    To be fair, it was a sad sentence to write. Poor kid 😉

    Ha! I am laughing out loud right now. That’s a great one! Does no red check after the second sentence mean the teacher didn’t count it? That would be so awful! Or maybe she did…first the question mark, and then the check mark over it shows some resignation there… 🙂

    It’s genius but I must point out, it is most definitely altered after the fact by someone other than the kid.

    But, it doesn’t take away from it being funny!
