Transcript:
Caulfield: How was your trip to the keys? Miss Plainwell: Frazz got his swim in. Caulfield: Mr. Spaetzle wondered if that was the reason or an excuse. What is the difference between reason and an excuse? Miss Plainwell: Usually the expression of whoever is asking for it.
According to my grampa, there are good and bad excuses and reasons. The difference is, an excuse places cause on something outside of one’s control, whereas a reason is the act of taking responsibility of what happened. For example… I was late for work because of a car accident on the interstate(excuse); I was late for work because I didn’t leave early enough to compensate for potential delays(reason). Both are good and valid explanations, they only differ in where cause lies.Happy New Year,C.
