A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for a homework assignment.
After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:
Dear Ms. Davis,
I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.
Mrs. Harrington
That’s pretty funny, I almost didn’t read the second part.
More like the HOEDepot!!!!
fake
Well, that’s a very convenient explanation
This is most definitely from a late night talk show. Not drawn by a kid, but a well paid 30-something script writer.
The gag is funny, though. Well worth the pay check.
Faaaake, but would be funny if it were real.
Cheered us up no end. Our office heating went down this morning so a few laughs have warmed us up
LOL
This was absolutely hysterical. Had to share it with others. You cannot make this stuff up.T Thanks!
That is very funny. Not much unlike my wife Mette, although she dances at a stripclub these days (after participating in a dance-show on tv, she suddenly had this bright job offer).
Goes well with my politics.
I am a father of two first graders and it does not look fake… but If I were the mother I would have gone to school and talked to the teacher to clear things up and have a laugh, not send a note. Anyways it is too funny,
LMAO
How do these people know this is fake? Sure, it could be fake. But I want to know how these folks are certain of it.
That was funny!!!!
I’ve seen this picture before and thought it was funny. First time I’ve seen the explanation about it which makes it even funnier.
It’s obviously fake because no 1st grader uses ” …” pause expressions. I don’t think you learn such an advance writing technique until high school.
People don’t know it’s fake, they just see fakes everywhere. It’s an easy explanation for everything these days. Anyways, very funny!
I wouldn’t say it was fake due to age and a … in it. My the age of 5, my grandmother had me reading novels and writing in cursive. She did not believe in “average” children and pushed me hard to be what was considered an “acceptable” child to be related to her.
It was meant to make people laugh don’t analaze it folks lighten up!!!!!!!
If you’re going to make a fake picture, at least make it believable. That printing obviously doesn’t belong to a first grader.
But funny, none the less
I sure couldn’t write like that when I was in grade one. My mom kept a scrapbook of my grade one work and there is no way. Got to be fake but still pretty funny.
Fake or real – it doesn’t matter it’s still extremely funny..
So funny, thanks.
This reminds me of a joke I read in Reader’s digest a long time ago, under that section that contains realy life jokes about people’s jobs. It was something like, a woman was a sales person and she sell stuff outdoors. Her daughter was asked by her teacher that what her mother does and she said that her mother works on the street. Teacher then asked to explain and the child said “Oh she has her customers”. Etc etc.
fake
It`s very funny, but I think not real?!
Thanks!
I teach first grade and we taught “…” as part of our writing unit. And yes, many first graders have sloppy handwriting, but I have a few who write like this. It could be real or fake in my opinion, doesn’t really matter.
