped on my finger and broke it
17. My feet were stiff and I couldn't get moving
18. My mom won't bring me to school because she stopped at a garage sale.
19. We got lost...
20. My mom lost her keys
21. I was still doing my homework.
22. I was on the phone
23. My carpool left me
24. I had to take my dog to the vet
25. I was having a bowel movement
26. My sister's gold fish died

ReplyDeletelol, gosh. i consider all of these plausible excuses. what does that tell you?
ReplyDeleteyet i am insanely anal about punctuality; go figure.
You would have loved me as a teenager. Ha! I perfected my moms signature and just wrote "Please excuse Lindsay at 12:30 today for a Dr's appt." Worked like a charm. I even kept different forms of stationary in my locker to mix it up a little so I wouldn't get caught :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! You could write a book about being a school secretary based on all the excuses you hear. Those are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI see a lOT of pet related excuses - thats good for my line of work - if they are true... :)
ReplyDeletevery funny list. (and i love the first song you have playing. beautiful!)
