Today, while out grocery shopping with my mother, she asked me to hold a large bag of rice for her. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd been absent-mindedly stroking it the whole time, just like when I pick up my cat. FML

Sheh_fml tells us more.

The bag of rice didn't have any handle, so I held it kinda resting against my torso, just like when holding my cat. I guess it has just become a habit. Loving all the puns :)

Rice needs a loving home too, you know. You're a good person for adopting it from your local grocery store.

Lack of heat, softness, a heartbeat aside, your mistake is understandable OP. Cats do share a number of genes with rice (as do we). I often wonder why my dog does not respond when I call it, and then I laugh when I realise I have been talking to my eggplant. Fun times.

And if you adopt twice more, you'll get a bag of potatoes for FREE!

We all know rice bags have a rough start out of the fields. It's good to see OP can give it love and nurture it.

what does this fml have to do with organization?

no, he's just being a jackass, as seen on the last few FML posts.

No. Rice is an inanimate object and is incapable of purring.

if you look up in time, you just may see that which is #3's joke, delicately fluttering about, just a bit above your head...

@23 If you look up in time you might notice sarcasm. Unless you're American in which case I give up.

#30: Yes, because no American could possibly understand sarcasm, let alone be sarcastic. *rolls eyes*

#10 may be being facetious. I can't tell.

Not quite facetious but not quite sarcastic.

Even without their presence, cats can manipulate a weak mind.

I wish I had an eggplant to stroke.

Aaah, You were stroking Uncle Ben. Did you convert him?

Poor SpiderMan! If he only knew what happened to his Uncle Ben?
