Clarification needed.


Recommended Posts

When does an explanation of why you did something become an excuse?

Example....

 

Teacher: Johnny why did you take the eraser off the chalkboard?

Johnny: I wanted to dust it off for you!

Teacher: That's no excuse.

 

Johnny was explaining his motives, yet the teacher took it as an excuse for what he did.

Ever happen to you in your life?

It actually was a pretty good excuse.
Unless she saw him fling it out the window.

O.K..... lets try this answer:

 

Johnny:  because thats where it was.   If it had been on the floor, I would have picked it up.

If it had been sitting in the window sill, I would have taken it from there.

 

Then Johnny can ask the teacher:   Why do you put gas in your car?

Teacher:  so it will power it up and take me places.

Johnny:   That's no excuse.
