Adorable Homework Assignment: Nephew Wants Snake to "Hunt His Enemies

An image capturing a young student's handwritten letter has recently gone viral on Reddit, amusing users with its whimsical and imaginative content. This adorable homework assignment, titled "Dear mom [and/dad]," features a child's endearing attempt to persuade their parents to get them a pet snake. The letter is bordered by blue construction paper and decorated with charming drawings of snakes, hearts, and abstract figures.

The assignment is divided into several sections, each presenting a reason why the child believes they should have a snake. The first section, labeled "What do you want?" reveals the child's desired pet spelled as "a snak/ey."

In the second section, titled "Why you should have it? Reason #1," the child confidently writes, "It well hunt my enomies" (It will hunt my enemies). This playful reasoning showcases the child's vivid imagination and sense of adventure.

The third section, "Why you should have it? Reason #2," humorously states, "I wil let him go scratch in post" (I will let him go scratch in posts). This part of the letter has sparked particularly amusing reactions from Reddit users. One commenter, with a touch of humor, questioned if the child knew what a snake was, saying, "Hey op I'm not sure your nephew knows what a snake is? He says he will get his snake a scratching post? Does he think snakes have claws?"

The fourth section, "Why you should have it? Reason #3," reads, "I twill build a place" (I will build a place). This statement further emphasizes the child's commitment and creativity in ensuring their future pet snake has a suitable habitat.

Reddit users have reacted warmly to the post, with comments ranging from "Smart kid" and "Cool kid" to playful references to the Harry Potter series. One user joked, "Your nephew isn't a Parseltongue by chance?" while another quipped, "Worked for Harry Potter."

The bottom left corner of the letter is signed off with "love Bro," adding a heartfelt touch to the child's request. The accompanying artwork, featuring simplistic drawings of snakes, adds to the overall charm and innocence of the assignment.

This delightful letter not only showcases a child's creativity and humor but also highlights the innocence and simplicity of childhood desires. As Reddit user comments suggest, this young student certainly has a vivid imagination and a playful spirit.
