“My pickup was broken into and my backpack was stolen. My graphing calculator was in it. Does that mean I have to pay the fine for not turning in the calculator?”
“My parents took my backpack cause they thought I was stealing.”
“I had a student tell me their dog ate their homework…I kid you not she showed me a picture and I was convinced.”

The attendance secretary Nikole Huber has heard it all!

“YOLOSWAG, but in all seriousness, Physical Therapy.”

“My alarm is trying to be a counselor by keeping me and my bed together”

“My alarm failed my poor soul, it turns out that I’ll need a new one. Anywho, I’ll be right to class now.”

“Sorry I’m late. I saw a picture of the sun wearing sunglasses and spent almost an hour trying to figure out what he was shielding his eyes from.”

“Pod racer broke down. Lost the race to Anakin.”

“Because I’m sick and feel like Crayola.”

“Querría una burrito pero, no recibí una burrito. Soy triste.”

“The poor child I give rides to has a serious issue with waking up at the appropriate time.”

“I HAD TO TURN OFF MY LIGHTS BECAUSE I FORGOT TO AND NOW MY CAR IS DEAD AND I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPS.”

“I have no control of anything anymore.”

“Dreamt I was in Narnia. Enjoyed it 110%.”
