I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses.
Case 1:
"I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. "Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie..
Case 2:
" My mum brought me to a friend's house last night. We're back only after midnight. This is morning, I had stomachache. Really painful.." "yes?" "It was so painful that i forgot to do my homework.... until now....That's why I didn't passed up the book...." (arms croosed, shoes tapping on the floor rhythmically..) "Can you give me another chance? Don't tell my mum.. please...". BUSTED!!
Case 3:
"Teacher, I want to go back home. I'm having a headache, it's really painful." "What other illness are u experiencing right now?" "Nothing else. Just headache. Can I call my mum to pick me up now?" "Yeah sure. By the way did u remember to passed up my homework today...?" (without any eye contact, marking continuously with smooth strokes on the same homework mentioned). "I'm Ok now teacher. Can I go back to the class?" "Are you sure you're Ok, cause you don't look like u're feeling well..." "Erm..... yes teacher. I'm OK now. I'll passed up your homework before reccess."
So. that's some lies that I've been listening today. One can only imagine how to deal with all this kids everyday who's currently attending a "101 ways to lie when you forgotten to pass up your homework" workshop at school. Imagine what we can do with all those energy.. Such a waste of acting talent. Tomorrow, will be another interesting day to listen to lies, and excuses..
