You're SO late for class!

What's your excuse?

Mine: I just got back from Mars. Had to park my ship on the sports field!

i saw a baby elephant

I found a stray dog 

it was snowing

The train was late 

I thought I saw a spaceship in the sky 

I was playing HP forum games and lost track of time 

I took a wrong turn 

i saw a bird in distress

I played hopscotch the entire way here 

i was eating

My legs got tired 

The sun was too bright. 

I forgot my glasses

I was reading

I forgot what day it was 

I got lost 

You're late! I stopped for the caterpillar to cross the road

I was picking strawberries

I was feeding butterflies

I couldn't see past my grass
