Social media has made communication easier for people. Through various platforms one can also reach out to their favourite actors, singers, or even authors. A class 10 student did something similar but not to express their love for author Preeti Shenoy’s work. The student texted her asking her to help with their homework. The author took to Twitter to share the text and also her reply to it. And, the post has left people chuckling.

“And look at this message I received just now ! A kid wants me to do their homework for them!” Shenoy wrote and shared a screenshot. The image shows three texts from the student which when clubbed together reads, “Hello ma'am. I am a 10th grader, and I am having a competition to get a 10 lines poem on kindness tomorrow. Could you please write one for me. I would be grateful.” In reply, the author politely refuses and says that she cannot do their homework for them.

Take a look at the tweet shared by author Preeti Shenoy:

“Hahahaha… Tell the kid to ask chatgpt. But amazed at his/her courage!” posted a Twitter user. “OMG this is the height,” joined another. “What an expectation,” added a third. “Kids and their expectations,” wrote a fourth.
