A mom wrote the best tardy note explaining why her teen daughter was late to school

Being a teenager is tough. The only thing tougher? Being a teenager's parent. 

For proof, we present this brutally honest note from California mother Nicole Poppic, written after her daughter Cara failed to wake up for school on time, 12News reports. Poppic penned the note on September 6 and posted to Facebook, where it was shared more than 30,000 times. (Note the sassy sunglasses emoji in the caption.)

We're guessing Cara learned her lesson. 

A few days and an avalanche of Facebook comments later, Poppic shared a sweet follow-up post:

"While Cara and I have our moments of frustration (just like any other parent/teen combo), we are really very close," she wrote. "She understands my sense of humor and she even laughed about the note herself a couple days later. It was simply a way to add a splash of humor to a very stressful morning."
