I have a note from my doctor

I have a note from my mother

I have a note from my doctor's mother...

I was here, but I had an "invisible" attack yesterday

Two words - "Alien abduction"

My goldfish died and I had to bury him at sea

My hair hurt

I was in a tree all day hanging out with the bats

I was undercover

My dog ran away from home and we had to go look for him

I was visiting relative on my own planet

I really must look at the controls on my time travel machine, I could have swore it was yesterday...
