Excuses, excuses! But, do you need some good ones? Of course you do - everyone does sometimes! And, the wilder and wackier the better. After all, why stick to reality when a wisecrack can make them laugh? Who invented excuses? The Day's First Rude Responses; Classroom Capers, What's Eating You? Teacher Features; Getting Nosy...; What Are You Doing? What Have You Got There? You're Driving Me Crazy; So, next time an adult sees you snacking on sweets and says "Are you eating junk food?", you smile innocently and say "You mean sugar, salt chocolate and crisps aren't the four main food groups?" If someone asks "Is that a birthmark?", you explain "No, it's a barcode, I'm on sale this week for 2.95!" Why bore people with the truth when a clever excuse will showcase your superior brain! Fully illustrated: cartoon animals by Jeff Sinclair make every excuse even funnier.

Need a laugh? You'll be rolling on the floor cracking up at all the funny excuses here, including:
Haven't you gotten out of bed yet?
Yes, and it was so tiring I got right back in.
Are you brushing your teeth?
No, I have rabies and I'm foaming at the mouth.
Are you running in the hall?
I wasn't running. I got wedged between two fast-walking football players.
Where's the rest of your homework?
I didn't want to add to your already heavy workload.
Do you have to play that music so loud?
Yes, if I don't, I keep hearing the neighbors yelling, "Turn it down."
So the next time anyone tries to blame something on you, you'll know what to tell them!
