It was an away game and the bus let the coach off in "town" because that's where he lived, and the sports trainer, who happened to be a senior, accompanied the team and cheerleaders back to the school. I tried calling my mom, but could get in touch with her. I figured she was on the way to pick me up. The sports trainer said he had to get home because it was getting late. I told him I was sure that my mom was on her way. WRONG. I thought about pulling the fire alarm, but decided I might get in trouble. I also thought about walking to the farm house next to the school, but remembered I was in the country and farmers shoot things outside in the night. So I just layed on top of the radiator and bided my time until the cooks came in at about 5:30 the next morning. Needless to say, I had an excused absence for the day and the school superintendent remembers it to this day.
What what your mom's excuse?
