I left it at home
I gave it to the garden gnome
My dog ate it
My brother used it to stuff his baseball mitt
We ran out of paper
I needed to refill the stapler
I was sick
My clock wouldn’t tick
I read to the blind
I couldn’t make up my mind
I was in a wedding
I went out to buy bedding
I went to a funeral
My youth group painted a mural
I cooked dinner
My father was a lottery winner
I somehow got hurt
I met a guy named Kurt
My mother fell ill
Dad forgot to pay the bill
Now do you see why I din’t do my homework?
What? You don’t believe me? But making excuses is a lot of work
