Sometimes, communicating things with your family isn’t as easy as you’d like it to be. Especially if you’re trying to do it in a short note. But, as we all know, humor is a great way to lighten things up while getting your point across.
Of course, note-writing and comedy are both art forms in and of themselves, so not all notes are created equal. Some parents are so good at this, though, that they deserve a little attention. That’s why we’ve put together this hilarious list of notes from moms and dads who totally know how to nail the funny factor every single time. Enjoy! We only hope you get as good a laugh as we did.
That speech from
Taken has become iconic. But here it’s ironic. Did the kids get disconnected or not, do you think?
Clearly, Liam is prone to whining
This must have taken ages to craft, what with the fire and the blood and all. Would the parents really notice if one baggie of snacks disappeared? Liam and Alexra could share it. But they don’t sound like the sharing types.
Talking back but by writing back
Yes, that’s the musician Handel, who wrote
Messiah. To be fair, Handel has been deceased since 1759, so it’s accurate to say that he’s broken. He probably will be for a while, too.
Is this why they’re endangered?
Kids must be responsible for so many unicorn passings every year. This dad has done a huge service in highlighting this fact. This is probably the best thing that toilet paper has ever been used for.
And that point is a knife apparently. Because everyone knows that threats of bodily harm are the best tool for shaping a growing mind. How could any child be traumatized by this?
The child said she was embarrassed by lunch notes
It’s lucky that this isn’t a lunch note then, right? And if anyone doubts this fact, just look at the underlining of the word not. Do you think the child appreciated this not note?
It’s not called mouthisil. Clearly, this is not the daughter’s fault. Unless the daughter is somehow responsible for partially blinding the dad but not in a way that stops him from writing notes.
Another kitchen, another threat of violence
Yes, cleaning the kitchen is hard work. But why threaten your children with violence? Can’t you just starve them for misbehaving like a normal person?
Luckily, the car survived that incident. Hopefully, Sarah learned her lesson. If not, she’s taking the bus!
Why the lowercase at the start of every sentence?
And that font, Comic Sans, is hated the world over. This note is torture to writers. Pure torture!
The sketch is really doing a lot of work here. That heart shows that the message comes with love. Hopefully, the daughter likes Futurama (that’s where the character comes from.)
Ok, this one breaks the rules of the article
This isn’t aimed at the writer’s children. Or is it? Maybe the note writer’s child is the murderer? What a funny twist of fate!
What’s wrong with their Walmart?
Sure, there are better stores. But if the mom’s local Walmart is so bad that people need prayers to make it through, then something has gone terribly wrong. Also, is the time in the corner so that the daughter can call the cops when the mom’s been gone for too long? This one has more questions than answers.
If only you could put notes inside of phones
That would be the life! Also, who needs a note to remind them of cake? Cake should always be at the forefront of your mind!
The son always brought the apple in to work but always brought it back at the end of the day
The son can’t eat it now. It’s a part of the family! It even has a name!
British humor at its finest
For those ignorant of Britishisms, “bum” means ass. Don’t worry. They aren’t inserting a tube into a homeless person.
I know what option I’d pick
My cat would be lucky that I loved him so much. I would only eat him if it were the apocalypse. He’d probably have turned into a zombie anyway.
When your parent is a firefighter
The child is keeping the father employed. After all, if people didn’t create fire hazards, there wouldn’t be any firefighters. What a great child!
These family members aren’t Greek Gods who can play with fireballs. And if they were, a fireball would probably cost more like $40. I want to hear that sermon.
She doesn’t want grandkids?
Most parents are desperate for them. But then again, it’s good to plan these things. Maybe you should trust your children to be responsible?
The mom is learning English
That’s a good effort. Sure, people who were born speaking English may laugh. But could you write a message like this in Spanish?
What does Joshua get up to when the parents are away?
No more than three girls at the book club? That’s a little strict, isn’t it? What if more girls want to hear Joshua’s opinions on
The Goldfinch?
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital would not approve of this message
The good doctors at the hospitals would probably sympathize with the dad’s annoyance, though. Four is quite a lot. How many towels are there in the house?
Two different parenting styles
Clearly, the dad is way stricter than the mom. Does Idaho really offer all that many opportunities for lawlessness? It’s a pretty sparse state.
Talk to a stranger online or your dad?
Both say weird stuff. Both just pivot to talking about themselves. There’s no difference!
When you have a summary like that, why even read the book? At least the mom didn’t reveal that there’s nudity and dragons. That’s for the child to discover on their own.
That first note is also written in English
It’s just that the dad has terrible handwriting. Luckily, the mom is more than happy to translate. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!
Wow, the model left a note just for that purchaser?
Oh, it was the purchaser’s dad. There’s always next year’s swimsuit magazine! Maybe he’ll get lucky that time.
There’s nothing wrong with naturism
Good on the kid for scrunching that note up! If they want to strut around pantless, then strut around pantless they will! It was summer, and it was hot!
Maybe they should have picked a notepad with a different end message
By the way, you definitely can have too many tylenols. If you value your liver, don’t take too many! Ignore that red writing.
The joy of raising teenage sons. At least the parents are confronting this situation. Admittedly, it’s in a non-direct fashion.
Who else wants to try this?
They’ll be sure to do the chores every time! The only really hard chore here is vacuuming. These kids are lucky!
What about when it goes all green?
If they eat the sandwich after it goes moldy, they will need luck! Luck and a stomach pump. Anyone else want to call CPS?
Wow, a blanket. How kind! They probably won’t freeze to death or anything.
It’s not like the good old days when smoking was good for you. If this had happened in the 1950s, the note would be something like, “Wow, son, we’re so happy that you’ve decided to strengthen up your lungs with tobacco. My doctor recommends 40 a day. Yes, he is sponsored by Malboro.”
What kid would trade a twinkie for carrots?
The schoolyard is hardly filled with kids who are desperately looking for more carrots to eat. Unless things have really changed. But I doubt it.
There you go. If you’re a parent and haven’t embarrassed your family with a few notes like this, hopefully you’ve learned your lesson. Now get to work!
