CLARKSBURG (KRON) — A mother’s note about her daughter’s tardiness is going viral, especially among parents who can relate to the struggles of having a teenager.
“Cara is tardy this morning as a result of a condition known as teenage-ism,” Nicole Poppic, of Clarksburg wrote when her 14-year-old daughter overslept on a school day.
After Poppic finally got Cara out of bed and into the car, she began to lecturing the teen, according to the mom’s blog. That’s when Cara tuned out, so Poppic threw her phone out the window, which seemed to briefly cure the ‘teenage-ism’.
“This is what happens when you are tardy as a result of your own poor choices and you ask me for a note to excuse your tardiness,” Poppic wrote when she shared the letter on her Facebook page.
Poppic was shocked when her inbox was flooded with messages from other parents who related to her sarcastic letter.
“It was simply a way to add a splash of humor to a very stressful morning,” Poppic wrote.
