As a parent of two kids over the years I've had to write several notes for the kids to take to school. Sometimes, if I can, I'll just call the school. Eventually, however, some kind of note will have to be written. Usually, and almost without fail, I get reminded in the five minute window between the time I'm scrambling to get everything I need to take with me in the morning and the time we actually head out the door.
So, you can imagine that I don't proofread the notes. I just scribble something on a scrap of paper. I can only hope that the end result that is read by someone at the school doesn't find my scribblings as illegible or stupid as the one's I found today.
A few hilarious examples:
- Please exkuce lisa for being absent she was sick and i had her shot.
- Carlos was absent yesterday because he was playing football. He was hurt in the growing part.
- Please excuse pedro from being absent yesterday. He had (diahre, dyrea, direathe), the sh**s. [note: words in ( )'s were crossed out] .
- Sally won't be in school a week from friday. We have to attend her funeral.
- Gloria was absent yesterday as she was having a gangover.
These are so funny. Gave me a good laugh. :)
That's so funny. I look forward to writing those for my son. I've got a few years.
