In the new age of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and any other screen you can think of, communication, especially between parents and their teenagers, has become almost impossible. They just don’t seem to speak the same language anymore. Take this for example. The father discovered the microwave’s handle was broken.
Now, let’s put aside the fact that he has misspelled whatever he was writing; his daughter simply replied with “Me?”. We would like to add that if she had written ” moi” in French alongside that image, it would have taken her response up a few levels. We can’t wait to see what the next note will read.
The Favorite Child
Being a favorite of either parent (or both!) can be such a treasure to any kid, and we’re sure the child who received this was thrilled. The dad had no problem letting his kid know who his favorite was. But he could be telling all his other children this, too. Sometimes, it’s a way for a dad to have his child do what needs to be done.
Admit it, moms and dads, we have those days when we just want them to carry out their tasks without a fuss. But would you ever think to resort to this funny yet sweet tactic? This dad probably used the “favorite child” method to get things done!
Lesson Learned
Most girls are not as into cars as the boys are, and we can assume that this dad wrote a note to remind his daughter just what the vehicle needs. And we can also speculate that because one word repeatedly appears, the daughter might have forgotten exactly what to fill it up.
She could have filled up the tank with basic unleaded fuel instead of diesel. To avoid it from happening again, this dad made sure to remind his daughter about diesel... but we’re pretty sure Sarah has learned her lesson. Yes, Diesel is the name for lesson one on cars.
What Did He Write?
When we came across this next one, we literally called for an emergency. People from all over the country tried to figure out what this father wrote to his daughter, and until this very moment, there was still no final verdict. We summed it down to two last options.
It's either the father who wrote this had a little too much to drink and wrote " Do your wishes" (and whatever that means), or his intention was to write "Do your dishes." Following what his son responded, we tend to go with option one. The father asked for wishes, and the son replied with dreams. It all makes sense to us now.
When It Grows Up
Having a house on fire caused by dryer lint is a serious thing, and parents have to remind their children to be careful with it. This letter creatively yet clearly tells the kid not to leave the dryer lint just anywhere. Dad invented a dryer lint character that would one day grow up to become a dryer fire.
Creating characters may just be one of the things a dad must do. With a good prop, the story is an imaginative way to get his message out. While the note is amusing, it is also an important warning about the dangers one can get into with something as seemingly innocuous as lint.
