Girl Writes Hilarious Note To Teacher 'From Her Mum' Explaining Why She Must Wear Sunglasses

We have no idea what gave the game away...

You’d usually assume it’d be teenagers forging notes from parents to get out of PE or to fake a reason as to why they haven’t done their homework, but this girl has started the blagging game a lot earlier. 

Evelyn, from London, was determined to wear her sunglasses at school and she had a genius idea of how she was gong to be able to make that happen. The resourceful five-year-old wrote a note to her teacher - pretending to be her mum - explaining why she had to wear them.

“Evelyn has hayfever,” she wrote on a bright pink post-it note. “She needs sunglasses.” 

We have no idea what gave the game away...

Evelyn’s dad, Jon Hillcock, posted the note to Twitter on 17 May and got more than 2,000 likes. He also explained that his daughter doesn’t even have hayfever.

Hoping the note would be a success, Evelyn even took her sunglasses in her book-bag, waiting for the go-ahead.  

Hillcock’s tweet went down well on Twitter, with most people impressed with Evelyn’s attempt.

We hope she got to wear her sunnies.

Choose a wiggly walk and terrain made for adventuring. "It's all about keeping children's minds off putting one foot in front of another," says Clare Lewis. (credit:Stephen Lux via Getty Images)

It could be a café with their favourite hot chocolate or their 'secret' place like a climbing tree. Make regular stops to admire natural curiosities, make a den, whittle a stick or play in water or whatever you fancy. Encourage your kids to take photos.

Children love the sociability of a walk and bringing friends increases their activity as they challenge each other to jump the highest or widest, splash in puddles, climb trees or find the best stick. (credit:Alistair Berg via Getty Images)

There may be times you have to walk in a line, but take turns with who's the leader. Also, let your children choose the route (within reason!). (credit:Bounce via Getty Images)

Hide-and-seek, capture the flag or ambushes - sending kids on ahead so they can jump out on you - are all favourites. Bring a ball or a Frisbee to play with too. (credit:JLPH via Getty Images)

Children love places to clamber over like a rocky beach or challenges like climbing trees or jumping over streams. Challenge children to touch that tree and run back, hopscotch between the pavement cracks or run along the low wall. "You could go on a shape walk, finding stones, shells and leaves that are all the same shape," suggests Clare Lewis, co-author of Adventure Walks for Families in and Around London.
