I love the snake note and the cat that sounds like a duck!
ReplyDeleteWe just leave notes on the hall floor. That means that when you are coming in or going out with arms full of bags, etc, you have to bend down and squint. You then realise you've got the wrong glasses on. You go in the lounge or kitchen, dump the bags, find your glasses and think - "Why did I need my reading glasses?" Two hours later you see the note!! You are so much more efficient.
This is very funny!
ReplyDeleteeven your notes provide a good ride thru your household! :)
ReplyDeleteha - very effective.
ReplyDeletewait.....what.... with the... snake???!!!
Those are some interesting notes indeed. Loved the snake one the very best. Perhaps he should have left a note for the cats too. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Apparently my household isn't the only one that communicates by note. :)
ReplyDeleteI need a system like that. Currently, if the kids need me to sign something of school, they bring it me to 5 minutes before it's time to walk out the door. Why not the night before? Grrrr!
ReplyDeleteA note that reads that I am responsible for bringing in 47 cupcakes to class today is not a welcome note in my book. Seriously? Those are the kinds of notes I used to get when my girls were little. Always last minute. I'm glad they're grown up now. Whew.

I love "Mothership." It really anchors your position in the family.
ReplyDeleteHa. Those are some adorable notes. "Mothership" is awesome, and the snake, too, though I did chuckle at "alarms just don't work anymore". You should save those. They are priceless.
