Funny Senior Yearbook Ad Ideas for Parents

Not everything has changed since you were in high school. If you have a high schooler of your own now, you probably noticed that the tradition of autographing yearbooks is pretty much the same. There's just one new wrinkle: Now you're writing in that yearbook as a parent.

That means you can no longer get away with scribbling something like "Class of 2022 rulez!!!" No, a parent is expected to offer words of wisdom and encouragement. And they have to do it without hogging too much of the "autographs" section.

In other words, it takes some thought. Here are some sample yearbook messages from parents to help you find the right words.
