Today, I took my 5 year-old son to the barber shop. When the man finishes with him, I tell the guy, "while we're here, I might as well get a trim too." My son then exclaims very loudly in front of a very full barber's shop, "Dad! You don't need a haircut, you need hair!" FML
I agree, your life sucks (19955) - you totally deserved it (3771)

LOL. But it's a laugh-it-off, not an FML.
Btw, did the barber respond by saying "Sir, I'll have to charge you double - one to find the hair and the other to cut it!"
I agree with #34. The FMLs are shit these days, it is as if everyone here is a softy. I mean, come on...
op is just stupid. That is the EXACT same thing i would say to my dad. he knows better than to set himself up for that.

While we're here, get a sense of humor. YDI for not whining instead of laughing about it.

Ah, kids.... never too shy to embarrass their parents.....lol

Your kid sounds adorable, and very quick-witted. This made me laugh :)

As my dad says, bald is beautiful. :)
OP, embrace your thinning hair. Or go for the Full Monty, and shave the rest of it off! :D

Your kid is awesome. You are not. I'd say get a sense of humour, but you're probably too old and stuck in your ways to do that now, so just get used to spending the rest of your life unable to find the funny side in things, even when the joke's on you.

Aww your kid is so cute! He may grow up to be a comedian one day.
Oh, and FYI, those 3 hairs in your comb-over aren't fooling anyone.
should've told your son "just wait 30 years boy, then talk to me".

Get a sense of humor about it or the rest of your life is going to suck. You're only going to get more and more bald.

Heeheehee my sisters and I bug my dad about that all the time. He always wears a hat, so he's getting really bald. He's also got a tattoo of a decaying skull (we call it Uncle Ugly) with a little fine layer of longish hair. So we tell him he's starting to look like his tattoo. =P
If you're a balding daddy, expect to be teased.
not really a FML or a YDI. if your balding then it's not like everyone in the place couldn't already see that.

Oh boo freaking hoo. I started going bald as a freshman in High School. I'm currently completely bald, as after awhile I said "screw this" and just shaved it all off.
Any man who thinks his hair is all that important is really just a giant superficial baby. I love all these "manly men" who whine when their hair starts to go. It's just freaking hair. Suck it up. You already have kids and you're whining? I had to go through four years of high school looking like I was forty, and it didn't bother me.
Freaking baby.

You clearly have severe anger and self esteem issues, as well as a possible hatred towards those males with hair.

Hahahahaha! #38, I don't know if you were being serious or not, but best comment here.
And #37, that's a shame... why not write a FML about it?
The OP probably wanted to post a funny FML (albeit it wasn't really...) but at least he tried. Don't see you trying to make anyone laugh. :/

kids...they really have to learn when to shut up. it's cute when they look cute but the cuteness won't last...
Kids are assholes. Don't have one if you can't take it.

That's not a bald spot! It's a solar panel for your SEX MACHINE!
:)

That's when you laugh heartily and say, "Isn't he precious!"
#47 - On 09/18/2009 at 12:31pm by captainmaharet
So he announced to a barbershop that you had no hair?
OMG FYL!!!!! They had no clue that you were bald til that little shit had to go and announce it to everyone....
....cause it's not like they can SEE or nothing!
#48 - On 09/18/2009 at 12:55pm by KarasuFyre
thats not a FML, the kid was just being a 5 year old kid stating the obvious, you know your bald so why are you letting a 5 year old get to you, grow up, just laugh with the kid and everybody else that laughed
#50 - On 09/18/2009 at 1:13pm by Southernguy8503
Big deal. Kids say the darndest things. Quit whining and appreciate your son's wit.
#51 - On 09/18/2009 at 2:05pm by kaitlynadele
Well... sorry to tell you, but all the people at the barber shop probably had already noticed that before you son said it -_-
That's not a FML. Your kid was just being honest.
So? It's not like your son yelled out a secret. Everyone can see whether you're bald or not.
#55 - On 09/18/2009 at 4:13pm by Witchcraft
Aha, That's something I'd tell my own dad. Anyways, that's not something that should be an FML. It's more of a cute moment, where you wish you could just tape your kids mouth..lol.
#58 - On 09/18/2009 at 4:56pm by Cheekers1989
o.O
that's funny in the "the kid is cute" kinda way
i have no idea how your life is FML-worthy O_o
hair is hair.
Uh... what's the fml here? 5 year olds say embarrassingly rude things, but it's not going to ruin your whole life that your son pointed out something that everyone in the barber shop had probably already noticed...
#61 - On 09/18/2009 at 6:34pm by ArtandLove
I hate people's fml like this! It's not an FML! I would of just laughed! ugh this is stupid
#62 - On 09/18/2009 at 6:39pm by hisbaby4eva_55
give em a break, some ppl dont understand what an fml is
#63 - On 09/19/2009 at 12:17am by phuresh2death
that's gonna be a cute memory for you. why would you say fml when you're gonna treasure it down the road?
hey better than my dad, once this random little three year old kid went up to him and asked him "hey, why do you have ugly teeth?" LOL, but i agree ydi (:
Balding is not an option - Bald is!
Get a trimmer, and use it!
#71 - On 09/20/2009 at 4:55am by docnielsen
This is not an FML, it's cute and funny. I'd laugh if my son did that.
#72 - On 09/22/2009 at 3:48pm by LogansRun22
no offense but, this isn't an FML. grow some hair before getting a "haircut", idiot.
