My kids’ elementary school had a form you had to sign when you were late. It asked why you were late. This is none of their business of course (not that I fault them for asking). These are the reasons I gave over the years. I hope they’re in a database somewhere.
Misplaced glass eye.
Tragic boating accident.
Incident with dental floss and goldfish.
Turns out the school is EAST.
I blame their mother.
Have YOU tried getting Sophia out of bed?
Trans-continental detour.
Meteor strike.
A man, a plan, a canal. Panama.
Coin toss came up heads.
