40 Funniest Notes From Parents That Made Their Kids Smile

I grew up with a single mom who was always tired, but somehow never too tired to make my day a little better.

One of the ways she did that was slipping a handwritten note into my school lunch, a small thing that somehow meant everything.

No matter how rough the day felt, seeing her handwriting was a reminder that I was loved and being thought about. That kind of effort sticks with you.

These notes from parents did the same thing for their kids, turning an ordinary day into something special with a few simple words.

They’re funny, sweet, and proof that love doesn’t have to be loud to be unforgettable.
