This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff
United States
Class
Today, my five year-old daughter came up to me and asked, "Mom, why are we so poor?" I replied, in a sweet motherly tone, "Honey, we're not poor." She then asked, "Then why do you dress like we are poor?" FML

ouch, she's starting off early. i only started questioning if we were poor when i was 15. and we are, but really it doesn't matter. show your kid there are better things in life than money.

teach your kid some manners, i had way more tact than that at that age, if i had said anything like that to anybody i'd have been chin deep in shit

I saw this post when i was moderating FMLs. It was spelled all wrong and had really bad grammar. But now it doesn't. weird..

you can still dress nice even if you're poor. i buy all my clothes second-hand and get compliments all the time. but thats sad that a 5 year old thinks that you gotta be rich to look nice...

Wow you must wear the woooorst and grubbiest clothes for her to come to the conclusion that your family is poor. That is awful. YDI.

Maybe show her how real poor people in third world countries dress and see if she still feels the same.
