Excuses, Excuses

Just to give you a glimpse. Here are the top five excuses for why my students were sorely unable to come to class today. And by today I mean today. Unlike in Thailand where today could really mean any day throughout the history of time.

5. "Teachhhaaaa I was in the bed!"

My response: what bed?

4. "Teeaaacchhhhhhaaaaaa high blood pressure!!!!!"

Does that mean me or you? Because I'm certain I have it now.

3. "Teachaaa badmitton final!"

Is that a real thing?

2. "Teachhhhha I went to hospital to wash my eye."

Again, is that something that really happens?

and drum roll please....the number one excuse from today Wednesday January 27th, 2010.

1. "Teachhhhhaaaaa I went with her to hospital to wash her eye!"

And there you have it.
