When my mother’s best friends were young, they once almost had their mother convinced that school was closed for “Allegheny River Day.” (It was the late 40s/early 50s.)
And for the rest of his life he will never spell that word incorrectly. This does remind me of something that happened at my high school. The year after I graduated I went back to the awards night which was held shortly before graduation. I wanted to see how students from the classes behind me were doing. At some point during the program the Perfect Attendance Award was presented. This was for the student who had perfect attendance for the longest time. The Vice Principal was giving out the award and he said he started with the Senior year attendance. He then went back from there and had to go back to about 6th grade to break a tie. He decided to go back as far as needed to see the point at which this student missed a day. They went clear back to 1st grade and discovered that this student had not missed a day of school in 12 years (there was no kindergarten in our town when we were small). He then announced the award winner. It was the orneriest boy in the Senior class. Nobody could believe it. Surely he had skipped school at least one day. Nope. He jumped out of his chair when his name was announced, pumping his hands in the air like the tennis champs do when they win a big match.
I had a typewriter when I was younger and used it to type a school note as an April Fool’s Joke. It was so convincing that I had to hurry up and tell the truth! The note said I was suspended for insubordination. Lol!

Even had he spelled it correctly, I think Mom would have been more than suspicious.
