Here is a top 9 list of excuses (yes these are real as reported by several youth leaders) that parents have used for not letting their kids go on a trip.
Which is the best? You be the judge.
9. "The late-night activities are past my child's bedtime."
8. "My child is constipated."
7. "We are vegetarians."
6. "We just saw the rule about not being able to bring alcohol and tobacco products."
5. "My daughter's small group leader freaks her out-- she's too calm and nice."
4. "My son just found out he is afraid of nature."
3. "I don't trust religious people."
2. "There is no tornado plan in the information you sent."
And the number one reason ... of all time ... of excuses parents have used to not let their kids go on a trip ...
is.....
1. "A LION ESCAPED FROM THE ZOO!!"
Our thanks to Group Magazine for this list!!
Enjoy and feel free to give ones that are better....
