Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb." Because a sheep is bigger and has more meat, so if you are going to steal , steal big. In this case, be late a lot since you will be late. The same idea as my favorite, which my dad used a lot when I was a kid. "If you are going to be a bear, be a grizzly."

Is it "I may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb"?
The meaning, from http://www.bartleby.com:
If the punishment is the same, then it is worth the risk to commit the offence which brings the greatest profit.

Rillaf is right...if you an Ozzy...
In other words, she going to get into trouble for being late by 20 minutes, may as well make it for half hour....(wont make any difference to the amount of telling off she will get)......
Tell her for me....You..Go Girl !!...haha
