Genius kid fakes letter from school claiming he needs more time for 'video game class'

Life is hard if you're a kid who loves video games.

You can't play while you're at school and then when you get home you have to get all your homework done, eat your dinner, and do your chores before you are allowed to play.

Seven-year-old Nathan was feeling this pain so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

To give himself more time for video games each night, he wrote a very serious note from "the school" about how he wasn't doing well in "VIDEO GAME CLASS." Then passed the note along to his mom, Lori, who then posted it on Reddit.

Yep, this seems totally legit.

"I held it up and asked 'what's this about' and he couldn't hide his devious smirk!" Lori told Mashable. "I emailed his teacher the picture of the note, and he had shown it to her as well."

To be fair to Nathan though, he wasn't the only one who had this plan.

"My friend's T-shirt had something like the note, and I wanted to copy it and change some things," said Nathan, when asked where he got the idea.

Even though Nathan admitted to his mom that "the school" wasn't concerned about his video game grades, the hilarious note did earn him 30 more minutes of video game time that evening. We'd say that's worth it.

When asked what games he likes to play, Nathan said, "I like to play Minecraft, racing games, Mario games, Solar Two (a Steam game), Kerbal Space Program, and I think that's about it. Sometimes when (mom's friends) come over, they let me play Pokemon GO on their phones."

Wow, no wonder Nathan needs more video game time every night — he's got a full schedule right now.
