Making up excuses will only complicate things. Just be honest to your mom and tell her before she starts looking for it.She may be upset about it but I'm sure she will appreciate your honesty.I'm a mom and I always tell my daughter that I want her to be truthful at all times.Lying would just get you into deeper trouble.
Just tell her,say you're sorry and give her a hug.I'm sure she'll understand.
By the way,make sure she's in a good mood when you tell her.

Tell her the truth! Mothers don't like being lied to .
My son lost his cell phone once and the person that found it checked the contact
numbers and seen Mom on his phone and called me to tell me they had found his phone , and where I could go to pick it up . So maybe something like that will happen with yours. Or maybe the person who finds it might try to make alot of long distant phone calls on it , so your mother might need to report it lost so she isnt charged for any extra calls that you didnt make . Yeah it's alot better just to tell the truth .

I think you should tell your mom the truth. As a mother myself, I can honestly say that things go a lot smoother on my children when they don't lie to me. I may be angry, yes. I may punish them. But if they lie to me, the consequences will be much harsher. And no matter what they tell me, I always end up finding out the truth anyway. So even if they try to lie to me, they don't succeed. Just tell your mom what happened.

I don't know how many times I have sat down on the floor with mine in my back pocket and it squished out. Or it's just squished out other times too. I lost mine at a concert once. I was in the general admission area and was getting way too hot so I had one of the security guards lift me over the fence and somewhere in that action my phone popped out and I never even missed it until after the show when I was trying to call the friend I was staying with.

Just say the truth. Excuses can make your mom a lot angrier. Believe me, the truth will set you free.

Tell her the truth is your only way. She would be angry at first, but it is sure that she could forgive your mistake. Dont give her excuse just tell her truth. She is your mother and she loves you best.

do you take it to school with you. just tell your mom what you put it in your locker during gym class and someone took it out of there. she would never expect you to take it to gym class with you. it is too easy for it to get broke. that is what i would say

In reading other responses and comments, I see that you've already decided to tell your mom the truth. Good :) It's the right thing to do. Further to that, though, you might want to tell her that you will help with the cost of a replacement phone -- either through money that you might have saved or by giving up a regular allowance or whatever ways and means you have to generate spending money :) (By your concern about telling your mom, I assume she bought the phone and pays for your expenses?) Anyway, it would show her that you are trying to be mature and taking responsibility, in addition to being honest. Good luck!
