“My Roomba® ate my tablet”

Here’s my homework but you can see that the dog broke the screen

Especially since she doesn’t have a dog.

A virus erased my homework.

My bird got on the tablet and deleted it. Seriously, he keeps trying to buy things in my games, and butt dials my son.

And her digital tablet looks just like an apple?? Talk about in your face product placement.

My dog peed on my tablet.

Let’s upgrade the dog excuse to ransomware deleted my homework.

The battery died.

Take two tablets and call your dog in the morning.

Hey, it could happen! If it’s a Rottweiler or something, it could destroy just about anything.

The dog peed on my tablet.

“Well, I did a save, but darned if I know where it saved it. See if you can find it”

Um maybe a virus ate her homework ?

I used to work customer service for the local cable company. A lady called saying her dog peed on the box and she tried to wash it off. Now her TV wasn’t working. I told her to bring it in and exchange it for another box. I told her they usually reuse the boxes but that one will probably be thrown away. I wonder if that was an editorial comment by the dog as to what was on TV. The dog was lucky it wasn’t electrocuted.

no, the dogs slobber short circuited it. ;)

To be fair, “My dog ate my homework” doesn’t work any more, either…

Hurricane mutters….dog gone it!

Seems a better and more realistic excuse now is “dog chewed my charging cable”

Hattie then asks, “what is a do gate?”…

Love how the teacher addresses her as Hurricane. First time I recall seeing HH hatless!

More bad puns…. love it! Can’t wait to try them on the grandkids. ; )

Shouldn’t have warned her, it would be interesting to see how she uses that excuse.

Also, with the use of tablets, it’s harder to make spitballs.

I’m sure that she will have the upgraded excuse of a digital virus ate her assignment AND homework……

I remember when the computer ate my homework, erased 1/3 of them document and scrambled the grammar on the rest it took 2 hours and a computer expert to recover the 2/3 of the document that was scrambled. A tablet could easily do the same

She will find a way. Maybe “my brother downloaded so many games…”

The dog ate your charger.

oops! i dropped my tablet…

Or the dog wetted my tablet and now it doesn’t work.

My tablet is sick. It caught a virus.

“My internet went down” will be the new excuse. But that one might be easier to check with Mom and Dad.
