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

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, I realized my wedding ring was missing. Turns out, my son had taken it to give to a girl he likes in the second grade. 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

Just be the cool grandmother and give it to her now. You will see the precious smile on her face and it will be worth it :)

If she's only 6, she probably doesn't even understand death, so I doubt she meant anything by it... other than she liked your ring. But yeah, I agree with #15... you're a grandma and using FML? That's awesome!

I bet the kid has innocently heard other rels staking out your jewelry!! Gramma can you make a noise like a frog? Why do you ask Britney? Cos momma says when you croak we're going to Disneyland! Yes to #9 - and doesn't it make fml boring for dedicated readers?

Dude, don't be too down about it. My cousins and siblings and I say that all the time to my grandparents because they know we love them, and wouldn't say things like that to people we didn't love. Plus, it also means that we want reminders of them when they pass. It's no big deal, I actually think it's really funny. Especially when we all stake claim to her 15 cats, ahahaha. I love having a cat-woman for a grandma!

When I was 6, my grandma (who was in perfect health at the time and still is) opened up her jewlery box and asked me to pick out all the peices I wanted for after she passed away. I believe that was more traumatic than what your granddaughter did.
