What is going on here? We don’t even know where to start. We see a clock, and we assume it belongs to this father’s child. It is 8:15, seemingly the time this child was supposed to get up and get ready for school. And then we see an amateur addition to the clock, which can maybe be a mathematical puzzle.
Something divided by one equals what? Or maybe something divided by 11 equals the time you were supposed to get up, and now you are late, and I don’t want to hear any excuse when you get told off at school today.
Lost For Words
So, this dad has become a professional when it comes to love notes. He has been leaving his wife's love motes for years, expressing his feelings and telling her how wonderful he thinks she is. These precious notes are one of the reasons the fire keeps burning for so many years.
Then, a day comes when he is just lost for words. He has used up all of the romantic phrases he could have thought of and found himself left with nothing but X and O. We must say that we apriciate the effort and adding a title, just in case this could have been confused with Tic Tac Toe.
There's a Lot of History Here
Yes, technically, these are many notes, but they're from a Dad. You can just tell. It makes things as easy as possible for a child who has probably flooded the laundry room a time or two. Laundry again, what is it about the laundry?
Anyway, this set of notes creates a fool-proof instruction. It tells the child exactly what not to use, so the chances of making a mess are fewer and fewer ( we love how everything eventually is there to server the parents). Of course, people who have children know even this barrage of notes might not stop them from doing their dirty work.
True Dad Love
It brings a tear to the eye. This dad has welcomed his son home, from what we don't know, but he's left a note that has everything you need. It greets the son with a note of love and protection, lists the good, healthy food available in the kitchen, and discusses the next available football game the two may watch together.
It's the Lions against the Browns, which seems almost like a punishment (especially if it's preseason), but we can ignore that. The note ends with some advice: hot shower and nap. Heart Pop. It might just make you miss your own dad.
On the Other Hand...
Some people might find this kind of note a little more familiar. It seems a child has missed curfew one too many times. As we've seen before, sometimes a dad has to lay down the law, and it's happened here in glorious fashion. Don't knock or ring the doorbell. Sleep on the patio.
But a dad can still be magnanimous in his righteous anger. This time, his generosity includes a blanket and a pillow to ward off the chill, keep him comfortable, and fight off coyotes. Did the child actually sleep here, or did Mom come to the rescue? A question for the ages.
