Also, should the whole story take place at school or should Arnold be at home , of course, talking to Pookie ( HA! I remembered it!) or Phil about the excuses?

I think it can be very funny scenes with Pookie and Phil

YAY! WHat do you think Pookie or Phil would say.

Pookie: karma my boy! karma!! clear your karma! don't lie!

Phil: Oh shortman! If I were you I'd say I had radiculitis.
Arnold: But grandpa I'm only yen!
Phil: Uh? Oh yeah, really. anyway I could devise smth.

(bah, dunno if it's funny...)

Well, what's radiculitis and smth? =P

What do you imply?

Radiculitis is the disease of a back when you can't straighten it.

"smth" - "something"

I meant
Phil: Uh? Oh yeah, really. Anyway I wouldn't stick in.

Oh . . . well I feel stupid.
Oh I get it. =P
Oh, sorry for some reason I feel like i'm becoming more slower.

Don't matter

So. . . what's next?

Thinking...
Well maybe the lie of students will be revealed?

*Gasp!*

at this point I got nothing.

For this moment I've gotten nothing to catch...

So the stories well done?
Here's whats up so far:
-Stinky makes an excuse for not doing his homework
-Simmons thinks it's an exellent way of expressing his ideas so he accepts his excuse
-Everyone , exept Helga, Arnold, Lila, and/or Pheobe dont make excuses
-One day Simmons says its enough
-The next day Abner eats Arnold's homework (or something else happens) and he gets in trouble
-A Series of unfortunate events
-Arnold asks advice from Gertie and Phil
-

I guess one thing to discuss is the ending. HELP!

I think that if Arnold's the one to innocently get in trouble, then he should be the one to not do excuses. I guess Helga might possibly be the kind of person to make up excuses, but like I said before, while under her sister's shadow, she might have a ton of pressure to get good grades. Lila and Phoebe could probably silently agree with Arnold, but they could be not so upfront with everyone.

As for the ending... how about somebody aside from Arnold sees that Abner ate his homework or something? In the end they could tell Mr. Simmons that Arnold's been telling the truth the whole time.

Well yeah he wont do many excuses but what he says is true and he, well says the truth but it's to outrageouse that it seems fake.
YAY! I think a random character at the boarding house should say it XD
I would lovev Oscar to be the one!

Well, I was thinking of Phil or Gertie xD But Oscar's ten times better!

Oskar's a lier himself so it will be kinda ironic XD and maybe it sorta could be Oskar's fault.
