You're fooling around in the living room. Your parents are out shopping. All of a sudden you throw a ball that knocks over your mom's expensive vase. Here are five excuses for knocking down the vase:
- We have a ghost in the house. He was looking for his mother's ashes when he accidentally knocked over the vase.
- Our cat was chasing a mouse in the house. She leaped after the mouse and knocked over the vase. Unfortunately, the mouse is still at large.
- I didn't do it. It was my brother's fault. He got angry about not making the baseball team and hurled his mitt into the living room. He made a direct hit at the vase. I guess he really struck out this time.
- I opened the windows to get some fresh air and wouldn't you know it. A sudden gust of window blew the vase off the pedestal.
- An earthquake hit our house while you were shopping. Can you believe it? Everybody is all right. Unfortunately, the vase did not survive the shake. Please forgive my tears, but I loved that vase. It was part of our family. I shall miss it. Good luck to that ceramic rainbow in the sky.
That one was my favourite. Excellent work, you really make me laugh.
