What is the best excuse you’ve heard lately?
Honestly, I think excuses deserve their own Hall of Fame. 🏆
Some people have talent.
Some have degrees.
And then there are those who can invent an excuse faster than Google loads.
One of my all-time favorites?
“I was going to reply… but I forgot.”
Forgot?
Interesting.
You remembered to post four stories,
liked twenty-seven reels,
commented “Awwww so cuteee 😍” on your friend’s vacation photos,
and somehow…
my message slipped into another dimension.
Technology has advanced.
Apparently selective memory has too. 🤭
Then comes the classic.
“I’m too busy.”
Which usually means…
“I’m busy doing literally everything except the thing I promised you.”
No judgment.
I’ve used that one too.
Usually while rearranging my bookshelf,
watering plants that didn’t ask for water,
or convincing myself that watching just one reel is practically self-care.
Forty-eight reels later…
I’m somehow researching the emotional life of penguins. 🐧😂
The truth is…
The best excuses aren’t the ones we tell other people.
They’re the ones we whisper to ourselves.
“I’ll start on Monday.”
“Five more minutes.”
“This is the last episode.”
“I’ll call them tomorrow.”
Poor Monday.
It arrives every week with so much hope…
only to discover it’s been blamed for our laziness since the beginning of time. 😂
So here’s my question…
What’s the best excuse you’ve heard lately?
The funniest one?
The weirdest one?
Or the one that was so convincing… you almost believed it yourself?
No judgment.
Because deep down…
we’re all honorary members of the International Association of Professional Excuse Makers. 🤝😌
Just don’t say…
“Sorry, I didn’t see your message.”
In 2026.
With Read Receipts ON.
Now that deserves an Oscar. 🏆😂🤍🦋
.
Until the next whisper… 🤍
With love,
Rajeshwari 🧿💕
