Best Excuses I Ever Heard

She never ran out of excuses.
She was the queen of them.
She could throw out six 
Before the rest of us could think of half of one.
She had the best ones I had ever heard.
I left all of my homework at my grandma’s house
after I did it
Someone stole my backpack at the mall,
and it was all done and the extra credit stuff too.
My backpack was involved in a high speed police chase.
They locked it up in evidence. 
My backpack was left on a city bus.
It has not been found yet.
My backpack ran away with another backpack.
They are vacationing in the Bahamas.
Best excuses I ever heard.

Comedy relief for the first few weeks until she is pink slipped.
