The Excuse Game

[Matthew-59]

Deck the halls and cook the ham.

Why do I get the urge to sing.. ♫ ♪ Fa,la,la,la,la.. la,la,la,la ♪ ♫

Well, since I can't sing very well, I guess I had better not attempt to deck the halls and cook the ham either. Might be disastrous!

Sweep off the sidewalk.

 

[Aratinga]

No. I don't want to make all the ants have to re-build. They don't have broom insurance.

Read the Bible.

 

[lucypevensie]

I recently watched the movie The Ten Commandments, so that should be good enough.

You should drink more water.

 

[MissRowy]

I would but the pipes burst and the water was icky

Spray me with cold water to cool me down

 

[lucypevensie]

I would but I doubt that would cool you off completely.

Buy me a plane ticket home.

 

[MissRowy]

My credit card is overdrawn therefore I cant afford it...

take my garbage bins out to the side of the road

 

[frogalone]

I broke my toe and can't put shoes on; it's too cold for flip-flops.

Take me to Hawaii.

 

[Matthew-59]

Sorry, but I can't swim that far... especially with a passenger.

Read all of my junk mail and then throw it away.

 

[lucypevensie]

I wouldn't want you to miss out on a low, low interest rate on a credit card, and I don't want you to miss all the amazing car sales ads. You need to have that important information.

Stop at the grocery store for me in the morning.

 

[MissRowy]

I would but the car broke down...

Make my dinner for me please

 

[lucypevensie]

I stink at cooking. I can't even make toast or boil water.

Give me a ride home from work.

 

[MissRowy]

I would but my car ran out of gas

make me a coffee

 

[lucypevensie]

I would but I think you ought to cut out the caffeine.

Pack a lunch for my son.

 

[MissRowy]

I dont want to make him something he dislikes so im afraid i cant do that

park my car in the garage for me

 

[lucypevensie]

I'm afraid I might knock the side mirror off. No can do.

Call the insurance company for me.

 

[MissRowy]

And be put on hold for ages...no thanks!

Put the kettle on for me!

 

[lucypevensie]

I might burn the house down if I mess with the stove.

Tidy up my bedroom for me.

 

[MissRowy]

it will just get messy again...

get me a drink from the fridge

 

[lucypevensie]

I'm allergic to all the drinks in the fridge, and just touching them can be deadly.

Wake me up in time to go to work.

 

[MissRowy]

the alarm clock broke...

pick my boyfriend up from the station later on for me
