Love it!! They made me laugh!
Have a wonderful Thrursday!www.homeschoolblogger.com
Ah, great visit outlining the power of words - or poorly written phrases.
Oh, that's a scream. Don't you know sometimes teachers just laugh until they cry over some of these excuses?
Happy TT!
Now, I can see the Sunday paper excuse as being real - at least for me.
Those are almost as bad as the stuff I get from other lawyers!
It does amaze me at some of the excused we get also. I really like the ones the kids write and "someone" signs.
Our middle school kids come up with some very original excuses.
Happy TT
Very funny list! Looks like some of the parents may have missed a few too many days of school also. I better use spell check on the notes I write for my son. Don't want to end up on your list some day:)
LMAO! Those are hillarious! They come up with winners don't they.
I'm up too.
Oh, man, I hope I haven't written something as hilarious in my notes to school! Happy TT!
ROFL!! I hope I'm never so tired in the morning I write an excuse like this for one of my kids. Thanks for the laugh!
Hehe...I laughed especially at 2, 6 and 13. Spelling really makes a difference, doesn't it?
Thanks for visiting my 13!
Hee. Lots of parents pretty darn stressed out by their kids staying home--executing, shooting, planning funerals...
Funny! One would be tempted to say the kids wrote these, but we all know there are clueless parents, too.
Oh My God!
This is hilarious! (and I’m always so preoccupied with my spellings since English is not my mother tongue)
My sister in law is a teacher and I love listen her experience with excuses!
Happy T13!
Mine is up too :)
Cheers!
Thanks for the laughs. Don't you know the teachers that received these excuses had to laugh too!
Thanks for stopping by my T13.
Hi,
These were sooo funny-and I tend to think at least SOME were written by the kids!
BTW- first time to your site . I have seen you around a lot of places I visit- thought I'd check you out!...a fun site you have here!
Junie
ROFL! Those cracked me up! :)
Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog.
I hate them loose vowels ;)
Hilarious list, thanks for sharing!
I think we should at least be grateful that the parents are sending their children to school (sometimes) - if we had to rely on them to teach writing skills, the world would be in trouble.
I double checked my spelling and word order! Now watch there be a mistake. *blush*
I almost peed myself laughing :D
Great TT as always!
*G* i've seen these before.
The parent that wrote the excuse for 30, 31, 32, & 33 needs to go back to school
I've seen some of these before, but they are all hilarious!
Heh heh. I always love lists like this.
Improper writing/grammar is one of my pet peeves.
As a teacher, I sure appreciate these! They're the best!
LOL! These are stitch. Thanks for the smile and for swinging by.
yikes!!!! too funny. love the very close veins! hahaha! thanks for stopping by!
LOL Raggedy! Mary in bed with gramps! How incestuous is that??? =P

These were funny...I remember writing my own when I didn't want to take PE class or there was a book in the library but I needed permission to read it...or it was Tater Day in a a nearby town and I just had to go...lol!!
:-D
LMAO! Those were great!!!
To cross a word out type <.s> before then <./s> after, but take out the periods :)

Hi Raggedy ~~ Great list of excuses
thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for your visit and I am lad you enjoyed the story The Bell about
the blind horse, it was a good one.
Take care, my friend, Love, Merle
Too funny, I am sure my kids used many of these my daughter has very similar hand writing as my wife and we found out many years later the boys would skip school and she would write the excuse me notes, thanks for your comment on my site, I am now back on line so come by anytime thanks
ROFL!! Great TT list!
Very funny (and very scary too)!
Those are hilarious!! Sounds like kids writing their own excuses!
Check out my TT
Oh my gosh! If I wasn't in public right now, I'd be rolling on the floor, clutching my stomach and laughing my head off. I cracked up so hard at #10, but they all made me laugh. Thanks for such an up-lifting TT.
Too funny!
I love the one where they read the wrong paper, so they didn't know what day it was!
Those are great!!
Thanks for visiting my TT!
I am very angry with myself that I missed you yesterday and commented instead on different health and school troubles. BTW this could have been written by me as a parent when I started English ! Maybe it's not yet better now, you must know it !
The funniest thing is we have a list like that in french !
A little different of course but with the same target
Sheesh! These are way too funny...thanks for the list! They ALL made me laguh!!
LOL!!!! Those were excellent!
ha!!!! Loved this!!!! Thanks for the laugh!
*chuckles*
