I swear, just when I thought I'd heard some silly-ass excuses from SS13, I heard the silliest one yet recently. So, he's on restriction from pretty much anything electronic until the next grading period ends (or until BM gets tired of hearing him whine and gives them back to him...so maybe another week) because he got a D in Spanish. DH said, "What happened that you got a D in Spanish?" Naturally the knee-jerk response was, "I don't know." So DH asked him again, telling him this time he'd better give a different answer, so SS13 said, "Because I didn't do all the work." DH said, "Why would you just not do the work?" SS13 straight-up said, "Because I thought it would be okay if I didn't do the work." I didn't say anything, but I was like, are you serious?!? You honestly think, SS13, that teachers give out work because they don't CARE if you do it, and if you just decide to opt out, that somehow, by some miracle, you'll still get decent grades? "I thought it would be okay if I didn't do the work." *facepalm* The other great one was when he got detention for fighting, and he said he hit the other kid because he was "confused." Then, when DH asked him what he was "confused" about, he couldn't give him a straight answer, so DH was like, "I think you were confused by the definition of 'confused.' What you were was 'angry' and 'wrong' since you don't beat people up for silly reasons, and you're always the one throwing the first punch." This is funny, too, because he's hands down one of the smallest kids in his grade, next year he'll be going to high school, and he can never finish what he starts. He's about to have his ass handed to him when he moves up to the big-leagues. Let's see what kind of silly shit he comes up with then.
