Today, while watching TV at my mother's house, a tornado warning came across the screen. After being in the dark, nasty basement for half an hour, my mom realized she was watching a recorded show, and that tornado warning was for 2 weeks ago. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the tornado sirens went off so my family went to the basement and turned on the TV to the local news. The station goes to their sky cam as a trampoline flies by. Quite the sight. When the storm passed, I looked outside to see our trampoline was gone. It was the one flying by on TV. FML
Today, I've not had any contact with my mother for years, and when tornadoes came through our hometown and wiped out most of our downtown area, she didn't contact me at all. I finally contacted her myself. Her reason for not contacting me? She had "watched the news" and "knew I was OK." FML
Today, my house was damaged by a tornado. I called my mother to see if I could stay with her for a few days. Her response? "I warned you not to move in with a man. This is God's way of punishing you." I've been married to said man for almost a year now. FML
Today, we had a tornado warning and I told my parents I loved them, just in case. My dad just said, "See you in Kansas." FML
Today, I went to help a friend move into her new apartment. We were half-way through when it started to rain, and in my anger I yelled that it's like these things happen just to annoy me. Then we heard the tornado sirens. FML
Today, a tornado watch has been instituted in my town. At this moment, I have violent diarrhea, and my toilet sits right in front of a window. FML
Today, my mom's intense fear of tornadoes caused her to break into the bathroom, drag me off the toilet while I was changing my tampon, and drag me to the basement with my pants around my ankles to join my father, brother, and my brother's best friend. FML
Today, I came home from my aunt's funeral to find my basement flooded due to a sewer backup. FML
Today, there was a forest fire in my town. I was still forced to go to school, as it was safer. A lot of people decided not to go, and we ended up doing nothing but watching the news reports. There, I got to see my house burning on live TV. FML
Today, I had to wait an hour in the awful rain for my mom to pick me up, because she didn't realize the clocks had gone forward already. FML

You're probably lucky you didn't get hit by a tornado 2 weeks ago

Reminds me of shows like America's Best Dance Crew where it says "Do not vote, pre-recorderd"

Just because there's a tornado warning doesn't mean there's a tornado. We get tornado warnings all the time, and nothing ever happens.

Sometimes there is no working it out. My mom, even though I love her, has had falling outs here and there with both me and my older brother. I hadn't talked to her for 2 years until this past March, and it's not the first time we've done that. I haven't talked to her in a couple months since I started talking to her again. My brother went several years without talking to her at one point. We do love her, but she can be a bitch and is a really sucky mom. She's more someone you just hang out with here or there. If you want to talk to her, you have to call. She won't call you. But, anywho, sorry for the novel lol. Just saying sometimes it's the parent who is ruining everything and there's nothing you can or want to do about it.
