I started on my homeworkbut my pen ran out of ink.My hamster ate my homework.My computer's on the blink.I accidentally dropped itin the soup my mom was cooking.My brother flushed it down the toiletwhen I wasn't looking.My mother ran my homeworkthrough the washer and the dryer.An airplane crashed into our house.My homework caught on fire.Tornadoes blew my notes away.Volcanoes struck our town.My notes were taken hostageby an evil killer clown.Some aliens abducted me.I had a shark attack.A pirate swiped my homeworkand refused to give it back.I worked on these excusesso darned long my teacher said,"I think you'll find it's easierto do the work instead."
