Parents, we’ve finally done it—summer is behind us, and it’s time to usher the kids back into the classroom. If our expressions resemble those of teachers during the final weeks of the school year, it’s because we’ve witnessed some moments we’d rather forget. Those long months of summer are over, and it’s understandable that the bus driver is now our unsung hero. The sight of that glorious car line at drop-off? Pure bliss. We’ve survived another summer, and now it’s back to school, a transition celebrated wholeheartedly by the witty parents of Twitter who are sharing their joy with unrestrained enthusiasm.
1. They’ll Understand Once They Become Parents
Oh, you’re upset? Too bad for you!
2. Go Pinterest or Go Home
We live in a Pinterest world, folks. Make it official with a beautifully designed chalkboard or get out of the way!
3. Goodbye, Kids!
Is it over-the-top to roll out a literal red carpet for the bus driver on the first day? If so, I don’t want to be right.
4. So Many Reps
Sometimes, it’s not just you who’s eager for them to go; they might not be as thrilled about it as you are.
5. Right Where It Belongs
This may sound harsh to new parents, but if you’ve been through this before, you know that the “send us money” paperwork is just the tip of the iceberg. Expect to be asked for donations at least 47 more times this year. Brace yourselves.
6. Look Away, Kids
I’m a walking disaster at the bus stop most mornings, so yes, I’m happily joining the selective amnesia club.
7. Oops
Wait, you haven’t been counting down the days until school starts with a special dry-erase calendar all summer? Interesting. Guess we can’t be friends then.
8. Not a Bad Start
After a summer of wild kids staying up late, it’s a miracle if they make it to the first day of school by lunchtime. Two hours late is the new on-time.
9. #Goals
Dear school, we’ve given all we can for five years. It’s your turn now.
10. A Rookie Mistake
My kids devoured an entire bulk pack of mini-muffins earmarked for school lunches in half a day. The label means nothing to them. You’ll need to invest in a snack safe—that’s the only way.
11. This Moment Must Be Remembered
Reunited, and it feels so good.
12. Because, Of Course
They spent the summer practicing for a farming career, then sleep like half-drunk college students the week before school. And so it goes.
13. We’re More Than Ready
It’s been a long summer, good luck to the teachers!
