It’s been a long day. You are on your way home from school, dreaming of what you are about to make for dinner. You can imagine placing the chicken in the oven, peeling potatoes, and cutting up the salad. You walk into your house, and then you see this.
There is no way you can take out the chicken from the oven using this. What is wrong with this father? What did he use this oven glove for his unexplained hobbies, and if he already chose to do such a thing, why didnt he place it in the washing machine once he was done?
Harsh Words From Dad About Reddit
When one son leaves his Reddit account up on the family computer, Dad has decided he doesn't really approve. The note explains that people shouldn't be proud to have any friends (true), and if the child is having a problem with something, he or she should come to dad first because dad can actually help (also true).
Dad also laid some smack on Reddit's design (extra true) and that the child in question should spend some extra time practicing his or her humor (undoubtedly true; children are not funny). But Dad brings it back to earth with a familial reminder.
It Definitely, Probably Says Something
This dad has handwriting that is so bad Mom has to transcribe it so that Anna can understand what important information Dad needs her to know. We get it. Sometimes a dad is busy. Doin' dad stuff, you know. Fixing things, grilling things, fixing grills. Every once in a while, he has to scrawl out a page of chicken scratch for a kid.
This dad likes to hike and change a stick into a door stopper ( we like creativity) , but the most amazing thing is that Mom could actually read the handwriting the dad used on the original note.
Dinner Will be Served Shortly
This is one we think we will adopt. It will save the children from calling us while we are at work and asking what is planned for dinner. It will avoid arguments between siblings (we don't know how it works in your home, but in our home, each child has one day they choose what will be served - out of a list, of course).
It will also make life easier for whoever is making the dinner. When it's meatloaf night, there will be no complaining. You will give them plenty of time to embrace the fact that sometimes in life......you have to eat meatloaf.
Meatloaf the Money Cat
When Dad is happy, everybody's happy. This dad has gone off for dinner with an aunt and uncle but has left some cash for pizza and beer with Meatloaf, who looks as if this is a pretty common occurrence. A few double-sawbucks are enough for a fun night, even if it's not just a human and a cat, so we're sure these two partied like champs.
And this note has a bonus note! Dad couldn't find the tape, so he does what dads do best: he improvises. He used another note to hang up the first note! Classic dad magic.
