Something tumblr has taught me
“because of reasons” is always a legitimate reason
“because fuck you that’s why” is also acceptable
“for science” is a good excuse
don’t forget “the stars are not in position” as a perfect reason to not do something
“Not since the accident.” can be the answer to any question.you guys are leaving out “think of the children” as a way to persuade anybody to do something for you
