Excuses originate in many ways depending on different situations. Usually, we think excuses are bad because people don’t like to admit their failures but sometimes things are not like that. Here is a story about a good excuse is in kind:
When I was young, my family is not rich as same as it is now, our family often need to think about how to save money in daily life. As a kid, I love to eat fish like my parents. Every time we have lunch together, they would like to cook a fish for me and they always say “ I don’t like to eat the body and I will eat the head.” I eat the fish body every day because I just thought they love the fish head until one day when I really taste a fish head, there are too many sticks in it that I can’t eat it well. I realize the truth is that they don’t love to eat heads, they just love me. That’s how parents love us quietly and how good excuses work.
I hope this story can give you some inspiration and hope you are doing well.
Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!
A question from Quora.
Where do excuses originatcome from?
"Where do excuses originate?" also works but it's formal and makes it sound like an essay. "come from" sounds more natural for this kind of writing.

"about a good excuse is in kind" doesn't make sense, so I tried to guess what you wanted to say.
When I was young, my family is not rich as same as it is now, our family often need to think about how towas poorer than it is now, and often worried about saveing money in daily life.
As a kid, I love tod eating fish like, and so did my parents.
Every time we haved lunch together, they would like to cook a fish for me and they would always say “ I don’t like to eating the body and I will. I'd rather eat the head.” I eat the fish body every day because I just thought they love the fish head until one day when I really taste a fish head, there are too many sticks in itSo every day I ate the body and gave them the head; then one day I tried a fish head and realised that I can’ouldn't eat it wellbecause of all the bones.
I realized the truth is that: they don’idn't love to eating the heads, they just loved me.
That’s how parents love us quietly and how goodmaking excuses workcan be kind.

Thank you for the story, I enjoyed it very much! I think you should focus on tenses: you often use the present tense even though you are telling a story about something that happened in the past.
One other thing to bear in mind is that you are mixing together an "excuse" and a "lie".
"I was late because the train didn't come" is an excuse, to avoid admitting that you did something wrong. "I like eating the heads, not the body" is a lie. A "good excuse" means an effective excuse that makes somebody believe that whatever went wrong really wasn't your fault. A "white lie" is a lie that you tell in order to be kind, like the one in your story.

Use the past tense for this sentence because you said you used to poor. Therefore it happened in the past
As a kid, I love to eat fish just like my parents.
Adding "just" makes this sound better.
Every time we haved lunch together, they would like to cook a fish for me and they would always say “ I don’t like to eat the body andso I will eat the head.” I eate the fish body every day because I just thought they loved the fish head u. Until, one day when I really tasted a fish head, and realised there awere too many stickbones in it that I can’t eat it welland they were difficult to eat.
I have split this sentence into two sentences since it was a little too long.
Since these events happened in the past make sure you use the past tense.
I realized the truth is that; they doidn’t love to eat fish heads, they just loved me.
This sounds more natural. I have used a ; to seperate the two ideas, it makes your writing seem more dramatic when used in this sentence. This sentence should also be in the past tense.
That’s how parents show their love us quietly and how good excuses workcan be used for good.
I hope this story can give you someis inspirationing and I hope you are doing well.
I have changed this sentence from the passive voice to the active voice.
Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!

Great work! The quality of your writing keeps improving. I think this was the most accurate piece of your writing I have read so far. The main aspect of your writing to work on at the moment is using the past tense. I loved your story it was very inspiring and seems like a special memory you have of your family. Keep up the great work!
