Back in the day when lunchtime came around, freeing you from the clutches of maths, English and Science in a dreary classroom donned by a middle-aged woman you couldn't stand, it was okay to get as far away from reality as possible.
British Bull Dog, Stuck in the Mud and a game of footy with a sponge football were the type of things that dominated primary school playgrounds, and they were excellent. However, on those days when you couldn't be bothered engaging in physical games, a bit of fun role playing came to fruition.
Cops and Robbers type games, or pretending to be characters from films like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars were popular, or you'd create a completely original type of adventure world. This is fine, because you're a kid, and your imagination is expected to wander a bit.

With wild imaginations comes great responsibilities, and with those responsibilities are certain things young kids might not understand.
This little lad plays with his mates and their original characters they've created, one of which is named 'Wildo the Dildo'. Poetic.
The name of the imaginary man caught teachers off guard, prompting them to send a letter home about their concern about the sex toy inspired moniker. The father of the child received the letter and couldn't help having a giggle about what had gone on.

The letter says: "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].
"[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."

It's understandable that teachers are worried that a young boy is running around the playground shouting about a dildo, but think about the kid who's made up 'Doug the Butt Plug' - what does it say in his letter?
Despite the hilarity of the situation, the member of staff writing the letter does touch on the fact that it's encouraging to see pupils really getting into the spirit of creativity, something that'll put them in good stead for English lessons.
It can often be the other way around in these situations, where parents are the ones sending emails or letters to teachers.
It's surprising that this mum's face will ever not be red after what was intended as an innocent email to her son's school turned into something very, very different.

Angela Kovacs got in touch with one of son Louis's teachers at Park High School, Lancashire, to inform them that he wouldn't be able to make it to school after suffering an allergic reaction at the dentist. However, when she tried to tell them she was 'keeping him off', she accidentally wrote 'jerking him off' instead.

Autocorrect, the bane of many people's lives here in 2017, decided that it'd really fuck over Angela, turning her normal message into a criminally-obscene boast.

She quickly followed up the email correcting herself, hoping the staff wouldn't think she was getting up to some really horrid stuff behind closed doors.
Of course, they understood.

She told MailOnline: "I didn't read it back before I sent it. Once I spotted the mistake I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"The teacher replied saying not to worry, it was fine, but she didn't point out the mistake. She was probably just trying to be polite."
The mother then had to meet the teacher one-on-one at a parents' evening, saying that they'd all had a 'giggle' about it.
"Hopefully the teachers don't think any less of me because of it," she said.
Chin up, Angela. Easy mistake. A very easy and hilarious mistake.
