In the age of texting, it may seem a bit odd that parents would even still bother with leaving notes around. After all, if you’ve sent it right to someone’s phone, they’re definitely gonna see it, and shooting off a text certainly takes less time than, say, printing and cutting out instructions.

But then again, there’s something so much more personal and tactile about the actual note. It lets your kids know that you care, and more importantly, it gives a sense of foreboding, like they’re really there in the room with you, even if they’re not.

Watching. Judging. Expecting.

That’s why these notes from parents are the best.

10. Is that you, Alf?

Even I’m too young to be making Alf references, what’s wrong with me?

My parent went out of town, he left me a note.

9. Oh, baby

Look your life is your business but I ain’t taking care of no grandkids right now.

5. Get Daniel at 6

I love how this shifts from a note of concern to a burn on a dime.

I accidentally left my computer logged in to Reddit this morning. I found this note next to it when I got home.

Or terribly wrong, I don’t know.

The best part of waking up is probably not this.

True innovation right here.

I guess modern problems do call for modern solutions.
