Funny Excuses for Not Doing Homework

If you are a fifth grader and you want to watch your favorite TV show just when you have to finish the work your teacher has given you, what do you do? Personally, I think you watch the show anyway, and give excuses for not doing homework the next day at school! There are so many such excuses, which kids use when they don't do their homework, and though the teacher can tell, they still use these. That's what makes them so funny.

Some of them are very spontaneous, as they come right on the spur of the moment when the teacher demands an answer. While some can be mugged earlier, simply to be prepared when the teacher asks you for an answer. Whatever the situation is, you have to give some reason, since the bottom line is that you haven't finished your work. Find some such really funny reasons mentioned in the following article. (Note: Make sure you keep this list away from your teachers or parents, as you never know what will happen if they find it.).

The list is compiled below, you can take your pick from them; but here's a warning, don't expect them to work always, as eventually, they are excuses!?

You can use the reasons mentioned above, but completely on your own risk! But not doing it, isn't going to help you get rid of your work, so might as well finish it off. Read and understand the benefits of doing your work on time, and then, plan those important things, like playing, watching TV, or even going to the mall.
