Today, I was awakened by a small scary dark figure approaching me while making creepy noises. I screamed, kicked it away, and buried my face under my pillow. Later, after braving up, I turned on the lights. It was my sick 3-year-old niece, now dazed and coughing blood. FML

Words can't describe how this story makes me feel. I will say this however, I think you need some very serious psychiatric help.

You know, most people would have turned the light on first. And most people also remember when they're in a house with other people, even when they've fallen asleep in the meantime. So I'm sort of wondering why your first instinct wasn't "It's probably (niece's name)", and instead you went with "Ah! Chucky! ******* die!", then kicked the poor kid. This isn't an FML for you, or even a YDI. I just feel really bad for your niece.

You ought to take her to McDonald’s because evidently, that fixes everything. Get her a Slappy Meal?

Not to defend the actions and all of OP, but has it occured to any of you that upon waking up from a deep sleep, and your brain hasn't gotten a chance to truly comprehend being awake, it's dark, and you see something unrecognizable with abnormal noises coming for you, you're not going to at least get a slight panic rush? No, OP shouldn't have kicked the kid, but not everyone is instantly awake and focused upon waking from any kind of sleep.

Yeah, I would’ve done the same thing. My initial first reaction whenever something sneaks up on me is kick. My brain just does it independent of actual thought.

OMG. That's soooo something I would do! 😆 I never have kids around me, I'd totally forget there's one and freak out!

These comments are overly harsh. It was an accident; she was startled awake by unnatural sounds and movements that she wasn't used to, and she reacted. She probably already feels horrible enough about it. Calm down guys.

A toddler's sounds now are unnatural? Ok...

“Creepy noises” would be considered unnatural yes
