Oh no, you didn’t get your homework done last night. Your teacher is not going to be happy. Quick, it’s time to come up with some creative excuses. Try these ten excuses on for size:

1. I left my homework on my desk at home. My dog got ahold of it and slobbered all over it. I didn’t want to bring it in with all those dog germs.
2. I can’t believe it. My little brother must have put my homework in his backpack. Wait until I get ahold of him.
3. What homework? You mean that we had homework that was due today? I’m sorry, but I suffer from short term memory lost. In fact, are you sure that I’m in the right class?
4. Aliens from outer space abducted my homework. They threatened me and said that if I didn’t give them my homework that I would be terminated.
5. I never do my homework. My girlfriend does it for me. Unfortunately, she was sick and couldn’t do it last night.
6. I got up an hour early just to do my homework. A voice called me from my bedroom and said that I should go back to sleep. Who am I to ignore The Voice.
7. My mom accidentally took my homework and put it in the garbage. I have a note from my mom that says this happened. And oh my, I can’t believe it. I left the note at home.
8. We had no food in the house. I can’t do homework on an empty stomach. Can you?
9. My dad insisted that I watch the hockey game. After the game, my dad insisted that I have a snack. Next, my dad suggested that I go to sleep. I tried to explain to my dad that I had homework that was due tomorrow. Dad just chuckled and said that I could bring it in the following day. You never argue with your dad.
10. Of course I have my homework. Here it is. What do you mean that I’m giving work to you that is a week old?
