Kids: Gold digger

Gold digger

Today, my 6 year-old granddaughter was sitting on my lap, playing with the rings on my fingers. After a moment, she pointed to a gold ring with many jewels and said, "When you die, can I have that one?" FML

Today, I found an unfamiliar ring in my purse. Thinking it was fake, I gave it to a little girl. Thanks to my mother, I later found out that the ring was my grandmother's and it was made of gold and had a real ruby. My mother added that my grandmother trusted me to keep it in our family. FML

Today, my 8-year-old daughter came home from school, saying she had gotten engaged and was wearing a ring. It looked real. Later that night, I got a call saying that their son had given my daughter his grandma's engagement ring. My daughter actually said no to the engagement, but still took the ring, FML

Today, my 6-year-old son was being charming by smiling and batting his eyelashes at me. When I asked him, "What?" he replied, "When you die, can I have your hair?" FML

My precious

Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML

Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML

Today, for my girlfriend's birthday, I got her an external hard drive and my grandmother's engagement ring. When she opened both boxes, I took her hand and looked deep in her eyes and told her to pick whichever she wanted. She took the external hard drive, even though she already has one. FML

sometimes say things like that to my mom but i'm old enough that she knows i'm not entirely serious.. you should give it to her when you die and it'll mean the world to her and she'll remember how she wanted it since she was a little girl

I've said that to my grandma since I was old enough to talk. That's one thing we always joke about.

i agree with #9 there seems to be themes of FMLs for every week... like last week it was about toilets

Maybe FML is a big social experiment, where each week they approve a bunch of articles relating to a specific theme and see how people react? [/crazy conspiracy theory] Anyway yeah, kids don't understand the concept of death. Get over it. (Also what is it with comment forms that strip faux HTML? It's not that hard to call htmlspecialchars().)

So....? My grandma always tells me what she's going to give me when she dies...

A six-year-old doesn't really understand what death means, she just knows you won't need the ring anymore. ... Since you posted it I'm guessing you saw the funny side and knew that already, but since these things can be upsetting regardless, thought I should try and be nice/helpful.
