       He glared at me with a stale look on his face. I could tell he was not buying my excuse.

      "Tell me more," He growled.

      I continued. "After I finished my route I was clubbed over the head by a tree trunk while walking back."

       "So," He spouted out, impatient with my excuses.

       I took a deep breath and finished the rest of my explanation. "By the time I got to school." I inhaled one more large gust of air. "I forgot I had left my homework on the kitchen counter back at home."
