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.

Kids frequently try to associate animals with people if the kid has a genuine love for animals. I can't count how many times mine has called me dog, frog, cat, and horse.

If your boyfriends name is Jonah, I will bet you make him happy. Not often does the opportunity for a biblical swallowing joke come along... had to take a shot.

She couldn't just draw a stick figure. It's still sweet that she thinks of you as a role model.

Don't take it too personally she probably made you a whale because that was the extent of her drawing prowess. When I was her age I didn't even draw stick people I drew lumps with arms and legs.

Don't take it wrong OP she considers you her role model that's all that matters!

I would look like a whale if it meant being someone's role model. You are victorious!
