Excuses are like assholes

Marisol was supposed to return yesterday to repay Alejandro for the money he wasted faxing her papers. She didn't (surprise!),and guess why! "Because of the weather forecast." Her SUV(which she had to have because she had a baybee)couldn't handle 1.5" of snow that fell overnight and 100% gone from the highway in the morning?! Why can't this bitch just say, "Since I was already in town, I decided to stay here for the weekend with Enrique instead of having him drive to my place on Saturday night and back to his business on Tuesday morning"? That is a perfectly reasonable plan. Why does she have to make up a excuse to do something that makes sense? And why does the excuse have to be so transparently lame?
