The BestEST lame excuse - to top EVEN the Best lame excuse. EVER

This morning I heard the children in the lounge watching tv. EARLY in the morning. I came through to find the boys, wrapped in their individual "blankies", lounging in chairs around the room.

Me: (In a stern voice) Boys, do you not remember what Daddy said would happen if you came out of your room....?

Monk: But I wasn't really here....

Ah yes. Sorry. Clearly it was your astral self.
