Got caught with some kratom (I had been away and it came in the mail while I was gone). I just explained that it was to help me sleep, and was pretty much let off the hook.
Another time (actually the day before, I think, haha), I had had a pack of clove cigarettes in my jacket pocket, forgot about them, took off the jacket, and left it downstairs (where my family is most of the time). Too late, I realized what had happened and rushed downstairs to find that the pack was missing. I asked if my mom had seen it, and she said she had. I said that they were my friend's and he had told me to hold on for them for a bit and said that I could have one, and I did.
She seemed somewhat relieved, actually, since I guess before then she hadn't been sure what they were from. (The story was false, though quite believable given the friend in question.)
Not a "getting caught" story, but close enough; my family was gone at some party or something, and I was standing on the porch smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone. My mom suddenly pulls up the drive in the car and walks to the porch. I had thankfully set the cigarette down on the railing, and just stood in front of it (though it was still lit and I'm sure there was a visible smoke sidestream). She said that she thought she was sick, and that's why she came home. Incredibly, she didn't see or smell the smoke. I have no idea how that happened, but I was so shaky and nervous afterward.
