The Excuse Game

[lucypevensie]

Maybe I would if you were going to use them to make a Christmas cake for me, but I suspect you want these ingredients for selfish purposes, so no.

It's what lovely day, how about going for a walk with me?

 

[Daughter of His]

Hmmm sorry, already went.

Could you change a tire for me?

 

[lucypevensie]

Ugh. My hands would get dirty!

Can you please turn down the volume?

 

[Miche_nz]

Turn down the what ? Sorry I would help but the noise is so loud in here.

Could you pick all the beans and peas in the garden

 

[lucypevensie]

I bet you're going to make me eat them too, right? Well, I've eaten enough healthy foods for today, so you're going to have to pick your beans by yourself.

Can you recommend a good dentist?

 

[Daughter of His]

Why bother with a Dentist when you can just go out in your garage and use pliers or a dremel and save money.

Did you ever take my advice?

 

[Miche_nz]

I was going to take your advice and I even wrote it down so I didn't forget but would you believe ,, the dog ate it ... I know right,, sheesh !!

Speaking of dogs, he is ready for his walk ,, be fantastic if you take him [emoji4]

 

[Daughter of His]

He is acting like he wants YOU to take him, I wouldn't want him disappointed.

Maybe someone can make Christmas cookies for me.

 

[lucypevensie]

Maybe. It won't be me though because I want to lose about 15 pounds.

Could you give me your opinion on this art project I'm working on?

 

[LaSorcia]

Uh no, sorry. My PhD in art history has biased me against giving opinions to amateurs.

I want someone to watch Kiki's Delivery Service with me.

 

[lucypevensie]

That sounds scary. No thanks!

Could you pass me the tv remote please?

 

[Jacob Jilg]

TV is dumb + bad for you, and I'm obviously in a different state.

Make a command for me. I'm a follower, not a leader.

 

[LaSorcia]

If you're too lazy to lead, why shouldn't I be?

Share your lunch with me. I forgot mine.

 

[Miche_nz]

I thought about sharing my lunch but then ,, you didn't say please ,,, so hmmm no

Could you mow the lawns please. Won't take you long ,, I would but ,,

 

[LaSorcia]

I'd love to help, but I'm just too hungry you see. I had no lunch.

Can someone please give me a recipe for lasagna?

 

[lucypevensie]

I'll take the time to write it aaalll down for you, then how much you want to bet you'll lose the piece of paper it's written on? That could happen, you know, and I don't have the time to waste.

I lost something valuable, so could you help me search my house? You be rewarded if you find it.

 

[LaSorcia]

What if you lost a dust bunny? What use is that reward to me?

I need help cleaning out the fireplace...

 

[lucypevensie]

Good luck with that. I'd help you, but I already promised to help 3 other people with their chimneys.

Could you pick up a pizza for dinner tonight?

 

[LaSorcia]

I'm sorry, I need to change my oil so I don't want to drive any more than is absolutely necessary.

Can you help me assemble this furniture?

 

[lucypevensie]

I'm no good at following directions. Just do it yourself and I'll watch you.

All I need is someone to carry this bakery of clean laundry upstairs.
