The Excuse Game

[lucypevensie]

He'd really rather have you pick him up.

Take me out for dinner.

 

[Matthew-59]

I'm sorry but I can't right now. My hair is messy.. the dog just pooped on the rug.. the cat ate the goldfish.. the cat just died (choked on the goldfish).. I gotta go mail a letter in my pajamas because the washing machine broke and I have no clean clothes.. my feet hurt.. my nose itches.. the roof on the garage just caved in.. my computer just crashed.. my left elbow has an unsightly rash.. and what's worse is that I have no idea where my car keys are. AAAHHH!!!!

Take me on a fishing trip.

 

[MissRowy]

Sorry the boat has a hole in the bottom and the fishing rods are broken

Pick up some groceries for me

 

[lucypevensie]

I don't know where the grocery store is.

PUt the dishes in the dishwasher away.

 

[joyshirley]

Sorry, but the dishwasher door seems to have locked itself.

Make me a cup of tea.

 

[lucypevensie]

Tea has caffeine and caffeine is bad. Even if it's decaf, it's best to not develop a taste for those kinds of things.

Please pay the money so that I can take an art class.

 

[MissRowy]

Sorry the bank is closed so I cant get the money out to pay your art class

put the fan on for me

 

[lucypevensie]

It might make you too cold.

PUt the groceries away for me.

 

[MissRowy]

I dont know where they go so therefore I cannot

get the clothes off the line for me

 

[Matthew-59]

The last time I got the clothes off the line for you I didn't receive my paycheck. So I'm not going to fall for that trick again.

My back itches... Will you scratch it?

 

[MissRowy]

no because i have long nails and might draw blood therefore causing an infection..

put some clothes in the wardrobe for me

 

[joyshirley]

There are no coathangers, so I can't.

Find me a pen, will you, please?

 

[Matthew-59]

I can't because I don't know what kind of pen you're looking for. Writing pen? Animal pen? Play pen? State pen? Fed pen?

Bake an apple pie.

 

[Kaseye330]

I can't because I don't know what type of apples you want for the pie. Can you take me to the store?

 

[lucypevensie]

You didn't specify which store. Could be a clothing store, a grocery store, or a feed store. I'd be driving around for days trying to figure out what you want.

Will you bake some oatmeal cookies for us?

 

[Matthew-59]

No, because I'm not hungry for oatmeal cookies right now. Maybe if you'd have said chocolate chip cookies with Cheetos, then....

Get me a new bottle of water.

 

[lucypevensie]

There's nothing wrong with the bottle you already have. Sure, it's been open for a month and it's green, but hey, water is water.

Get out of my way, will ya?

 

[MissRowy]

I wasn't in your way in the first place!

Turn the air conditioner on for me

 

[lucypevensie]

I like it warm.

Take the bread out of the oven.

 

[Kaseye330]

Ok, but it was never turned on.

Can you take out the garbage?
