When my mom told me to sleep early but I was working on my homework, she screamed at me. So, I told my mom that I only have to write a sentence but actually, I had to write a whole page.

So, it was this time when I came home late from my friend’s house. My friend and I didn’t keep track of time and I went past my curfew, so my mom asked me why I was late from her home. And I said that we had to do school work together but actually we were just playing and lost track of time.

The most ridiculous excuse that was said before was when I was late to the academy, I made this excuse to my teacher that my horse escaped from the stable and that I had to catch it. Even though I didn’t have a horse, my teacher believed me because my hobby is horseback riding and my teacher knew about that.

At night, when I went to sleep and put my daughter on her bed, I started to pretend to fall asleep because she talks too much. Then, if she realizes that I’m sleeping, she falls asleep fast.

So once when I was fencing back in Canada with my friends, the training was harsh. So we told the coach that we had to go somewhere and that we were so busy but actually we were going for boba. But in the boba place, we met our coach and she was like what are you doing here but we said that we just came for a quick break.

Lorenzo gave me a pressure quiz and I said that I didn’t have enough time to solve this because I was doing important things even though I didn’t have anything to do. I didn’t do the quiz because I don’t even know what this is and I can’t read his handwriting. And now it is sitting in my folder forgotten.

In my P.E class, we had a dancing project. But among the members, I was the one who can’t follow the steps and the dance. So as an excuse, I volunteered to become the star dancer so my grades won’t be affected. And because I was the star dancer, during the presentation, I danced with my own simple steps and my group members were good dancers behind me.

It may sound childish but I acted like I had a bad headache because I didn't want to work that day and my boss believed it.
