I heard that a kid whose dog ate his homework told the teacher and she never believed him. Kids in preschool don't get "the look" when they ask to be excused from the class because they have to go to the bathroom. Not the same when they get to 1st grade. My all time favorite excuse is the "I have to return the video tape" from American Psycho (Don't watch it) which unfortunately is no longer useful. If you think of excuses people make, there is a common motif that runs - separating oneself from the problem or mistakes. Excuses we make up are not always ridiculous and obvious. Some are clever, logical and often sincere in the person's mind. Paul deals with excuses the Corinthians are giving over a guy who's sleeping with his step-mother (1 Cor 4:17-6:8). They're good excuses. Really. 'Cause we still use them all the time.
