Explain yourself

One of my readers asked me to write about the difference between reason and excuse. I'm not sure what his reason was, but I tried to make an excuse to get out of doing it.

A reason is "a rational motive for an action" while an excuse is "a justification of behavior".

So reason means you have a good excuse while excuse means you can't come up with a good reason.
