Got a letter from the principal at my five year-old Tinkerbell's school. Tink was brought in today after the sub gave her a bad report yesterday. Uh-oh. Her wonderful principal wrote that Tinkerbell would like me to know:
"that she didn't mean to crawl under the table after handwriting because she couldn't hear because her hair was covering her ears. She says she put her hair in her ears during night time and forgot to take it out. When asked if she thinks crawling under the table was a good idea, she said she didn't know because she couldn't hear herself thinking." Tink promised the principal "she won't make the same decision again, even if her hair is in her ears."
Ah, the old hair in the ears excuse.
What is the wildest or weirdest excuse you have ever used?

OK -- obviously I just found your public blog, so I'm a commenting fool now. This hair-in-the-ears things is priceless, especially that she "wouldn't make the same decision again, even if ..."
Quite the gal, this Tink ...
She is quite a gal. We're all hoping the hair stays out of the ears, but you never know.
But I know with four kids you have to have some good excuses to share...
I'll have to get Jodi to share. My children fear me. (As Emma used to say, "That truck a great big one like my daddy" or "That gorilla hairy like you, daddy!") Thus, no excuses.
>:- )
"That gorilla hairy like you, daddy!"
They're such an ego boost, aren't they?
