So the reason that Tanaka stayed home today was because his grandmother died? Didn't he say that last month, and the month before that, too? Skipping is one thing, but I'd like him to at least come up with a better excuse than that.
今日の田中君が休んだ理由は、おばあさんが亡くなったって？確か先月も先々月もそう言ってなかったか？ずる休みするにしても、もう少しましな理由はないのかね。
