Fourth-grader skips school to attend Cubs game, runs into principal while there

A young Cubs fan showed some serious dedication to the team, but it led to an embarrassing moment for him and his father.

Fourth-grader Tucker Steckman from Des Moines, Illinois, went with his dad to the Cubs’ home-opener at Wrigley Field earlier in the week. The problem was that he had school that day, so he played hooky.

“I saw him and I was kind of ducking down,” Versluis said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “I didn’t want him to see me either. I’m here with my son, Aiden, who’s in fifth grade, and I called out sick for the day!”

That’s just great.
