Funny ExcusesFunny excuses from first graders are honest ones... They are never MADE-UP. The kids are too open and honest for that. For example, whenever one of my little ones is late for school, I always ask questions to check where they have been. And they'll tell me... Joe Joe was late for school…
He burst through the classroom door... panting and shouting, “Guess what! My homework just rode off down the road!” He headed straight for his desk and continued, “See, Papa put it on top of the truck. And drove off!” Little Joe Joe wiped the sweat from his brow. “You might not believe it. But I been out there chasing my homework down the road!” “Oh,” I assured him. “I believe it.” What Happened to You? Amy, who is always smiling, dragged herself into the classroom this morning. “Hi there,” I said. “Where’s your smiling face?” “I don’t know,” she said, with a low moan. “I just woke up like this.” “How’s that?” I said, asking for it. She was a ventriloquist. “All swoll up in a grouchy face.” Funny Excuses "Weesie," I said, "why are you late for school this morning?" "Cause," she admitted. "I had a problem." "Oh? What is it?" "Me," she confessed. "I slept overtime." Tommy shuffled through the classroom door… And collapsed in his seat. He was tardy. I went over to check on him and asked, “So, Tommy, are you okay? Why are you late?” He was an exhausted, exasperated zombie. “CAUSE," he scoffed. “Our car kept running DEAD.”
