Tell them you were too exhausted from the giant orgy you took part in last night and you couldn't feel your legs when you woke up. Worked for me once. :P

Tell them the truth, and then tell them that you gave yourself self punishment for missing school and then clean the house up so it's nice and clean. That may save you some sort of grounding if you get off your lazy butt and do something productive since you missed school.

They really can't be that mad at you if you went and cleaned the whole house/made all the beds/cleaned all the toilets and showers/baths.

Truth generally be better, explain why, get yelled at, but at least you know how and why. Although if your parents are the "Throw you through the walls" type, well, feel free to tell the truth after putting on padded clothing.

Although my attendance at high school was around 60% of all classes, and at University it dropped to 10%. I hated class, but liked learning. Class was full of stupid people who would take 1 hour to learn a 3 minute lesson.

 The idea was to actually do the work, not use it as a lie.... XD

 I was homeschooled from 1st-12th grade and had schoolwork every day and could never miss school. I never even had a snow day or a delay. However, I usually didn't start till noon, and got done by 4:00. If you plan on going to college its worth it putting the work in today, as my University paid for 5 full years of school before I decided to stop taking their money and get a real job, and now my work is paying for my last 1.5 years there.

 Whatever, have fun today and don't get in to much trouble

Tell them you have a confession to make... That you did heroin the previous week and knocked up this teenage druggy.. she's pregnant and she wants to keep the baby and is going to ask for $$.

Then when their jaw drops tell them your kidding and that you overslept and missed class and apologize. If your birthday is coming up then you could joke and say that you need an another alarm clock..

I went to my last lesson in the end because iv got my mock A S levels in two days for that subject. The way i see it is that oversleeping is my body daying "go on you deserve a break" XD

Come to my office 8:25 am tommorrow morning.
Skipping lessons will not be torelated.

AH, too funny!

go study what u missed :o

O_o? whats your age? in college no one cares if you skip a class :P. (when i was in college 2 year ago that is)
