Texas school fooled by kid's fake note

A school in Texas has been fooled by a fake note from a seven-year-old student

A seven-year-old girl from Texas has managed to get out of an after-school program with a fake excuse note that she wrote herself, in large print with misspellings.

The girl's father, Charlie Dahu, said his daughter was wrong to write the note but that it's obvious it was written by a child.

"I want Rosabella to go too dus 131 today," the note said.

With the note, Rosabella was able to take a bus home, rather than participating in an after-school program.

But the girl couldn't get into her house and spent part of the afternoon outside, until asking a neighbor to let her use the bathroom.

The neighbor kept Rosabella until her father was located, he told KTRK-TV.

The Sheldon Independent School District says the incident is under investigation.
