My Homework Excuse

True Story.

This morning I was driving my husband's car to work. It's an old, used up Pontiac held together by bungee cords.

The roads were wet. When I hit the breaks for a yellow light at a busy intersection, the car spun out of control.

I didn't hit anyone, but the centrifugal force from the spin opened the back doors and all of the papers I was supposed to grade blew out. Some sheep registration certificates were lost too, I now realize.

I surveyed the long black skid marks and my students' papers flying over the highway. And then I put the car back into drive, got into the right lane,  and went to work.
