 I started on my homework, but my pen ran out of ink… My hamster ate my homework… My computer’s on the blink… I tripped and dropped my homework in the soup my mom was cooking… My brother flushed it down the toilet when I wasn’t looking… My mother ran my homework through the washer and the dryer… An airplane crashed into our house… My homework caught on fire… Tornadoes blew my notes away… Volcanoes rocked our town… My books were taken hostage by an evil killer clown… Some aliens abducted me… I had a shark attack… A pirate swiped my homework and refused to give it back… I worked on these excuses so darned long my teacher said, “I think you’ll find it’s easier to do the work instead.” More homework excuses?
