A Welsh father, from Cardiff, delighted social media users after pranking his children with a fake note from 10 Downing Street declaring school would return seven days a week after the coronavirus pandemic
Sharing the hilarious note in a now-viral tweet, he revealed: ‘My youngest has been banging on about “prank week” and has been royally pranking us all day.
‘Little does she know, her father is the prank master. Both of them panicking now, the bonus is that their sadness has brought a hush into the house.’
The note, which had been crafted with meticulous detail including the Downing Street address and Boris Johnson’s signature read: ‘Unfortunately, with your child staying at home this means your child may have missed over 50+ days of school by the time we return to normality.’
It continued: ‘For this reason, when the schools reopen, we will quickly make up for lost time by not only teaching your children from Monday to Friday, but also making it compulsory for your child to attend school on Saturday and Sundays for the first 6 months.
The father revealed the note he had shown his children, declaring it is ‘compulsory for children to attend school on Saturdays and Sundays’
‘This may be extended subject to when the schools return.’
He added: ‘My eldest (11) has her friends on a speakerphone group chat, she’s sent it to them, words like “it’s mandatory” are being shrieked out. This is the best day ever.’
He continued: ‘My other half and I are discussing how to kill time when they go back to school on the weekends.
‘Openly debating about going to funfairs and the beach before picking them up from school.’
Later, he shared a snap of his children as they desperately searched through the internet and contacted friends to see if the news could possibly be true.
