Girl Attempts To Extend Vacation With Letter To Mom: 'The School Compnay Is Taking A Brake'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- We all know how hard it can be to go back to work or school after an extended break.

One girl decided to take matters into her own hands by planting a letter in the mail and telling her mom that she has another week off from school.

The mother wrote on Reddit, "My daughter got the mail today (it's Sunday) apparently they have another week off from school."

The girl's letter said, "The school compnay is taking a brake so the kids will get one more week of school off and we will need your child to sign their name here."

The girl then signed her name and even provided a stamp, you know to make it official.

Reddit users soon started sharing similar stories of their own.

"I did something similar as a young kid, and thought I was so clever. I signed my teachers name at the bottom and everything. My mom read the letter, then asked me if I would do her a quick favor. She asked me to go grab the dictionary and look up the definition of "forgery". I'd never felt so defeated in my life."

Another user writes, "This kid is going places...specifically school tomorrow."
