This boy wrote his mom a great note when he missed the bus to school

There are many school kids across the globe that catch the bus every morning and afternoon. This provides them with a safe and secure mode of transport and means that they don’t have to walk or cycle before a day of education. Of course, catching the school bus is all well and good if you actually manage to catch it. These routes run to a tight schedule, which means you could miss it if you’re not careful. That’s exactly what this boy did.

Breaking the internet

If you’ve ever caught the school bus in the morning, you’ll know that you only have a small window to jump up the stairs and take your seat. They run to a tight schedule, you know.

This means that some students often miss the bus, and this can get them in a huge amount of trouble with their parents. On the odd occasion, this can also cause them to break the internet…

Posting it online

When one student missed his bus, he decided to write a letter to his mom, outlining exactly what had happened and what was going to happen. Instead of staying within their family, his sister decided to post it online for everyone to see.

This was a decision that has since changed the lives of Sarah Holliday, her brother, and her family as a whole. Yes, that’s because Sarah’s tweet has since amassed almost 220,000 retweets and almost 1 million likes! Considering this tweet was only posted on June 4, 2019, it’s safe to say that it’s taken the world by storm.

Keeping them updated

Thanks to this amazing reaction to the tweet, Sarah Holliday has decided to keep everyone updated in terms of the letter, her brother, and his newfound fame. She could see that people across the globe were invested in her brother’s antics, so opted to give the people what they wanted.

They hoped to learn more about the situation, they wanted to know what happened after her brother wrote the letter, and they wanted to know how her brother was dealing with the fame – and the fact that he missed the bus! Thankfully, Sarah was on hand to ensure that everyone knew the hilarious story.

Missing the bus

So, what was the letter about? If you used to take the bus to school when you were younger, there’s a high chance that you came close to missing it every once in a while. You only have a small window to get onboard this form of transportation, and this sometimes leaves students out of breath as they run out of their house and down the street before the doors close.

Of course, some students aren’t quite as lucky. On the odd occasion, students will miss the bus entirely, and simply stare off into the distance as they see the yellow bus driving off without them.

One particular day

Within her tweet, Sarah Holliday was remembering a time when her brother missed the bus. Although he had got up in the morning and was prepared to catch the bus and head to school, it just wasn’t meant to be. Instead of running after the bus or grabbing his bicycle to ride to school, Adam decided to stay home instead.

In his eyes, honesty was the best policy. So, instead of ignoring his mom and trying to hide the fact that he had missed the bus, he decided to be upfront and honest. He wrote her a tell-all letter that explained everything.

Extremely well-written

Sarah found the whole thing absolutely hilarious, so she decided to post photographs of the letter online. Titled “I Missed The Bus,” this letter outlined exactly what had happened, and why Adam was at home.

Those who saw the letter online could see that the letter was written by a schoolchild, and they assumed that Adam was fairly young. However, the whole thing was well-written and eloquent, and they were impressed.

I regret to inform you

First and foremost, Adam decided to let his mom know exactly what happened. He wrote that he “regret to inform you that I’ve missed my means of public transportation.” Of course, he knew that this wouldn’t be the kind of information that his mom was expecting.

He confessed that he understood she would be on a “rollercoaster of emotions right now,” but that he had made the right decision.

Staying home

After missing the bus, Adam made the “tough decision” to stay at home instead of making his way to school by another means. He didn’t want to be interrupted as he stayed in his room and got himself comfortable in his bed, because he was moping about the fact that he couldn’t go to school.

It was a tough time for him, and he just hoped that his letter would be sufficient.

That wasn’t all

However, the letter wasn’t over and done with just yet. Adam wanted his mom to know that she shouldn’t be worried or mad about his truancy. After all, it had been a pure accident that he had missed the bus, and it couldn’t have been helped.

Because of this, there was no need for his mom to be angry with him. He knew that he would have to persuade her, though.

Pros and cons

To help persuade his mom that he had made the right decision, Adam decided to create a pros and cons list to help her out. It’s this addition that had internet users in stitches because it showed off his creativity and his selling skills.

After all, if anyone can persuade their mom that they should be allowed to stay home rather than go to school, they’re onto a winner.

Ringing the school

Within this pros and cons list, Adam noted that he hadn’t had a day off that quarter and that the day was going to be a bad day anyway, so it was best that he stayed at home.

Although there was a chance that it could become a habit, and his mom would have to ring the school to let them know that he wouldn’t be coming in, it was totally fine.

Falling in love

As the photographs of the letter took the internet by storm, people across the globe quickly fell in love with Adam and his bargaining skills. They noted that he deserved the day off purely thanks to his genius letter and that there was no way his mom could be mad with him.

Thousands of people replied to Sarah’s post with their own thoughts on the matter. They thought he was a legend.

An amazing response

One of the most popular responses among those who saw the post was a huge laugh. They couldn’t help but chuckle at what Adam had written to his mother, and many social media users wanted him to be their child. After all, if he could try and reason with his mom over missing the bus, what else could he do?

He was the ultimate son, and they wanted that trait in their own children.

Gonna be a bad one

As social media users took an in-depth look at the letter in front of them on the screen, they wanted to pick out their favorite parts. Most people just couldn’t get over one of the pros of staying home, because it was a total mood.

Everyone has felt like their bad hair day was going to get them down at some point in their lives, and Adam was just being honest.

Updating the fans

As more and more people looked upon Adam’s letter and Sarah’s Twitter profile as a whole, Sarah decided to update her brother’s fans on the situation. A day after her original post, she let the world know that her mom had given in to the letter and decided to give her son the day off school.

After all, he had written such a compelling letter, it would have been impossible to say no.

Sending a message

While Sarah knew that her brother’s letter was the source of her tweet’s popularity, she couldn’t resist an urge she had. With so many people interacting with her post and creating a huge thread, she decided to send a message to those who were listening.

She let these people know that the planet is struggling and that anything anyone can do to help will go a long way. Go, Sarah!

Still popular

It’s now been a few weeks since this original tweet was published, but it’s still as popular as ever. It’s racking up even more likes and retweets on a daily basis, and it seems as though people are still finding it hilarious.

Sarah has followed this story up with a few updates, but some of these have surprised those who have been following the story since its inception. In fact, it’s shocked many people.

All about assumptions

When the letter was first published online, those online assumed that Sarah’s brother was much younger than she was. The writing seemed to be associated with an elementary or middle school pupil, as it was large and sometimes untidy.

Because of this, those online followed the story under the notion that Adam was a youngster who wanted to try his luck with his mom. However, this would all soon change.

Much older

A few days after the original tweet, Sarah posted even more screenshots and photos that involved her brother. This included various messages from Facebook, which shows a conversation between Sarah and Adam. Within these messages, fans learned that Adam was not an elementary school student in the slightest.

In fact, he was a much older teenager, and close in age to his 19-year-old sister. This took everyone by surprise.

Not liking it

Adam’s fame was instant, and people online soon felt as though they knew him and his personality. Yet, it seems as though this didn’t go down too well with Adam himself. He noted that he didn’t quite like the fame that he was receiving and that he didn’t want his letter to become a viral sensation.

However, he did understand that his letter was pretty hilarious and why people would like it so much.

Not the only one

Of course, Adam isn’t the only student to ever miss the school bus. There’s a high chance that a student misses their ride to school every single day. Yet, there was something so different about Adam.

Instead of ignoring his truancy and pretending as though it didn’t happen, he decided to own up to his actions. In fact, he decided to defend his actions, and his mom took it on the chin.

A genius idea

Most people online agreed with Sarah that her brother’s letter was a stroke of genius. He had managed to persuade his mom to let him stay home from school without any repercussions, and this is something many people dream of.

He was able to persuade his mom that it was the right decision for everyone, and she bought it! He was the hero we all needed in our lives.

A special thanks

Special thanks must go to Sarah Holliday for bringing her brother’s letter to our attention. Without her Twitter account, we would be none the wiser. We wouldn’t understand Adam’s actions, we wouldn’t be able to read the amazing responses of social media users, and we wouldn’t have a smile on our faces right now.

We’re gonna take a leaf out of Adam’s book from now on, and make use of a handwritten letter…
