Today, while watching The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh with my 5 year old, I realized why the kangaroo's name is Kanga, and why her son's name is Roo. Kanga-Roo. Get it? Yeah. I didn't until today. I'm 47. FML
I agree, your life sucks (11995) - you totally deserved it (29732)

#41: It isn't stupidity. It's more that they weren't paying attention. In fact they probably didn't watch it much until they had their 5 year old. I never watched it until I started babysitting a little girl who liked watching it, then my daughter watched it now and then.

Winnie-the-pooh, the original one was based off a bear at the Winnipeg zoo (I assume) whose name was also winnipeg. The original author's son (whose name was Christopher incidently) called the bear when he saw him 'Winnipoo' and so his father wrote the books baed on winni the pooh from that
Holy crap, what's with all the buried comments? xD Did all the trolls come out to dance?

wow your 47 and you have a 5 year old? you should have started sooner, you'll die when your kid's in freakin middle school =P
#294 - On 07/04/2009 at 3:08pm by raincookie
#294, and the rest of you bashing the OP for being 47 with a 5 year old child. Shut up. It's none of your business to bash the fact shes having kids at 42, it doesn't matter if shes 42 or 24 when the child is born, what DOES matter is that she's being taken care of, loved, and is given what she needs in order to survive, and obviously if the OP was watching TV with her daughter, then shes being treated right. Not a lot of parents want to sit down and watch cartoons with their children.
#299 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:16am by MrsLeesha05
I just figured that out from reading this ;) Than again, im 13 so w/e
#38 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:51pm by fmlAllStar7274
i didn't notice that either! haha. i didn't know the moms name was kanga but i knew the little one's name was roo. this made me laugh :D
#6 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:27pm by meeeep

holy shit... i'm really not joking when i say this. I never realized that until just now. I guess i never really thought about it...
Don't feel bad OP, you're not alone.
Hey, I realized at the tender age of 25. Oh, and just recently I figured out that kellogg's Frosties are called Fosties because they are, well, frosted. What a genius I am - not.
hahahaha. that's cute. at least you never asked anyone about it :)

CAN ANYONE HERE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHY "PIGLET" IS CALLED "PIGLET"? ... I dunno... just seems so... random :OP
Lmfao, it's cuz she's a pig...
You know, PIGLET, get it?
#34 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:45pm by Soundlovex3
because he is a baby pig.
supposedly. he seems to act more like an effeminate elderly man.
#35 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:46pm by zombie_pie
Maybe because he is a baby pig and you call baby pigs piglet?????
#105 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:58pm by starbucks14
is piglet a boy or a girl....i never figured that out
and i just relized that too but im 13... xD
#121 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:25pm by MeLiSsa321123
Ugh, I hate when people say stuff like this. It's not cute when you're a teenager then it's not cute when you're 47.
"I just realized IHOP is an ACRONYM!!! Not a name!!!"
Get over it, it's not an FML. It's not even something worth talking about.
#29 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:39pm by Shlizabeth
I agree. it's just something you realize and say "oh, hah wow"..then just forget about it and go on with your day
Yes. It's the acronym for "International House Of Pancakes".
IHop-ness. Haha :P
#204 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:48am by AAAAHHHH12
the author of the book got the names and character from his kids stuffed animals. Pooh is what his son called his teddy bear when he was little
LOL they have one of those "heratige moments" on this... #58's got it
His kid liked the name... who knows
#30 = YESSS
and your life is not effed by this...its just funny
#135 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:06pm by annabobana
and the owl's name is owl and rabbit's name is rabbit.
GOOD LORD.
#31 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:41pm by iwearfeathers
^^I totally agree with you!
I'm tired of reading dumb FML's like this
F your life for thinking that was so traumatic!
yes because everyone wants to read about traumatic things here. shut the eff up and read the damn stories don't like them? stop reading them. but for the love of god stop your bitching.

I'm more bothered by the fact that she had a child after 40. Does her child have all their chromosomes?
Wait, wait, are you serious!? I never knew that either! But I'm not 47

I'm not all that surprised that the OP is an american. It seems that many are either dumb as wood, or too busy with other things, to even notice stuff like this. And in my opinion, that shows to me, that they're not all that bright.
#46 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:58pm by lun8423
Oh fuck you, you can't judge an entire country's people. Believe me or not, we don't share a single mind.
You wana come over here and say that to our face lun8243
#70 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:22pm by swimchick2012
Sure, some Americans are complete morons (the OP and everyone else who didn't get Kanga and Roo) but not all of us are. Don't perpetuate the stereotype and people will stop living up to it.
#75 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:29pm by happylittleman
Ok, really? You did NOT just say that. You probably haven't even been to America, so how can you judge us? Sure, some of us can be a little dim, but that's true in EVERY culture. I live in America, and I happen to know way more smart Americans than dumb ones.
#88 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:40pm by koko_the_koala
Think about this asshole, the VAST majority of the inventions that have changed the WORLD have come from America. How can you explain that if we are all so fucking stupid?
#95 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:46pm by under_achiver
Your a jackass. People are so quick to insult Americans, yet whenever your country needs any type of help, you all come crawling back to America because we have all the money and military power. So to lun8423, please stfu.
Yes, all Americans are dumb, we've heard it before, we'll here it again. Get something new and original to insult us with please.
How would you like it if someone read your post and used it as a basis for saying all non-Americans are rude and judgmental? Sweeping generalizations make you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. Think before posting, please.
#154 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:44pm by wafflemonger
lol @ 75. so if we stop calling you dumb shits, you'll be smarter ? i don't quite see how that works. all the americans going into a rage here are soo precious.
#222 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:35am by PTERONOPHOBIA
First, it's American. It's a proper now. Second, your second sentence has unnecessary commas in it. It should read: "It seems that many are either dumb as wood or too busy with other things to even notice stuff like this". If you're going to insult us, please do so correctly. Besides, who cares if she didn't notice something as small as this? Yeah, she's probably busy with "other things" 'cause she has a fucking kid, dumbass, and doesn't have time to sit on her ass all day and watch TV.
To Pteronophobia, if you're also going to assume that all Americans are dumb, I'm going to assume that you have hairy armpits because you're French. Please shut up and go shave.
#277 - On 07/03/2009 at 8:43pm by sickinlove13
I hope you don't every have kids, someone that cant figure out that 47 - 5 = 42 should be thrown in a pit, a very deep one.
#100 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:49pm by under_achiver
Most likely, over half of the people who are like, "OMG YOU DIDN'T FIGURE THAT OUT?!!?!!1!?!!11!!!//!!" didn't know that either. :D
#52 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:02pm by CaptainStew
so she was 38 when she had the baby. big whoop. i know someone who had a baby when she was 50.
#56 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:07pm by 4funinthesun
Did your brain melt, #56?
From what I remember of simple math, 47-5=42.
Unless the laws of simple subtraction changed, in which case 47-5=38.
...But I don't believe they have...
#187 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:16am by AAAAHHHH12

I didn't notice that 'til you pointed it out either bro

woww. hahahaha. im 12 and got that about 7 years ago. oh well. i get teased all the time cause my names actually wini. wini -the pooh. get it? hahaha. (:

I just barley realized that reading this fml
exept I'm 14
#66 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:16pm by crazysk8guy
Not a FML but hey there, I'm sick of the stereotypes about Americans. What happened to cultural competence and recognizing that each person is an individual, who is not defined by a stereotypical bias?
Anyways, I didn't realize that their names put together spelled "Kanga-roo" intentionally. I thought that Kanga and Roo were cute short nicknames of the animal, kangaroo. Cool!
I am bright like a light bulb, thank you very much. Killer watt-smile :D o yeah...
#71 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:24pm by MissBunnyfufu

People are fucking morons. I hate you, don't reproduce.
And, really? 47 with a 5 year old... I know people are living longer and shit, but after a certain age people need to stop having kids. It's just creepy.
#80 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:34pm by happylittleman
I never even knew the mother's name was Kanga. I probably didn't pay attention when I was little.
#81 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:34pm by FFPianoDude
ommmg lmfao i didn't know that either .. im 17 but stillll i guess you really do learn something new everyday !
Ok, people on here can just be so mean sometimes! I don't get that! She obviously just thought it was cute that she didn't notice such an obvious thing after 47 years. She didn't literally mean she was fussing and crying over it. Even if you don't think it's a "true FML," why do you have to be so mean when you're telling her that? :P
#85 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:36pm by koko_the_koala
Lol i learn something new everyday. Lolz I never really thought about it that way xD
#86 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:37pm by DangerousBabee
its alright
that never occured to me either.
amuseing FML though :D:D:D:D!

i realized that quite a few years ago, but i miss simple stuff like that a lot, too.
#91 - On 07/02/2009 at 9:44pm by ooouuuccchhh
Theres nothing wrong with having a child at 42. Its kind late, but not terrible. Maybe he just didnt get married till then
but it's a woman. Not a good idea to have kids after 40. Hopefully the kid is adopted.
#108 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:00pm by scorpioserpent
LOL this isnt really FML, tbh...
what is wrong with FML these days! why are they posting all these unFMLworthy posts!
getting BORING.
#109 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:02pm by staciieee_x3
....Wow, i never even noticed that...lmfao. Oh wells im 16 >.> still i have no excuse either xD i should have known. Still, thats funny as hell.
#110 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:02pm by thelovelykira
That is funny! It's also funny because I never realized that until now either, and I never would have known unless I read that, and I'm 18. Then again, I'm a guy and never paid much attention to that show. It is fun to laugh at oneself occasionally.
wow.... that's all i can really say. I kinda figured that out when I was 3 but yeah wow.
#115 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:12pm by MRS_JACOB_BLACK
It's alright, I never knew piglet was a baby pig. I thought piglet was just his name. I didn't realize it until last year, then again, I'm only 15.

#125 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:34pm by AhhhLeeGee
I just figured that out too, so no hard feelings. Then again .. I'm 13. Maybe it\s because last time you actualyl saw the show you were seven or something ? No worries.
#127 - On 07/02/2009 at 10:44pm by LadyCianne
I'm just a little surprised that 47 year old's are reading FML's, posting them....and had children at 42. Very amazed.
Oh thank god you told me that, I'm 20 and I didn't know that either...
To be fair though, I've hated Whinne the Pooh my entire life and barely ever watched it.

#149 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:30pm by FlaminYawn
Maybe you didn't know because fucking winnie the pooh didn't exist back in your god forsaken times
#156 - On 07/02/2009 at 11:51pm by Shyman4ever
Actually, one of the first Winnie the Pooh stories was originally written in 1926, and Disney has been producing animations since 1966, when the OP would have been about 14. So what exactly did you mean, when you said Winnie the Pooh wasn't around in the OP's time? Even if she had been too old for the animations, she could have read the books.
The OP would've been around seven in 1966, not fourteen. That would make them born in 1952, making them 57, not 47...just sayin'.
#195 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:29am by AAAAHHHH12
Whoops i meant the OP would've been 4 in 1966, not 14..that would be 1976..like #192 said...
#199 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:42am by AAAAHHHH12
Hell, I didn't even know there was a kangaroo in winnie the pooh.
And great, my sentence rhymed.

#175 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:08am by _Oh_My_God_
I'm guessing you probably haven't figured out why the rabbit is named "Rabbit" yet either.....
#180 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:38am by _musical_addict_
Although I've read W-t-P in Russian, I could never figure out what "Trespassers W" meant, up till I turned 13 and thoroughly thought about it :)
But Kanga and Roo were always clear to me ^^
#181 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:47am by Lil_Ms_Trble
Come to think of it, why is Bugs Bunny's name "Bugs?" He's not a bug.
#182 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:48am by christopherlove
Because when the Bugs Bunny cartoons were first created, there was a gangster named Bugsy Malone. "Bugs" Bunny was meant to indicate that he was somewhat lawless.
actually, every Warner Brothers cartoon documentary I've ever seen states that Bugs bunny was created by an animator named Ben "Bugs" Hardaway and when the character of a bunny was proposed many animators submitted their designs. The design labeled as " Bugs' bunny" was chosen and the name stuck. I've never heard any reference to Bugsy Malone.

uh #129, the OP is 47, so he would've been 14 in 1976, not 1966. Don't correct someone and then proceed to fail at math all in the same breath...

Ive learned more in the replies then a week in school. FML sun-rise sun-set after-noon FML if he's normal I must be above avarage.
I wouldn't consider you too stupid to get it, I'd say you're too smart to pay attention to that kind of thing.
I feel sorry for your poor kid,
the kid is only 5 years old and the mother is already nearly 50.
peers are going to ask the kid if it's the grandmother that picks him/her up from school.
imagine when the kid is 15 and the mother is nearly 60.
ahaha , 15 - prime bullying years.
poor kid.
nice work having a kid so late (Y)
Who the hell cares how old they were when they had their daughter, the point is they are there for her and that she's healthy. I'm sick of seeing these posts talking about the person's and child's age. That part is not the point of the post. The point was that they didn't realize Kanga-Roo. *rolls eyes* FYL for caring so damn much about age.

I just noticed it too. But I never really watched so I got a reason lol
#206 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:54am by MarissaGee
don't worry i never got it either!!!
Fact until you mentioned it, i always thought the writers just weren't creative.

um winnie the pooh - his name is told in the stories - he had his arms stuck up above his head once and a fly kept landing on his nose so he would go "pooh" to swat it away and that's how he got his name - thats my memory from reading the book.....
as for kanga-roo, i spose if you're american you don't rly have kangaroos around, unlike here in australia where i live, everyone would get it straight away...
ay yo #205 my mother is fuckn 51 and shes fuckn HOT. so bitch watch the fuck out what yur sayin. sorry yur mother prolly looks older than mine. iight stfu!

ok, so to all the retards out there (I'm so sorry I don't mean it) here are the origins of the names as I was taught:
A. A. Milne, the author of the original book, created these characters based off his son Christopher Robin's toys and their imaginary adventures. His toy bear was named after I think an ostrich named Winnie and a different zoo animal named pooh.
Tigger is obviously from the word tiger and rather than pounce he bounced. You can thank childhood innocence for that.
Piglet is a boy (no more confusion) and he is named Piglet cause he's a small pig.
Rabbits a male rabbit
Eeyore I'm just gonna guess is derived from "ear"? like a donkey ear? Maybe it's more kid speak.
Kanga + Roo = Kangaroo haha I realized that at like age 5
Owl's an owl
I think that's it hope you've been enlightened!
#214 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:23am by deathbunny256
Eeyore is the noise that a donkey makes. or Hee-haw perhaps. get it?
someone said the vast majority of inventions that changed the world were American. It's things like that that make the rest of the world think you are stupid, dumbass.
Any idea how many world-changing inventions came from the middle-east that you are bombing the shit out of? A lot of fundamental mathematics, enabling most of the amazing stuff that happens today to happen. many other things as well.
americans might not all be dumb, but you certainly are #95
WOAH!!! Haha! I didn't know that.
But I also didn't know that Dumbo got drunk and that is why he (or she) was hiccuping

this is not a fml nobody cares if you didn't put 2 and 2 together untill now
#220 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:22am by Nightfallz
haha I didn't found out until a year ago. I was 15
#225 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:50am by mylifesucksoften
Not an FML, who cares if you didn't realize that? It's an FYL that u care.
#226 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:12am by Ub3r_Crippl3
Who the hell cares how old she was when she had her child? All that matters is that the child has a good life, and is loved, and theres no way you could make a judgement about that based on this fml. So seriously, leave off.
#228 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:54am by Muse_89
umm i got this when i was like 5... people these days need to use their brains more...
#229 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:58am by iloveericmaynor
I hate FMLs that are like this! Because this is not something that really makes your life fucked, you were either a little slow about something or stupid about but complaining about it is just sad to me
For example, the one about the person who spent 3 hours washing the soap to get the picture on in off, who cares! it was how they chose to spend their time how is their life fucked?
I remember the day when that dawned on me. I was around 12. It was the happiest day of my life. FML.
#235 - On 07/03/2009 at 9:42am by sarasarasarasara
Wow. I actually didn't realize that until I read this. Oy. That's pretty pathetic.
#237 - On 07/03/2009 at 10:24am by super_jew82
i hadnt realized that either until now but im 14 and ur 47 lol pathetic u were watching cARTOONS
#241 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:29am by pRePoLiCoUs15
She has a fucking five-year-old! Clearly, you don't know anything about parenting. Oh wait, y0ouU tYiiiPeZzZ LYiikEe DiiZz. You must be about 9 years old. Get off the internet.
#242 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:36am by anniebananie
Woahh. I only knew Roo's name xD I had nooo idea that his moms name was Kanga..... But yeah. I coulda figured that out if I watched Winnie-The-Pooh frequently. I almost never see pooh on TV anymore D; Hahah thats kinda sad, Im 16 and I want to watch Winnie-The-Pooh.....
#247 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:09pm by ISeeStarsBitchh
Same thing happened to me. I mean, I'm not your age, I'm younger, but still. I watched Winnie The Pooh all the time when I was a kid, and never got it until last year.
#248 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:21pm by audreys_life
Don't worry, it was a complete surprise to me when I found out....course I was seven, but still totally didn't see it coming
#249 - On 07/03/2009 at 1:22pm by skippydoda
I never knew that lol an im 16, i didn't even remember watching it though, whatever its just a kid's show, Kudos to you for having a kid when you were 42 though.
#251 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:00pm by Scotticus117
Haha! I just noticed that last week! I was in the car with my family and explained it to them and they were like, "Uhmmmm Yeah. It's a show for little kids."
I agree with poster 134. This isn't an FML...Seriously, some of these FMLs are pretty pathetic. Not every silly thing that happens to you is an FML. No one really cares if you've discovered the meaning of Kanga and Roo.
#255 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:28pm by Kris2476
:D thanks!
this is so great i never knew why her name was kanga it seemed jus like a weird name to me....
I never paid attention to the mother's name. That's cute haha =)
#258 - On 07/03/2009 at 2:41pm by Yoursxtruely
ok, so i actually remember realizing this when i was 5. cooool.
#263 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:15pm by aly_mixed_up
Gah I did the same thing too!! when I was sitting in my ap psychology class....everyone laughed..
#266 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:54pm by bubblesrawr
hahah thats pretty clever. after watching alot of kids shows with my very little brothers I start to get all the little things put into the shows! that's the last thing I thought about when I was 5 and watching Pooh
#268 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:35pm by ChuckDuck
Yeah, I didn't get it until now either, but that's probably because I'm from Norway and they have different names up here xD
#270 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:55pm by junomcguff
LOL no worries, I didn't realize that till a few weeks ago either lol so you shouldn't feel bad at all.
#271 - On 07/03/2009 at 5:57pm by Schennerlove
LOL i bet not many people realized that either :P
i didnt noe that until NOW thanks
ahhah
#272 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:12pm by breathemein
well. im not quite 47. im 16. haha and winnie the poo is my favorite :)

#278 - On 07/03/2009 at 11:00pm by emmahleerose
i agree, and i admit i didn't know til now.. haha that's so cool that you realized it LOL
#280 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:02am by XXnidocivXX
WOW,I didnt either. Then I just went out to tell my mom(cause i thought it was epic!), and she looked at me and told me she just figured i knew. =[
#279 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:02am by katieControl
holy shit!!
that is just sad...
not even close to an FML
more of a "I'm retarded" then anything else
shit man. i'm 25 and I dont think i would have gotten that for the rest of my life if I didn't just read it here
#286 - On 07/04/2009 at 4:21am by ConSeannery
Omg. It DOES!! I havent noticed!! And ive been watching it for a while too!! Wow, im an idiot. O-o
#291 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:59pm by loveurlifeJK
hahahaha really? i watch it all the time while babysitting and i didnt even notice. Apparently I'm smrt
#292 - On 07/04/2009 at 1:27pm by fallonbaby47
I don't know whats more sad... That I read this FML and laughed at the stupidity or that I didn't realize the same thing until I read the FML. Wow... fml
#293 - On 07/04/2009 at 2:47pm by PotatoBlankey39
um it's fine you didn't realize that, but this isn't really an FML
#297 - On 07/04/2009 at 10:56pm by rachaelberri
Well it's only an fml if u actually pay attention to the show which most parents don't so don't b too hard on yourself
Hey, you aren't alone in that. I didn't really care about it, but hell, I didn't notice it until I read your FML. XD
What the hell does LMAO mean? Seriously. I'm getting kinda confused about its usage, it seems to be as versataile as 'fuck.'
#308 - On 07/15/2009 at 6:55pm by livingdeath
Wow, oyu just pointed that out to me. Haha I never realized that, either. Don't feel bad :D
#310 - On 07/19/2009 at 7:52pm by xXmoses_rocksXx
