The Slice
THE SLICE
Hey, kids, here’s a warning from your old pal Uncle Slice.
If you try to partially unwrap Christmas presents to see what you are getting, there’s a chance you will get caught. Fortunately for you, though, the adult world offers plenty of tried-and-true excuses you can borrow.
“It was an unfortunate reaction to a medication I was taking.”
“Mistakes were made.”
“Our accounting firm appears to have been in error.”
“Before I respond, I need to consult with my pastor.”
“I was under a great deal of stress and had been drinking.”
“I would love to address these allegations. But on advice of counsel, I am not at liberty to comment at this time.”
And so on. Of course, you might want to reject adult excuses and simply fall back on a kids-world classic.
“The dog did it.”
