Ah, the school pick-up line, my daily battleground. As a veteran dad of the parental shuttle service, I’ve seen things—things like the mysterious black hole that swallows time as you inch forward in the queue, and the Bermuda Triangle of lost water bottles and homework assignments.
It’s a place where my patience goes to be tested and my SUV becomes a mobile command center, complete with half-eaten snacks and forgotten sports gear. In solidarity with fellow shuttle commanders, I’ve rounded up parenting tweets from the front lines of school pick-up.
These parent tweets capture the humor and absurdity of our daily missions, proving that sometimes, you’ve got to laugh to avoid turning into that parent who starts directing traffic. Buckle up for a ride through the lighter side of carpool chaos.
