These 9 Kids' Notes Brilliantly Sum Up Our Lives Right Now

"I'm writing a complaint on how awful your teaching skills are."

Parents at home with their kids have had it hard – 24/7 parenting, you could call it. Juggling work, homeschooling, an endless production line of food from the kitchen, and responding to your child’s every demand is no mean feat.

The claustrophobia is for real.

Today I stood very very still with my eyes closed behind a door while the 4 yr olds looked all over the house for me. Those 5 mins were very very nice.

But it’s made that bit easier when your kid, adorably, writes a little note and passes it to you during a particularly hectic day.

Case in point: Marcus Ryder’s son below decided to cheer his dad up after seeing him on so many Zoom meetings. Aren’t they brilliant, sometimes?

My 4 year-old son wrote the cutest note to "make you happy during your work meeting" but it disturbed me for a few reasons:
1. He refers to me as "uncle Marcus"?!🤔
2. Seeing me on so many Zoom meetings he feels I need cheering up!😥
3. Did he misspell "work" on purpose? 🤣😂😭 pic.twitter.com/GK06ilno7N

We loved Marcus’ son’s note so much, we decided to go on the hunt for the best children’s notes that parents have shared during this pandemic.

Whether they’re making you feel better – or reminding you they need snacks – your kids will always make you laugh. Here are our favourites.

‘I’m writing a complaint on how awful your teaching skills are’

Nothing like brutal honesty.

‘We have extra masks if you need one’

Kids checking on neighbours = doubly cute.

My daughter Betsy wrote and delivered handwritten notes to our neighbors this week. She knows how important it is that we (safely) check in on our friends, family, and neighbors. pic.twitter.com/XweHVrNZ3w
