Your Saturday Smile: Homework Excuses

Well, the first week of school is over, and I'm already practising my homework excuses for next week. Do you think Mom will buy any of these?

I don't have my homework because ...

1) I lost it fighting a kid who said you weren't the best teacher in school!

2) our furnace stopped working, and we had to burn it to keep from freezing.

3) my dad had a nervous breakdown, and he cut it up to make paper dolls.

4) I made a paper plane out of it, and it got hijacked.

5) another pupil fell in the lake, and I jumped in to rescue him. Unfortunately, my homework drowned!
