Today, I asked my mom if I could join my friends in getting lessons in self defense. My mom told me that I didn't need them because my face was a better weapon to repel anyone. FML

Start leaving brochures for the worst nursing homes in town laying around the house.

#2 - On 06/01/2009 at 9:57am by Dogmaw

Inform her that you got all your looks from her.

#3 - On 06/01/2009 at 9:58am by fortytwo

Some old people are just so bitter towards any kind of youth. Dont take it personally

#4 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:07am by emer_helena

As if attackers really take a good look at your face anyway...

#5 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:07am by redbluegreen

Such a fucking bitch doesn't deserve to be called "mom".
By the way, are you sure she actually IS your mother ?

#6 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:07am by RLJJ

HAHA #1 is hilarious!

Yea pretty bitchy thing to say for a mom, but hey, she could've just been joking... right?

#7 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:08am by gaby904

Wow. What a bitch.

What system were you planning on learning?

#8 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:09am by Jackthestripper

#10 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:10am by laurisshnazzy

LOL owned!

#11 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:13am by lol_seriously

well that's sad but please don't get just any boyfriend just to "prove" her she's wrong.
keep in mind that she has got a problem, not you.
it sucks anyway

#12 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:14am by gatita

LOLOL OWNED. But yeah just tell her you got them from her.

#13 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:16am by Jankae

Take a few punches to the face. It might straighten some shit up, or get it bad enough for surgery.

FYMom.

#14 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:21am by rukusrazor

Haha do what #2 said.

#15 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:33am by lovesucksxxx

:O

You should say that you got your genes from her
or something similar

what a bitch
that's so out of order

:O

#16 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:36am by xHaniffax

Ouch, sounds like she's being cheap so she doesn't have to pay for it. Don't take it to heart. Sorry

AHAHAHAHAHAHA :]
MADE MY MORNING
thankyouu

#19 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:09am by lovely997

That sounds downright abusive. Can't fight stupid, but hey, if she says that kind of stuff a lot, remind her that you get your looks from her. She'll hate that.

#20 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:12am by justme001

Haha, your mom owned you good

#21 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:15am by ohdamn

parent of the year -_-

#22 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:45am by DarkMirror

Aaaaannnnd, offspring comes in with the "self-defense lesson" play, which is cleverly shut out by Mom's "ugly face" attack, which could give her a 2X bonus for comeback and making the final score...

Mom - 1
Your face - 0

That bites. But it is pretty dope. Sense of humor? Ask her again, see if she was serious.

#23 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:02pm by DrAwesome

LOL @ 3

#24 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:07pm by jayfx

Wow #18

1.Thats a staff member and 2. You do know that this website was started by the French right?

To the OP: Tell your mom you got your looks from her.

#25 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:09pm by InnocentNique

Maybe she's right. Maybe you could use your face as a weapon. Headbutt her to death.

#26 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:17pm by PyroMicky

You have the most unlucky superpower.

#27 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:21pm by NoMercy

ahahahahahahahaha

#31 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:56pm by calmthefuck_down

I love your mom.
But seriously, if you're that ugly, she's probably not so good looking either to begin with.

#32 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:02pm by Praesse

well, if you're fighting and you want to use that to your advantage, wear a mask at first so when you take it off it's like a surprise attack of ugly

#34 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:24pm by 420bliss

I thought ugly people were the one who got teased and what not. So yeah, if you are "that ugly" better get some lessons.
And your mom is an ass.

#35 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:36pm by bosco_kk

Wow, that's just totally...amazing. I mean, what sort of mom is that?

#36 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:36pm by hahayou12345

At least your mom is realistic, and honest.
I know moms who are always flattering their children saying OMG YOU ARE LIKE THE BEST LOOKING KID IN THE WORLD, when those kids look like a modern version of Frankenstein and Fiona.
One thing is confidence..and another one being delusional.
FYL anyway lol.

#37 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:42pm by bosco_kk

Your mom's funny.

#38 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:12pm by Hellcrapdamn

OMG xD hahahaha... U should consider plastic surgery ;]

#39 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:13pm by sarcasticbitch

ahaha #3
#9; omfg are you serious, ofc not all of them know kung fu. >:0 They know taekwondo. ;D

"From a luxury limited to the wealthy a decade ago, according to ARA, plastic surgery has become so common that an estimated 30 percent of Korean women aged 20 to 50, or some 2.4 million women, had surgical or nonsurgical cosmetic procedures last year, with many having more than one procedure."
See www for source.

#40 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:24pm by altna

Even though your mom doesn't have to tell you that you look like a supermodel, I don't think it was very nice of her to say something like that. I wouldn't say that was a great example of parenting, and I can't even fathom what kind of lesson you could learn from a comment like that.

#41 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:37pm by robodoll

OH MY GOD YOUR MOM OWNED YOU!!!
Props to her for that.

#42 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:42pm by bbfan93

tell her that you had to have gotten your looks from someone :D

#43 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:50pm by dan81892

She's a jealous bitch cause you probably got the looks she doesn't have :)

#44 - On 06/01/2009 at 2:59pm by krisFrAnHeehar

lmao mom should have said - yea you should go to the class because someone already beat you with the ugly stick, i don't think you can take another beaten!

#45 - On 06/01/2009 at 3:03pm by leaf52382

Just say: "Hey mom! I think you'd look better if you woke with an axe lodged deep into your skull, Good night mom!"

#46 - On 06/01/2009 at 3:05pm by Hey_Darl

YDI for posting a JOKE your mother said as an FML. Clearly she is just kidding, and you probably laughed along as well.

#47 - On 06/01/2009 at 3:23pm by Shlizabeth

#2 is my hero

#48 - On 06/01/2009 at 3:23pm by treli1593

HAHA, i wish my mam would say things like that.

#49 - On 06/01/2009 at 3:27pm by nautical

#50 - On 06/01/2009 at 4:04pm by 24788

+1 for Mom. She's obviously a clever one. xD

Don't take it seriously, she was joking.

#51 - On 06/01/2009 at 4:14pm by CyclonePsycho

lol don't worry, she was probably kidding and didn't want to pay for the self-defense lesson.

#57 - On 06/01/2009 at 4:59pm by ladykitty

#2, you are a genious.
OP: I hope she was joking.

#58 - On 06/01/2009 at 5:11pm by spillproof

#61 - On 06/01/2009 at 5:28pm by DangerousBabee

I have such a hard time believing that a mother would actually say this, but I guess it's possible...
FYL because that's a bitchy thing to say, and it's not fair.

Also, listen to #3. o_o

#62 - On 06/01/2009 at 5:33pm by SiLveRStaRLIGHT

You're parent is a bitch.

#63 - On 06/01/2009 at 5:48pm by AnnieSure

LMFAOOOOO oh god.xD thats something my mom would say.

#64 - On 06/01/2009 at 5:52pm by ericabella18

a lot of parents are bitches, why do you think tons of people are homeless because they dropped out of high school? (no offense to the people who dropped out of high school and had success with their life)

#65 - On 06/01/2009 at 6:28pm by shadow_duv

FYL, but is it true?

#66 - On 06/01/2009 at 6:31pm by again

I'm so sick of all these parents who are bitches on here.
Don't get me wrong... the FMLs are funny... but the parents are just bitches.

FYL, my friend.

#76 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:39pm by unrememorable

#77 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:48pm by hottiegurl

I would've said that no mom would ever say that to her daughter, but I can see it coming from an Asian mother. But... I thought Asians were born with Martial Art skills =(

#81 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:27pm by ccyto

#82 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:42pm by hi_im_kevin

#86 - On 06/01/2009 at 11:57pm by Luv4pink1721

You should've said, "Only if I got it from you, mum."

Sounds like she -may have- been joking though... hopefully!

#87 - On 06/02/2009 at 12:21am by HyperFlirt

As a mom, I find it really hard to believe any parent would speak to their child that way but if it's true I'm so sorry.

#129 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:53am by AshleyRose784

You can pay her back by sending her to a foster home when she's old and poor.

She was probably choking. But it was still insensitive

No, she's right. It's all in the eyes. You can crush any boy/girl's hearts to pieces, or scare the heck out out of people with just a simple glance of the eyes.

Sounds like a stereotypical South Korean joke... Hopefully she wasn't serious...

lol. im korean and this is just a joke from korea. my mom told me this when i was younger, of course she was just kidding. and besides if she actually meant that ur mom is just a effing bitch, and otherwise she would be insulting herself.
