A classic example of a “teacher” writing to a parent about the vital need for a child to bone up on video games. Look it’s even got two bold exclamation points!! Totally legit.

When little kids fake messages from their teacher or from one parent to the other or from an imaginary pony, it’s pretty flippin’ transparent. Children are like sponges, but sponges aren’t exactly high on the intellectual food chain. So, in their little minds, they tend to think they’ve created the absolute perfect counterfeit.

I’m not sure if my 5yo son actually intended for my wife to believe it was me. It doesn’t seem so, but he’s tried that before. “Mommy, I just talked to Daddy and he told me I have to play Minecraft for all day long. He really means it. Don’t ask him, though.”

This was probably more about pouring her a pint of flattery with an emoji chaser, but it occurred to me that swiping unattended phones and texting is a new, modern-day version of kids forging letters. What a world, eh?
