Basically, this is any child character explaining to his teacher why he hasn't done his homework. This will be either a lie, which may or may not be believed, or a [[Cassandra Truth]]. If it is the latter, expect them to also bring in the evidence proving their case (such as moist bits from homework, or even the animal itself.) The most common variant involves a dog, but other animals can be used as well.
