EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah -- A handwritten note, carefully crafted by a 7-year-old Utah boy, was meant to trick his parents into letting him play video games all night - and if they didn't he'd be kicked out of school.
Nathan Anderson’s mom, Lori, found the note on her counter last week and here’s what it said:
With the title: “totally legit note I got from my 7-year-old’s school today” Lori posted a picture of the note online and in a matter of days it had millions of views.
Nathan went to great lengths to make his note believable, his mother said.
“This is a regular piece of notebook paper he cut it down to size to make it look a little more authentic,” Lori said holding up the handwritten note.
While Nathan’s parents didn't believe the note, it did earn him some extra time for playing video games.
“It worked a little bit," Nathan said. "I got to stay up 30 more minutes that night.”
Now, the question is, does Nathan have anything else up his sleeve?
“Not that I have thought of yet,” Nathan said.
Nathan's mom said she's sure there are a lot more tricks to come.
