The letter we all wish our dad had written to school
A chap called Seann Walsh shared this letter his dad wrote to his school after he got into trouble over his school uniform and his sweater was confiscated.
A letter from my dad to a teacher during my school years. I think the appropriate emojis are 😂 and 🙈. “Life’s hard enough” 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/CouOv26etw

If that’s tricky to read …
‘Dear Mr Field
Sean tells me that you have confiscated his sweater. He tells me that in class he conforms to the school uniform. He was absent from school on Monday because he had a cold, so travelling on Wednesday without his sweater was not too clever.
He told me that the jacket he normally wears is acceptable, but it was stained, therefore he could not wear it. His mother was in Cyprus last week on a break and I, unfortunately, was not able to use the washing machine.
Sean was too embarrassed at having a father who cannot use a washing machine to say this.
Anyway my point is: Isn’t this just a little bit petty? Life’s hard enough.
Regards …’
And we love it on so many levels.
THERE’S SO MANY GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS 🙂

This is all kinds of amazing. Including the use of FAX (!!) or a fax word template 👏🏻

What a great dad… in spite of his laundry ineptitude.

Except one thing stood out.
The saddest part is that even your Dad can’t spell your name…

The second n is an affectation?

At 16, American Pie was my favourite film. Stifler was my favourite character played by Seann William Scott. The extra N was born. Do I regret it? Yes

Not even his dad could help with that.
