Found this bloody weird note….

Bit of a strange one. I finally got around to emptying my son’s schoolbag and amongst the utter rubbish (including a Batman figurine he insists isn’t his!) there was an envelope tucked inside with just “For You” written on it.

Inside was a list of instructions. Things like:

  • “Don’t forget to lock the back door at night.”
  • “Children should never sit on cold floors.”
  • “The blue cup is for milk, not juice.”
  • “Be careful who you trust with secrets.”

I asked DC where it came from and he just shrugged and said, dunno. Asked on my parent friends WhatsApp and they had no idea.

DH says I’m being dramatic and it’s probably nothing, but I feel really weird about it

i don’t even know what I’m asking but, wtf!

Definitely the start of a film…

Sorry OP - I would totally be creeped out by that. How old is DS?

What do you mean? He said he’d never even seen the list. I didn’t want to freak him out by probing him too much

What is scary is the last point on that list.

Yes handwritten, but pretty neat. Not like a child.

and I know, I’m getting freaked out - was hoping he’d say it was a joke but apparently not. He is totally unbothered btw

Yeah that has creepy horror film vibes!

Is it handwritten?
