Me earlier today: “Sorry, I’m late. I lost track of time reading French faerie tales.”
At least I was meeting up to buy books so it was semi-understandable.
What’s a bizarre reason you’ve been late?
What? No (hopefully translated) book recs? 🧚
My bizarre reason would probably be “absurdly long time chasing a kid and convincing them to get a diaper change.”
The timeframe had a very “the dog ate my homework” sort of sense to it as far as the unbelievable part that any reasonable person would assume something else had to have happened when in fact no. 🫠🙈
That story about the tortoise sounds fascinating!
