Just Fake Her Handwriting!
FOUND by Seth Poppy in Perth Amboy, New Jersey
I work for a touring puppet company and, as a result, often spend time in elementary schools. I found this note on the cafeteria floor where we'd set up our stage for an afternoon show. I'm guessing this is either a rough draft of a forgery, or that Mrs. Hernandez needs to brush up on her spelling.

Actually, as a kid I ran into this problem a number of times. My family is from Colombia and my mom had never been to school when we moved here and so if I needed her to write me a note people always thought I had forged it since my mom's writing and mine were about the same level.

Yeah, on the odd occasion I had to get my dad to write a note, he would always add 'Any problems, just call on: XXX'. He can only write semi-legibly in small caps, so you can imagine the issues we had until the school adjusted!

My mom was "special" and sometimes she called herself "hernandez" and when we asked her to prove it she would just hum "amazing grace", so I get it.

this reminds me of a time I overheard a conversation between two girls at school. They were talking about a mutual friend and how she had called in to the school pretending to be her mom. The secretary asked who she was after she made the excuse and she answered, "I'm My mom". I could not stop laughing, it was so hilarious, hearing about a highschool student saying something like that, I almost fell out of my desk. xD

In high school I once skipped school and the secretary called to see if I was excused and I answered the phone all positive and she said.. "I'm just calling to see if you have a good reason for now coming to school today" and I quicky changed my voice to a sick lady... "cough cough... yeah, I am sick."

I was excused. Gives you an idea of what kind of school I went to.

Flargy, play in g hooky too
She has a stomach aid? Like Tums?
I didn't know Tums could hurt.
My next brilliant bumper sticker idea:

"Tums Have Feelings Too!"

Who's gonna buy one?
