Schoolboy wins the internet with his “no school” note to mom

Some children will go to extraordinary lengths to miss out on a school day. While others succeed, some might try and try again until they get it right.

Take this school pupil who used a bit of creative licence to get out of class by giving his mother a note from his “teacher,” saying there would be no school the next day.

It’s a cute attempt, considering a few words were scratched out and misspelt. Still, he deserves an A+ for merely going through with his master plan.

The note was then uploaded to TikTok by his parent (@puleng891) and shared with her 1K followers, explaining that there would be school due to teacher training.

Thankfully, his mom had a bit of a laugh and captioned the post: “My son doesn’t want to go to school tomorrow so he wrote us this letter pretending to be the teacher.”

When a fellow TikToker commented, “This one will make his own report card, be on the lookout,” the little boy’s mother jokingly responded: “I told his father and he thinks I’m joking.”

Despite his best attempts to stay home, his parents weren’t giving up. But the upside is that he seemed to have gained a legion of fans, including one who wrote: “Allow him to stay at home just this one time. Just for him to think he won. I want him to show us more of his tricks.”

All in all, online users had a big laugh. Hopefully, his parents went easy on him and let this one slide.
