The season when we all wish we’d worked a little harder in the gym and booked our vacations in advance is officially here. However, with the summer also comes all the pleasures (and pains) it brings. If we look past the chafing thighs, scorching leather seats, and becoming the main course for mosquitos, summer is a lot of fun. And the funniest tweets about summer capture that perfectly!
Funny summer tweets, be they from the summer of 2012 or last year, stay relatable because what we love (or hate) about the summer doesn’t change throughout the years. Hence, it should come as no surprise that some older funny tweets about summer would be floating around on the Internet right in time for the season. Also, it’s very unlikely that our means of breaking the summer heat will ever change, and relatable tweets about summertime back this up.
Thus, let’s embrace the season when having ice cream for dinner and watermelon for breakfast becomes acceptable cuisine because there is no damn way we will be standing by the hot oven or chilling by the pan this summer. To retrace or take a peek into what the future holds for us, let’s look at some hilarious tweets about summer and the joys (and pains) of it.
Below we’ve compiled a list of funny tweets about summer that, to a certain degree, we all can relate to. And if you are a proud mama or papa, you may be glad to find some funny parenting tweets there, too! As always, upvote the tweets about summer you enjoyed or could relate to, and let us know in the comments what your favorite (or least favorite) thing about the season is!

SPRAY ON SUNSCREEN The first time I saw that stuff my inner old man grumbled about it being more expensive and wasteful (compared to creams). But man, if you are trying to apply it on babies / toddlers it is SOOOO much easier than the lotion based stuff. Also if you are like me and don't like the feel of 'goop' on your skin, it is a bit less intrusive in that regard as well.

Every summer, for years, my family would go camping for about two weeks, and I never wanted to go because every year I'd get about halfway through and already be asking how long until we get to go home. It didn't help that the tents were old and if it rained, the tents filled with water and I'd wake up in a pool of water from the area flooding, and/or the roof of the tent dripping on me.

I told her our camping spot number and told her she could grab her parents to come get ours that were still in the car (I didn't want to scare them thinking it was a kidnap ruse, which is why I said to grab their parents). The next time they took a walk, little brother's smile said it all 😁. Hey, leash is fine if that's all you got (and afford). I didn't want big sister to receive judgement stares like I did

The REAL reason is they are often low budget. It doesn't cost a lot to put a tent in the woods and have under lit scenes of bad actors saying, "Shhssh! WHAT WAS THAT?!". Then followed by under lit scene of one of the actors you never heard of laying on the ground in a pool of fake blood. Stuff like The Shining had a bigger budget but I've watched 'camping horror' that could have been filmed in the woods on my property.

True story: group camping trip, a woman woke us up at 2am yelling and screaming (she had found her husband with another woman). I have never so much in my life thought I was going to get murdered b/c every single horror movie went through my head when we didn't know what was going on.

I love camping, but last time I realised I must be getting old as I was so sore sleeping on my sleeping mat for one night, let alone the next four! I am looking into better options now...

I have heard kids say this sort of thing a lot! It is usually pretty accurate, so I hope they don't say the same thing about me to other educators!

It's called 'pick your battles' day! We sometimes have to do the same at work, as at least the 'trouble maker' is occupied etc

Why I never liked beaches. Sand in the butt crack that seems to stay there all summer.

Can't do this because I have so many that I have collected in my car. You know, should I ever break down in a deserted area and need to survive.

Affluenza- once you pay someone to fix the car the same night, did a crime even happen?

Because (rich) white kids often get away with heinous sh*t by virtue of being (rich and) white, plus the added layer of irony of the horror stemming from something that, disregarding the murderous stalker bit, should be considered normal (being held responsible for your actions).

Waking up at 4am as the sun is rising even though I'm still exhausted, only to experience the deeply-horrifying existential dread that comes with the realization that I have to work just as much at my soul-sucking, seemingly-pointless job during summer as I do at any other point in the year.

My birthday is right at the end of the school year/start of summer. Often coincides with Memorial Day. So, yeah, summer means I'm one year closer to death.

Keep a journal. “Now let’s see, where can we go that we haven’t thrown ourself down on the ground, and gone purple in the face totally losing our s**t?” If you don’t keep a journal, you’ll forget, and revisit one of the forbidden spots.

I change mine, but winter layers make for more frequent laundry days than thin tshirts and booty shorts.
Blondie23 2 years ago
man the day my hubby and I taught our kids to do their own laundry was the best!!! Now we only do our own laundry and let me tell you... this is living!!! Those kids struggled at first but finally realized that if they didn't want to run out of underwear they needed to stay on top of it! Best parenting hack every! We started teaching them when they were about 10-11 years old and by the time they were 12-13 they were in complete control of their clothing!!!

I did basketball and it always started in summer and our gym didn't have airconditioning so it was always absolutely brutal D: but training would end at like 9.30pm so afterwards on the bike ride home it'd be way cooler so that was nice

Remember the back to school shopping commercial—-can’t remember the store—-set to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, with the kids looking glum and the parents looking elated that school’s about to start up again? Gave me the giggles every time I saw it.

I honestly don't get the hype about summertime, especially not from the media. But there also a lot of people who will be like, yaaay summers finally back! Dude no. Its hot. Its humid. I can't cool down my flat properly bc its under the roof. Im stinking bc of sweat and Im sticky bc of sun-protection. I get headaches. I can't sleep properly bc the sun will stay forever and it doesn't cool down anymore at night. Its way too much sun and light, I need sunglasses a lot. A lot of my hobbies won't happen bc theres a summer break. Yes there are also positive sides but all in all its the season I feel the most uncomfortable.
Cricketgeeklol 2 years ago
Ok lemme try and help. To cool Ur flat down - open the windows rlly early and have them open all day maybe even at night. DRINK MORE WATER to help with headaches. Put a cold flannel on Ur head at night. Shower more often if it doesn't effect ur water bill too much and use sun cream because I don't find that too sticky. Sit in the shade and take up different hobbies ie swimming or tennis. Pls reply if u read this cuz this took forever to write out lol

I have a very specific memory of my family taking a "vacation" which involved a hotel with a pool. It was only until a few years ago that my parents told me, "we went to a wedding. It wasn't a vacation. We just told you that so you wouldn't whine and you believed it because there was a hotel pool."

Wait until you visit Disneyland. At the end of the day the kids are so overstimulated and wired from eating sugar so they have a two hour tantrum at bedtime.

I think it's just coded into kids DNA to bring home rocks, pine cones, and sticks for no good reason.

And then forget where they found them and why they brought them home. But they STILL won’t let your throw them out.

I know it will probably change when I have kids, but I don't like hotdogs or hamburgers, so I don't even really know how to cook them. The smell of hotdogs/sausages is already unbearable, which is bad when you are Australian and shop in Bunnings :)

I'm so confused why people have children when every mention of them here is referencing them being a pain. Except the first one who doesn't do busy. She's going places.
kansasmagic 2 years ago
Personally, I think it's because people let their imaginations carry them away, and they expect their kids to either be perfect little angels or carbon copies of themselves! Or, you know, biological drives or some s**t like that. Full disclosure: I have four kids. Not 100% sure how that happened.
