Missing school? Sometimes a funny excuse note is the way to go
Ah, the excuse note. A powerful little document with the magical power to grant forgiveness for many a scholastic transgression. They are sacred things, those notes, an inevitable part of school life: written, handed in and then forgotten. But sometimes a note is different — sometimes it stands out. Let’s take a look at some funny excuse notes for missing school that made enough of an impact that the teacher-recipients had to share them. And remember, the misspellings and grammar problems were in the original note.
Our favorite funny excuses for missing school
