“Homework Excuses”

Excuses to give your teacher when you don’t do your homework.

- I didn’t do my history homework because I don’t believe in dwelling on the past.

- I didn’t want the other kids in the class to look bad.

- A sudden gust of wind blew my homework out of my hand and I never saw it again.

- Another pupil fell in a lake and I jumped in to rescue him. Unfortunately, my homework drowned.

- Our furnace broke and we had to burn my homework to keep ourselves from freezing.

- I’m not at liberty to say why.

- I wanted to frame the detention letter you’re about to give me.

- It was destroyed in a freak accident involving a hippo, a toaster, and a bag of frozen peas. You don’t want to know the details.

- I have a solar-powered calculator, and it was cloudy.

- I made a paper plane out of it and it got hijacked.

- My mom used it as a dryer sheet.

- My agent won’t allow me to publish my homework until the movie deal is finalized.

- It’s against my religion to do any homework.

- I was abducted by green-skinned, three-eyed, pig-snouted space aliens, and they incinerated my homework with their death rays.

- I felt it wasn’t challenging enough.

- My parents were sick and unable to do my homework last night. Don’t worry, they have been suitably punished.

- We had homework?!

- I see your lips moving, but all I am hearing is “blah, blah, blah.”

- I didn’t want to add to your already heavy workload.

- I spent the night at a rally supporting higher pay for our hard-working teachers.

Your graphic is a reminder
Of why we have Memorial day, Teenie.

In Loving Memory

On every soldier’s tombstone
should be a message of honor, respect and love:

“In loving memory
of one who loved his country,
who fought against evil
to preserve what is right and true and good.

In loving memory
of one who is a cut above the rest of us,
who had the surpassing courage,
the uncommon strength,
to do whatever had to be done,
persevering through hardship and pain.

In loving memory
of one who was brave enough
to give his life, his all,
so that those he cared about
would remain safe and free.

In loving memory
of a unique and treasured soldier
who will never be forgotten.”

By Joanna Fuchs

Thank you, Pam.

Sorry that I was so late opening the doors this morning. It took me forever to finish that graphic. I should have spent more time on it yesterday.

Wishing you a Fun, Patriotic Caturday.

Hi Teenie. Thank you.

The temp is 73 degrees with a slight breeze and a few clouds.

At least my allergies are not acting up as much as they were. Yesterday I took an allergy capsule and then a 3 hour nap. :)

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY...
...AND HAPPY CATURDAY!
Remember all our fallen military men and women, who have died
that we might be free and safe, this weekend on Memorial Day!
It's more than just a weekend of shopping and BBQs!
