As Far As Excuses Go…

...this one was pretty good.

I told The Boy to do a chore this morning.  After a while, I noticed that the chore was not complete and The Boy was nowhere to be found.  I hollered down the stairs for The Boy. 

No answer.

I hollered again.

No answer.

I hollered again and started down the stairs.  Suddenly he comes running up and asks what I need.  I tell him that he needs to finish his chore and asked him what he was doing. 

He says, “[Daughter #3] was reading the Bible to me.”

Um, OK, I can let that slide.  Now finish the chore.

  1. Is that book really apporpriate for children? Seriously, even if you believe it, it’s pretty violent and has some barbaric ideas in it.

  2. Agreed.

    Meanwhile, the boy seems to have learned a valuable lesson: how to manipulate dad!  smile

  3. You should get them a copy of The Golden Compass for Christmas.  That’s a better book for kids.

  4. Next time your son tries that excuse, ask him which Bible book, chapter, and verses.  Then ask your daughter if she had been reading the Bible to her brother. cool smirk
