I just came across these funny excuse notes and really wanted to share them with you all.
Please execute me if this is not the right place to post this topic.


Real excuse notes from parents (with their original spelling) collected by schools from all over the country:

1. My son is under a doctor's care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute him.

2. Please excuse Lisa for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.
