I could start another blog devoted entirely to these cartoons with witty statements on them. This one contains a more complex error than the errors I usually see on these. The correct way to write this would be as follows: I'm it's-8:30-and-you-wanna-start-a-movie-this-late-years old.
Wanna is very informal, I know.
You Can't Make Children Plural
Children is the plural of child. When adding an -s to it, it must be to make it possessive, requiring an apostrophe. This sign was posted multiple places at Walgreens.

Thanksgiving
A comma should separate the day (Thursday and Friday) from the month (Nov.), but the most egregious error is the apostrophe marring the word Thanksgiving.
Grammatically Incorrect Attempt at Political Correctness
The pronoun their is referring to the word sister. Sister is singular. Their is plural. They don't agree. Their should be her.
Proofread Please!
The sentence, however, DOES end after disease; therefore, a period should follow the word disease. Many people would say that there should be a comma before too.

Find/Fined
Thanks to an astute student for this one. The sign should read FINED instead of FIND. I would like to find $50 if my car is ever towed, though.
