QotD: The Dog Ate It

What's the best excuse you've ever heard?

This just irritates me. There is this girl in my class who is gone every day that we have a test. (The whole two times so far). On Monday, she was gone but I think she went in earlier to take the test- why? I dont know. You arent supposed to be able to miss a test unless you are in the hospital...or so she says. But she has no problem letting this girl not be in class every time we take a test! The first time we had a test and I noticed she was gone, I thought it was weird. So when I saw her the following week, I said "oh. You missed last week. "Just opening the door for whatever she wanted to say... She says, "Oh yeah. We just bought a kitten and it got sick and I had to bring it to the vet earlier that day. It was almost deathly ill. Yeah. We just had such a crazy weekend. You know...things are crazy. My husband is working, and I have this class." I though he was working overtime, but she said he was only doing 40 hrs. She told me once that she was a para for special ed, but told someones else she didnt have a job. I have talked to her a few times in the past few weeks, and she is so full of excuses for herself about everything. I just think "Stop justifying why you dont do or why you do certain others and just do SOMETHING. She doesnt work, and she only has one class and no kids. I dont see why this one class is taking so much out of her. But thats just me not being very nice. Grr
