Excuses

I appreciate you asking me for a date but, errr... the invitation arrived too late. You see; I stumbled and took a tumble that broke my nose and bloodied my toes. My face is swollen and my clothes were stolen I've nothing to wear, and need to wash my hair. I swear it's true. I'm not making excuses to you! I ate chocolate crickets that gave me rickets and it made me turn green so I'm quarantined. Well then, please don't grieve, but would you believe? It's not that I don't wanna, but I'm stuck in Tijuana Another time, maybe? I'm about to have a baby! 11/28/20 Make Me Laugh With Some Humor Sponsored by Tania Kitchin

I enjoyed your humor this morning, Jenna, surely YOU have never used any of these excuses... Good luck in the contest. Hugs.

Actually, I have...once, but with a much more believable excuse. Thanks a lot, John.

You wouldn't do that to me,would you Jenna? By the way,let me know when you get the restraining order.

lol Joe. I'm not sure I know you well enough to make excuses or not, but judging from the kindness of your comments and your humor...I think no restraining order is necessary...at least not yet. Thanks!

Wow, Jenna, I would hope the guy gets the hint, haha! This brought a big smile. I think I heard some of those very same reasons when I was asking girls out in high school, but the baby one is new! Well done, best wishes in the contest ~ John

Good morning, John, and thanks so much for finding the humor in such lame excuses. It was a fun write, limited to 12 lines, or I could've given him more. lol
