Today, I had to help my little sister do a first-grade project for school. For one part, they have to draw a picture of their role model. She drew a whale, and I asked, "A whale is your role model?" She laughed and said, "No! It's you!" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my little sister asked me what she would look like when she got older. I told her that she would probably look a lot like me. She started to cry. FML
Today, my 5-year-old daughter had to find pictures of animals that she felt represented each member of her family. This was the one she chose for me. I think she might be trying to imply something. FML
Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML
Today, at the Mommy and Me dance class that I take my four year old daughter to, the instructor had us do a stretch, telling us to pretend we're mermaids. My daughter said to me, "But you're not a mermaid, you're a whale!" FML
Today, my sister finished a project about something she hates. Me. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my teacher for always comparing me to my sister that she had a few years before. After I said, "I'm not my sister so please stop comparing me to her," she responded, "Of course you're not your sister, I actually like your sister." FML
Today, I had to get my picture taken for a volunteer badge at the hospital. My sister came home and told my parents that she'd had a horrible day at work. They showed her my picture to cheer her up. FML
Today, my 5-year-old daughter drew a picture of our family. A typical drawing for a 5-year-old. Sticks and straws. One had two round shapes on its chest. "Is that mommy and is that one me?" I asked. "No daddy," she said. "You’re this one," she said while pointing out the one with boobs. FML
Today, we were drawing self-portraits in school. I'm horrible at art, so I turned to the person next to me and stated that mine looked really ugly. He replied saying, "No, it looks exactly like you." FML
Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Think of the bright side! You're her role model and you inspire her! Even if you might look like a whale!

Whale, whale, whale, looks like it's time to teach the little spout some manners, you can't wait until it all blows over.

I'd say depends on her age...

I used to draw heads with arms and legs coming out from them, so I can understand the possible misinterpretation.

"first-grade project for school".

Hey, I drew like that too.

Someone needs to teach her some manners.

First grade is like 5-6 years old. It's understandable.
LuckBeNimble 19
yes, as 18 said she wasn't being mean. the subject of focus was "role model" after all. backhanded compliment at worst.

She's in first grade... She wasn't calling OP a whale or insinuating she was one, it was an attempt to draw a person.. And for first grade, that's pretty darn cute

Umm, last time I checked first graders weren't idiots. They know the difference between a whale and a person. They also know how to draw stick people, unless over the years people have lost that 'skill'. It's not really cute, how would you like it if a first grader drew a picture of 'you' and it looked like a whale? You'd probably react the same way.

62, there is no way a stick figure can look fat. So she did not drew a stick figure. I for one never have. People aren't sticks, unless extreme anorexia is combined with the absence of bones. Nobody taught me that people are sticks, so I always made circles (body looks like 0). And so did that little girl. Circles as bodies can look "fat". Thus with malformed ones, one could think of whales. As mentioned, the kid probably didn't mean to offend either.

Exactly. Teach her how to kill harp seals by attacking from below.

She's a little kid OP, she doesn't know any better. Don't take it to hard. :)

Don't take it up the butt. Little sisters sometimes tend to do things that may annoy you.
dontpanic_fml 32
Like call you their role model? I'd be far too beside myself over that to mind the whale thing too much...I mean, a little punch to the self esteem but there was no ill intent. Not what I'd consider one of those annoying little sibling traits.

#30 I was referring to the fact that the younger sister may have drawn the OP a certain way on purpose . I wasn't referring to the fact that the little one called her a role model. Duh. My younger munchkin drew me as a eggplant once on purpose but as a headline wrote "My Role Model" .
dontpanic_fml 32
Well I understand that, obviously, but I wouldn't have taken that as the little sister drawing a whale on purpose at all. Didn't even think of that. I think there may be some over-interpreting of a six year old's blob drawing here...
