Alright, I know I'm not the only one who comes up with excuses. Sometimes, it's easier to come up with a little white lie than to tell the truth. I know, I know. I'm a horrible person. It's petty, it's terrible, and it's me. I'm also NOT the one who knocked over the tree in the cover photo, it was definitely the wind.

1. “I only run and scream when I see a bee because I’m allergic”

I'm "allergic" and they're terrifying.

2. “Oh, I’m not picky, I’m just allergic to everything in that wrap except the tortilla, chicken, and cheese.”

Allergies are the answer to everything.

3. “I can’t go on a date with you because my dad only lets me date people that he knows.”

Even my dad laughed at this one.

4. “I’m late to class because my mom is crazy and stole my keys because the roads are bad”

I really stopped and got pizza. Priorities.

5. “Thank you for my gift, I love it! I forgot yours at home..”

I say this way too often and I'm only lying half of the time.

6. “Yes, it was delicious!”

Said after I fed my food to their dog.

7. “Sorry, I can't go. I have to babysit my siblings.”

They’re 16 and 14. LOL.

8. “Sorry, I was working!”

But who hasn't used this as an excuse?

9. "I already ate."

I really mean, "this food looks gross". I'm a picky person, I can't help it! If you know me, I hardly ever say "no" to food.

10. "I definitely wasn't the one who ate that entire bag of candy."

Let's be real.. it's always me.

11. “I had to skip our mandatory class because of a family emergency!”

I probably forgot.. or just didn't want to go.

12. "I got a new phone, who is this?"

If we're being honest, I haven't had a new phone in years. In reality, I probably just don't have your number saved. Oops.
