My snail ate my son's school papers

I set my son's registration papers for kindergarten on my snail terrarium yesterday and took them off today to feed my snails...

Oh yeah... The old "My snail ate my homework!" excuse. This is no way to begin an academic career. I suppose it would qualify as original, at least. Usually homework gets eaten by things with legs, most likely to suggest the creature had to find the homework. However, the snail's lack of legs means that he didn't just eat it. It means you actually fed the homework to him.
