Before we become polite, rule-abiding adults, we spend a good chunk of our lives as children who haven’t yet learned what society considers appropriate. Our imaginations run wild, and we say whatever pops into our heads without giving it much thought. Most of us just don’t remember what that felt like once we grow up.
To jog your memory, we’ve put together a list of funny notes written by kids and shared online by their parents. Hopefully, they’ll make your day a little brighter and maybe even remind you to let your inner child out every once in a while.

I Think I’m Raising A Good Kid
For my birthday yesterday, my oldest (he’s almost 11) led me on a Post-it note scavenger hunt around the house until I finally found his actual present under the bathroom sink. The little guy actually gave me $20 of his own money so I could get myself something I enjoy. Pretty proud of his generosity (although I might slip some of this back into his piggy bank later). Also, I’m pretty flattered that stick-figure me has so many muscles and so much hair.

What Sweet Little Notes Have You Been “Graced” With From Your Kids ?
My oldest, who seems to remove an item from his list of foods that he will consume, surprisingly enjoyed peaches for the first time earlier this week. So I thought this was a win. Fast forward a few days: I go out and buy more peaches (fruit cups) to pack in his lunch. Well, the fruit cup came home, along with a note for me. This kid is going places in life. Just don't buy peaches.

You Are Not Smart Because You Don't Believe In Unicorns
Unicorns are real, and they are much more like the ancient Greeks described them than those silly My Little Pony horses with narwhal horns. Unicorns had legs like elephants', and incredibly hard, tough skin, and huge, round feet. The key is to realize when you hear them described as "horses," that the ancients named Hippopotamuses, "River horses." Yes, that's what "hippopotamus" means. What's vaguely like a hippo, but lives on dry land; has an incredibly tough hide; massive, round feet; legs like an elephant, and a horn coming out of its face? Hint: Our name for it is Latin for "nose horn," but the Greeks called it, "single horn."
