You’re starting to get a reputation for being late to class. You need to come up with some new excuse. Here are five new excuses to try out:

1.   I was told that I couldn’t wear a hat in school.  I was stopped by a hall guard. He told me to put my hat in the locker or he’d confiscate it.  It was my dear grandma’s knitted hat. I had to take care of this before I went to class. You must have a dear grandma yourself. I’m sure that you can relate to my predicament.

2.   I’m sorry that I’m late. I couldn’t help it. I have a condition. I can’t talk about it. It’s really serious. Honestly, you really don’t want to catch my condition.

3.   My braces locked with my boyfriend as we kissed each other. I had to get my girlfriend to help put us apart. It was quite a scene.

4.   I couldn’t open my locker. I forgot the combination to my locker. I kicked my locker. I hit my locker with my bare knuckles. Finally, I said a magic spell, and it opened up. I hope you’ll make my absence disappear.

5.   It’s all Obama’s fault. He’s responsible for everything that is going wrong in the world. At least that’s what my dad tells me. You wouldn’t want to disagree with my dad. He’s six feet tall and weighs two hundred forty pounds. He’d pound you for sure.
