Top Ten reasons Betsy Klaus does not come to school

1.) Laziness - Betsy is best known for her lackadaisical attitude toward important things such as school work.
2.) Sickness - Betsy is also well known for her mysterious illnesses. Nosebleeds, headaches, and sore ankles are just a few of her classic excuses.
3.) Trying to get suspended - My personal favorite, why would someone want to be suspended? Betsy has your answer; a three day vacation off of school.
4.) Forgetfulness - Often have the words "is it really Monday?" flowed from Betsy's mouth. Yes Betsy, there are only two days each weekend.
5.) Car Troubles - Betsy has wrecked more cars than the past three years of NASCAR has combined. When asked about this, her response is simple, "It's not my fault"
6.) Distance - "People don't realize how far Danvers really is from Olympia. Honestly, sometimes i have to pack a snack just so i don't die of starvation on my way to school." Betsy Klaus, October 2007
7.) Gas Prices - I actually can't blame her for this. Gas is getting unpredictably expensive these days, and with Betsy's driving habits, the cost is sending her to the poor house.
8.) Laziness - Had to be listed twice. Seriously, Garfield is more active than Betsy some days.
9.) Daylight Savings Time - Betsy, contrary to popular acceptance, does not observe daylight savings time. To her, it's actually 4am on a saturday when school starts on monday.
10.) SARS - Betsy has SARS, we're working on a cure.
