It appears summer break has once again come to an end. Bad news for your kids. Fantastic news for you and that stair banister you always find sticky. So open up that wallet and label those pencil cases, we’ve got some hilarious tweets from parents who can’t wait for school to start back.

You’ve waited so, so long for this day.

Back to school next week means there will be so much whining and crying in the morning. I’ll bet the kids will be tired, too.

And trust us, it shows.

It’s that point during summer where parents are starting to look how teachers looked at the end of the school year.

But you’ll be celebrating soon enough.

Back to school shopping is kinda like Christmas shopping. It’s an expensive pain in the ass but it leads to a great celebration.

— The Real American Dadass (@R_A_Dadass) August 17, 2017

So why not celebrate with a photoshoot?

Forgot to post a picture to social media of my kids on their first day of school. Do they have to repeat the year now, or what happens?

— Unfiltered Mama (@UnfilteredMama) August 28, 2018

Just don’t make your enthusiasm too obvious.

Parenting Tip:
Kids will not appreciate pics of you popping champagne corks after you drop them back at school

— The Personification of Nevil (@TheAlexNevil) August 24, 2016

So first thing’s first, get those kids out of bed.

My kids go back to school on Monday so of course they just figured out how to sleep in.

— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) July 28, 2016

Do a trial run the night before if necessary.

Practicing for the first day of school by muttering “we’re late,” throwing cereal on the floor & making sure every outfit is the wrong one.

And boost that immune system to the best of your abilities.

All good? Okay. It’s finally here. The first day of school.

Son: I hate school.

Me: I know, but you need to go to school to someday get a job that you’ll also hate.

— Rodney Lacroix (@moooooog35) December 1, 2016

A few precautions need to be taken.

PARENTS, take a photo of your child on their first day of school so you can remember which child to take home at the end of the day.

— Ruthe Ruiner (@RuthePhoenix) August 29, 2017

Be sure to pack a snack!

Me: *buys a year’s worth of snacks* OK kids, remember, these are for school.

Kids: *have already eaten all the snacks*

— Lurkin’ Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) September 3, 2015

Hell, pack one for yourself.

In the fifth realm of hell right now…or as you may know it, the school parking lot on the first day. #parenting

— It’sReally10Months (@really10months) August 18, 2016

The most important thing is punctuality.

Sorry I’m late. My kid was walking from the door to the car.

— Walking Outside In Slippers (@WalkingOutside) June 22, 2018

Once your kid’s at school, let the longing begin.

Everybody wants their kids to go back to school, until they’re stranded on the toilet without toilet paper and no one’s around to grab a new roll.

— The Real American Dadass (@R_A_Dadass) August 17, 2018

Don’t worry, they’ll be back home before you know it.

School started today so I’m pretty sure the new shoes I bought my kids for school are probably worn out by now.

— Abe Yospe (@Cheeseboy22) August 18, 2015

At which point you become just another teacher.

My son is upset cos I wouldn’t help him with his homework. Like what part of “Daddy already had 13 years of that shit” doesn’t he understand. #BackToSchool

AKRON, OHIO ⁠— Suggesting that the supply lists alone may have wiped a rainforest somewhere, local dad Jeremy Healy planted a thousand trees this week in an attempt to offset his son’s back-to-school paperwork.

“This one right here?” Healy said, packing soil around the base of a young spruce. “This bad boy should counterbalance the supply lists alone.”

Referring to the excess paperwork as “unnecessary” and “a veritable fucking rain forest in my kid’s backpack,” Healy then showed us a pine tree he’d planted to negate one single gym syllabus.

“It’s tragic, thinking about all the deforestation that had to happen in order for me to grant permission for my kid to play dodgeball,” Healy added.

Healy then confirmed that none of the trees have money growing on them, despite what the school seems to believe.

TOPEKA, KS — Dismissing the file format as “newfangled,” local dad Taylor Adkins expressed frustrations this week as he tried to turn the volume up on a GIF.

“I don’t know how anyone manages to work this new stuff,” Adkins said in reference to the bitmap technology first worked in 1987. “My daughter sent it to me and I can’t hear a damn thing,” he continued, assuming it to be video format.

The GIF, a term Adkins erroneously pronounces with a soft G, shows Steve Carrell (as his character from The Office) yelling the word “no.”

“Or so I suspect,” Adkins added. “I’ve got the little vibrate switch turned off and everything.”

Sources say that Taylor has considered getting a new phone, bringing up an earlier incident in which he was unable to hear James Van Der Beek cry.

Summer is drawing to a close and you know what that means: supply lists are upon. So load up that minivan, empty that wallet, and enjoy these 16 hilarious tweets about back-to-school shopping.

Supply lists. The enemy.

We just received the school supplies list for fall, or as my wife likes to call it “the annual shakedown”

— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) July 13, 2018

Brace yourselves; they’re long.

My kids’ school supply lists are so long, they’re printed on CVS receipts.

— Eɾιɳҽɱ (@Mom_Overboard) August 29, 2018

Really long.

*rents U-Haul van to take all of my kids’ back-to-school supplies with them on their first day*

— Andy H. (@AndyAsAdjective) August 1, 2018

And often confusing.

School supply lists like, “15 no. 2 pencils, must be carved from the bark of a 856 day-old palmito tree in the Amazon rainforest.”

— Walking Outside In Slippers (@WalkingOutside) August 16, 2018

Seriously, what are they teaching these days?

School supply list when I was a kid:
*crayons
*glue
*ruler

School supply list now:
*Clorox wipes
*paper towels
*Ziploc baggies

Apparently they’re teaching my kid to be a janitor or a drug dealer.

— Scrappy Momma (@scrappy_momma) July 25, 2018

Much easier when we were kids.

I really don’t feel all that old.

*sees a Trapper Keeper in an antique store

Never mind.

— Wendy (@_wendyb07) January 21, 2018

Regardless, most of these supplies won’t be used as intended.

Never underestimate a kid with a roll of tape and a pair of scissors.

— Jessie (@mommajessiec) July 10, 2018

Kids like to think outside the supply box.

At school my daughter took a sticker that said “Paint Supplies” off a box and put it on her shirt. Now she says her nickname is Paint Supplies.

She’s just going through that normal insist-everyone-calls-her-Paint-Supplies phase all kids go through.

Haha classic Paint Supplies.

— Joel Willis (@TheJoelWillis) February 10, 2019

You’ll need the classics. Pencils.

Be sure to buy your 7th grader mechanical pencils instead of wooden pencils or he will be a huge dork, never have any friends and never graduate from high school! (According to my 7th grade son.)

— Abe Yospe (@Cheeseboy22) August 20, 2018

Glue. Lots of glue.

I’m buying my sons’ school supplies – does anyone know where I can get 10,000 glue sticks?

— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) August 23, 2017

Don’t forget to write your kids’ names on everything!

Today: putting my son’s name on all his school supplies.
Tomorrow: replacing my son’s lost and stolen school supplies.

— Sarah del Rio (@sarahdelri0) August 20, 2017

This could take some time.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be labeling school supplies from now until my kids graduate.

— Paige Kellerman (@PaigeKellerman) August 10, 2015

So ensure that you only gotta do it once.

I’m writing my son’s name on all his school supplies in fake Halloween blood from last year so the other kids know not to mess with him.

— ∂ebraℓee (@darksidedeb) September 6, 2016

But don’t worry, this’ll all be over soon.

Take pride in your accomplishment here.

*wears the Staples receipt for my kids’ school supplies like a scarf

— Rock the Kasbah (@MarieLoerzel) August 16, 2017

And don’t forget to grab some supplies of your own.

Can’t. Gotta go buy school supplies. pic.twitter.com/zEngIY3yRa
