Favorite lines for being late to class included, “I was attacked by a wild elephant”, “the phone pole jumped out in the middle of the street” and “they sent me home to shave”
My favorite very old cartoon on the subject of kids, school and excuses featured the principal addressing the teacher, as the kid looks on. The caption reads: “I’m afraid we owe him an apology. There really was a lion in his bathtub this morning.” (No idea who created it, or from which of my many cartoon books it might have come from — or if I even still have that book.)
As for Trout’s dialogue in panel two, did she really cave that quickly under pressure? Or did she just know perfectly well that Agnes’ nonsense wasn’t going to fly, so she decided to get out of the way?
Agnes has yet to grasp the concept that a good lie includes as much truth as possible. If she needs an inch of wiggle-room, she’ll take ninety-one light-years.
