I was walking to room 10 with my homework when it started to rain. I didn't have a jacket, so it got wet. Then, I accidentally dropped it,and a stupid sophmore (who was visiting the school) with spikes on the bottom of his shoes named Chad jumped on it. When he was finished, I picked up the pieces and moved on. When I finally entered the room, someone yelled at me, and I accidentally dropped it into the garbage can. I know it sounds strange, but it really happened. (Lee W., class of 2001-2002)
I was too busy saving the world from evil alien raiders from far away to do the horrible homework you assigned me. They were sending battalion upon battalion of their strongest and most evil and cruel warriors to invade
earth, and so we wouldn't give them any trouble, they enclosed our entire planet with a globe shaped screens that projected the sky! Fortunately, I managed to destroy them as they passed through the network of screens, but I'm still looking for a way to get rid of the screen, so I can't do my homework tonight either.

I was carefully thinking over my homework, when suddenly my crazy 5 year old brother came screaming into MY DOMAIN (um...my room)! He refused to leave until I fed him lots of MY chocolate! Of course I refused, and he told my parents, who felt that I was being MEAN (hehe, me mean, yea right), so they forced me to play with him! So I watched movies and ran around and played!!! By the time both my parents and brother were satisfied it was 10:00pm, and I was told to go to bed. What can I say, I needed my beauty sleep which required me to wake up no earlier than 7:00am. Therefore my homework is not done, but really it's not my fault! (Cala M., class of 2003-2004)
Well, I was sitting there at my desk doing my homework at 10 PM, like always, and when I was almost done, the paper formed into a mouth and started yelling at me! So I told it to be quiet because it was going to wake up my dad. It wouldn't shut up, so I was forced to tear it to pieces. It's the real reason, I swear! (David J., class of 2003-2004)

I was doing my homework and realized that I had better things to do(Like watch T.V). After my favorite movie was over it was 1:00a.m - oops maybe I should have recorded "The Dictionary A-Z" (it was a great movie). Anyway I desided to take a shower at 1:00a.m. I thought it might be a good idea to multi-task, so I was doing my homework in the shower. Unfortunately, it melted and went down the drain and that is why I didn't do.....er ...um.. lost my homework. (Adam, class of 2007-2008)

Well, a monkey stole my homework. So I went traveling in the jungle (watching T.V) looking for that monkey and then I found it............(I don't know why it stole it; maybe it's because the monkey thought it was a banana or something), but then a HUGE anaconda, snake, thingy came and wrapped around my arm and bit my hand. Then I dropped my homework, and the monkey came back and grabbed the paper and ran away. The snake followed it!!! (Hunter H., class of 2007-2008)
I've given up homework for Lent. (Peter K., class of 2007-2008)
While I was doing my homework for the first time in a few weeks, I was suddenly attacked! The attacker was a huge chicken that appeared to have large talons (or maybe I was just watching Napoleon Dynamite). Then, my trusty pet badger came and made a proposition for the chicken. The badger said that whoever could land the most awesome trick on a skateboard would have to drink 5.1 ounces of milk. My awesome pet badger did a kickflip ollie with a built in 980 endo and landed it with a double flipped tail grab. Then badger was like, "YOU GOT SERVED!" The chicken got freaked out and it did a kick flip on a skateboard. Adam Lee then said, "Woah Jack, you're such a poser you probably don't even know what a kick flip is..." After that incident, the chicken was forced to drink milk... but not just any milk... The cow who had made the milk had eaten too much garlic and the milk now had a garlic-like consistency and taste. Then the huge bird (with large talons) emptied its stomach onto my homework, and that is why I don't have my homework... Well, that and the whole I didn't do it factor... (Jack H., class of 2007-2008)
One day, after school, my little brother was watching my favorite show Barney, while I was doing the awesomely fun homework that Mr. Prero the lord of the Castle 10 had given me. All of a sudden, Barney jumped out of the screen and started smiling at me and singing "I love you. You love me" with all of his gigantic purple dinosaur charm. The song was so beautiful that it eventually lulled me off to sleep. Now when I go to sleep I sleep for hours. That is why I never take naps. So I woke up at 7:45 and barely had time to get clothes on. And that is why I didn't do my homework...(Olivia M., class of 2008-2009) [Olivia was so 'eager' with this one, she submitted it before the school year even started!!]

Well you see, Mr. Teacher, I couldn't do my homework because of what happened: *flash back* "On a cold stormy night in the middle of summer there I was, working like a maniac on my 10,000 word research essay. Then out of cold night air Osama Bin Laden dropped out of the sky. We began in intense kung fu fighting but while I was fighting, one of the other terrorists snuck up behind me and hit my with a huge year-old waffle. I woke up the next morning and everything was gone except my essay, and so I got to work quickly because I had to get to school on time... And then, I woke up again and I was already 17 seconds late for schoo,l and then when I was going to finish my research essay on the computer the internet BROKE!!!" and that is why I don't have my homework...(Kyle R., class of 2008-2009)
Well there are many reasons I didn't do my fantastical ( It's a word, look it up.) homework. 1. I searched Google into Google and the Internet machine ( Invented by Al Gore) broke. 2. Do you know how addicting a Blues Clues marathon can be?? Well it is...VERY. 3. Well, I FINALLY get my homework done and it blows out of my backpack into the mailbox (so what if you need a key to open it, it happened, alright?) And oddly, it ends up in Australia, and an Australian kid ate it...They eat paper "down under" right? So yeah, that's why I didn't do it...I mean didn't turn it in...(Mason T., class of 2008-2009)
Well, I was going through my homework the night of Halloween, and then I remebered that I had did the homework at school, and that I had left it at school. Meanwhile, in room 10, my possessed desk was narfing down the last bits and pieces of my "Done" Homework. Obviously, the Witches had put a spell on it. Yaaahooo!! I mean, Darn those witches! And that's why I don't have my homework here today, Mr. P!! (Kyle S., class of 2008-2009)
Well, you see, Mr. Prero, I was finished with my homework, and then I decided to build a time machine, so that I could go back to the past and watch a Laker/Celtic game. It was in one-million-oople overtime (yes, it's a word, look it up) and the Lakers were finally up two. But it was then, when Larry Bird was going in for a three pointer, when Kobe Bryant came back from the future, and blocked it. It turned out Kobe wasn't only a world record breaking basketball player, but was also a time cop, so he grabbed me, gave me a million dollars to keep on the hush hush about this event (sorry, Kobe, that I broke our deal), and brought me back to the future. Little did I know that I left my homework on the seat, but when I realized it was too late, because Kobe broke my time machine, I couldn't get it back. By that time, it was 7:30 A.M., so I had to get to school. That was why I decided... I mean...couldn't do my homework. (Jordan H., class of 2008-2009)
I couldn't do my homework because my dad had a nervous breakdown and he cut it up to make paper dolls. I tried to tell him I needed it to "suceed in life" but he just started yelling about how clowns would take over the Earth one day. I took pity on him and surrendered it. *sigh*. I was very happy...I mean sad that I couldn't do the assignment, but you know how things go. (Sarah M., class of 2008-2009)
I was finally finished with my homework when a terrorist monkey walked into my room, grabbed my backpack and stole all my home work. "Yeah!" I mean "uh" . Then the terrorist monkey threw my backpack out the window and it landed in the trash can. Then the garbage truck came and dumped the trash in the garbage truck. After that I had to go to the dump and find my backpack. The monkey that stole my homework returned it..nnnnnnnnooooo. The mean terrorist monkey erased half of it. Then my goldfish grew 2 legs and ate my home work and all of my papers & nnnnnnnnnooooooo! Here it comes. (Michael N., class of 2008-2009)
