And it happens to bloggers too. Meant to get a new post up but......"Brother peed pants." Oh, no--wait. That's another one from the "Best Tardy Excuses" archives.
Can you tell which excuses are which? All are real, by the way.

Me, slighting uppity and almost yelling: Well, why weren't you here on Monday when it was due?
Her just as uppity and yelling: Because I was in the hospital because my mother was having her baby
Me, still uppity and yelling: well, I did not know that. Congratulations.
Her, still yelling and uppity: thank you!
Me, snickering but still uppity and yelling: well, what did you name her?
Her, still yelling but not sure why: Sophia
Me: well, that's a nice name
Still doesn't explain why she couldn't come to school. She's 14. I'm sure her mother is thinking it's good birth control. I think French is more important. But, whatever.
You gotta love a good uppity, yelled, "Congratulations." ;)
Great list! I can especially relate to number 12 (Come on, kids, DO something! I've got a blog to write!!) :D
