These Notes Are Proof That Children Are Either Weird, Salty, Or Savage

Childhood is amazing because you literally don't know how life is supposed to work, and it has to be wonderful watching a person experience things in the world for the first time.

They take their first steps, speak their first words and make friends, and before you know it they're threatening you with cat toys and letting their inner petty shine. There is no denying that kids are great, but they're also weird and sometimes super salty.

Honesty Is A Good Quality, Right?

This kid is being upfront about who they are and that's great... but where do we draw the line between being honest and an overshare? This seems like something they could have kept to themselves because I imagine those around them already know.

Maybe this is the time in this kid's life when they realize that they're only going to be able to accomplish what they want if they team up with their foe, only in this version they don't become friends in the end.

The tragedy is that the person marking this isn't going to care about your stale Cheetos, kid. Instead, they're going to share your troubles with all their friends and laugh about it.

He probably should be reading and not worrying about what she's doing with her time! She's got better things to do than associate with a boy who is gonna ask her to cut class. That's a bad influence.

In my adult life, I would never have the nerve to tell someone the only thing I'm sorry about is not feeling sorry. Once you become an adult you somehow end up apologizing for everything.

One of the most hilarious things about children is that they pick up on everything. So, when someone tells you to be careful about what you say, they mean it. Otherwise, you're going to have to explain to someone why your child drew someone pooping into a fan.

Sometimes you have to stand your ground and let the universe know that you're not going to put up with people and their shenanigans. But, if your mother tells you to write an apology note, it's probably best to just do it.
