Kids may be missing going to school these days but telling them they may have classes on Saturday and Sunday once schools reopen won’t make them happy either. But why would you tell them such a thing, you may wonder. Well, as a wicked prank of course. No, we didn’t come up with this. A dad in the UK came up with this prank to trouble his daughters and now it’s bringing much delight to people all over Twitter.

Twitter user Schwitz was tired of his daughters playing pranks on him. So he decided to show them who the real prank master is. He came up with a fake letter from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announcing that since children have been missing so many school days, they’ve decided to have classes on Saturdays and Sundays to make up for lost time. He additionally added that this arrangement would go on for six months after schools reopen.
Well, how can one blame the kids into believing the news with a letter that looks like that?
