9 Ridiculous Excuses for when You Forget Your Homework ...

By Holly

Now that school's starting, you'll need excuses for when you forget your homework. If you just do the work that's assigned then you won't have an issue, but there will always be days when it slips your mind. You'll risk getting in even more trouble if you actually use these excuses for when you forget your homework, but you can still daydream about using them, or tell them to your friends when they ask why you're slacking.

1. Kanye West Ripped It up, Because He Thought Beyonce’s Homework Was Better

Pretend you're Taylor Swift for the day. Blame Kanye for stealing your homework, because he's done so many other crazy things in the past. This is one of the best excuses for when you forget your homework, because all of your classmates will understand the reference. If your teacher is hip, then even she'll know what you're talking about.

2. Aliens Took It as a Sample of Human Handwriting

You can't say no to an alien, can you? If one of them wants to study your handwriting, then you have to agree. After all, it's more important to stay alive than to hand in your assignment on time.

3. My Friend Made a Paper Airplane out of It and It Landed on the Roof

This excuse lets your teacher know that you actually did do your homework, but it's just not in your possession at the moment. Getting it back is out of your hands, unless they have a ladder you can borrow.

4. My Mother Took It to Have It Framed

You did your homework, and your entire household is proud. Can you blame them for framing your hard work? Your teacher should be delighted.

5. You Said to do Questions 1-10. You Didn't Say to Bring Them in

If your teacher didn't clarify, it's her own fault. She should've known that her students would get confused. Next time, she should explain things more clearly.

6. The Lights in Our House Went out, and I Had to Burn It to Get Enough Light to See the Fuse Box

You can't waste all of the paper in the world on homework. Sometimes, there are more important things to do with it. If you needed some kindling, paper is useful, so this lie makes perfect sense.

7. I Didn't do It, Because I Didn't Want the Other Kids in the Class to Look Bad

If you're the smartest in the class, your intelligence could scare your peers. You don't want them to feel bad about their inferior brains, do you?

8. I Loaned It to a Friend, but He Moved Away

You let your friend look at your homework, because they needed some help. You were just being a good pal. You can't get in trouble for friendship.

9. I Didn’t Want to Add to My Teacher’s Heavy Workload

Once you hand in your homework, your teacher has to grade it, and that's not fair to them. They have lives, too. You might as well help them out by giving them less to do over the weekend.

Make sure you always do your homework, so you don't have to resort to any of these ridiculous excuses. Your teacher has heard tons of lies, so they'll know when you're stretching the truth. Are you a star student that always hands in your work on time?
