Grand excuses

I have been absent from blogging for over a week now. Actually absent from life altogether. Fortunately nobody actually noticed I was gone so all is still well with the world. Not that my absence or presence has much effect on the world anyway. 🙂 As is often the case when I take time off for whatever reason, I have to ease my way back in. What better way than the 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups? This week’s challenge is a straightforward one (which, as is often the case, are the ones that give me the most trouble of course). This week we are to write 106 words including the phrase:

But when you are trying to cover up an epic mistake; trying to ease the glare of angry parentage and ensure survival until adulthood, it is good to be clear in speech when making THE excuse.

For one thing we don’t actually have a dog. And my parents know full well my best friend is a deity.

Dyslexia did not help then!
