Getting letters from school is not a new thing. Every parent has received those from their kids’ schools, some more often than the others if their kid was extra mischievous. However, no parent would have received a letter that has a phrase like ‘Wildo the Dildo’ in it, until this British man did. Don’t believe me? Read the story.
Paul Hunt, a resident of Somerset, England received a letter from his 10-year-old son’s school with an unusual complaint. Obviously, he took to Twitter to share the hilarious letter.
This letter, that was sent home from school today, is the funniest thing I've ever read. pic.twitter.com/5UYItrfVmO

Here is what the letter read:
Dear (Blank)
Although this is not a behaviour letter as such, I am writing to inform you of something that has come to our attention and that you may wish to discuss further with
(Blank) and a few of his friends often make up characters, give them amusing names and then they have exciting adventures at playtimes. This in itself is an imaginative and creative pastime and causes no harm. However, it has come to our attention that one of the characters has the name ‘Wildo the Dildo’ and this has, I am sure you can understand, raised some concerns with us.
On further discussion, none of the children said they knew what it meant, but were aware that it was an inappropriate word to be using. One of the children said they picked up the word on the playground, so we will be following this up further and dealing with accordingly.
I hope you can appreciate the reason I am informing you of this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss it further.
This amused a lot of Twitter users and they came up with some amazing reactions.

2. Best mascot ever!
There's only one thing for it: enter Wildo into the competition for the London 2017 mascot.
