Top 10 worst excuses when you've not done your homework

1. I ate it.

2. My mum put it in the soup, to help me “absorb” the knowledge.

3. I was robbed in the hood.

4. Can you guess, my printer broke.

5. I just didn’t do it.

6. It was so good that my mum took it to get it framed.

7. I gave it to somebody to copy it, but they didn’t give it back.

8. What’s a “Homework”.

9. You said “Do questions 1-14.” You didn’t say to bring it in.

10. And the classic: My dog ate it.

(Let’s be honest, you don’t even have a dog. You ran away from a puppy in the park yesterday...stop.)

So, next time you’ve forgotten your homework, please avoid using these poor excuses. Just say you were too busy reading The Crest :)

Oh, and if you’ve ever used number 9, I need you to stop.
