Today, I went to see a dinosaur exhibition with my mum. We walked around and saw a huge dinosaur, made of plastic and rubber. She was very disappointed, saying that she thought there would be real live dinosaurs for us to see. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the Natural History Museum with my boyfriend. While we were standing in front of real dinosaur bones, he told me he didn't believe in dinosaurs. FML
Today, my mom and I went to the mall to look for some boxer briefs. While looking, I saw two girls I knew from school, so I went over to say hello. At least, that was my plan, but my mom screamed, "Look! These have dinosaurs on them!" They left the store giggling. FML
Today, I went to a costume party dressed as a giant inflatable dinosaur. I got stuck in the elevator and had to be deflated to get out. FML
Today, my husband and I were watching Jurassic Park. At the end of the movie, he commented on how amazed he was that they could "train those dinosaurs" to do exactly what they wanted them to do. FML
Today, I came home to find my girlfriend crying. Concerned, I quickly asked her what was wrong. She told me tearfully that she couldn't understand why her pet lizards hadn’t grown into dinosaurs yet, and that pet store had cheated her. I’m still concerned now, but for entirely different reasons. FML
Today, I surprised my four year-old daughter with a stuffed dinosaur. She named it "Horny". FML
Today, I went to the zoo to see all of my favorite animals. When I got there, I realized they must've all been on strike or something, and refused to come out of their enclosures. FML
Today, our family went to a water park. The park's mascot came up to greet us, and my daughter got scared. She then refused to go inside, so we had no choice but to leave. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend, who is a fully-grown man, that making dinosaur noises in public is no longer acceptable. FML
Today, I showed my mom a picture of a baby sloth. She then said, "Wait, sloths are real?" She thought Ice Age made them up. FML

"Don't worry mom you're still here.". This would have cheered her up.

The only time the words "you're adopted" are good...

Real dinosaurs my backside. Everyone knows that they never existed. If they did, then why haven't we cloned them ? Come on people wake up and stop being so gullible. Next you'll tell me that the moon landing was real or that there was water on Mars...

Anyone think of the possibility that her mom meant real as in bones and not plastic?

45, real LIVE dinosaurs. Read before making shitty comments like that.
br0dawg 6
I did, 45. why else would OP even bother to add that little detail about the dinosaurs bones? tsk tsk everyone's so quick to call the mom an idiot too. maybe the "real, live" part of the post is what's throwing 'em off. I immediately assumed she meant to 'real', preserved bones
Angitia 8
You too, 48.
br0dawg 6
haha take your own shitty advice, girl. there's nothing wrong with my comment, it's just exploring the possibility.

I also believe she meant bones. I would have been disappointed as well. There are other uses of the word "live" for example at the museum I bet there was a real live mummy exhibit! Guess what, he's dead too.

I'm going to say it. YO MAMA SO DUMB SHE REALLY REALLY DUMB

Not quite. There has been new advances in Dino DNA studies. They have actually been reverse engineering chickens back into dinosaurs. They also recently found Dino feathers preserved in amber. It actually isn't so far off as one might think. They've been killing them soon as they hatch but they made Dino-chickens by turning on and off proteins in embryo to give then Dino tails and fangs. DNA tests also show chickens are descended from trex. Consider that as you eat your KFC ;)

"Real live mummy exhibit"? That phrase to me implies that the mummies are alive, and so does "real live dinosaurs". And where exactly does the OP say anything about dinosaur bones?
GoldenGrizzly 7
It's just an expression. "Real live" is just a form of real life... which would mean at some point it was alive and not plastic.

49 - why u insult everyone you think has less intelligence than you? That is a fast way to lose friends

Did you ever think she may of meant the mechanical kind? Moving its head and roaring from a speaker? Dipshit.

19 they have cloned dinosaurs, haven't you seen jurassic park?
sadistmonkey 19
That STILL doesn't make sense because the word "real" alone expresses the fact that the mummies are real (hence were once alive). The moment you use the word "live", it means that it is currently alive. A dinosaur skeleton is a real dinosaur (a part of one anyway) that used to be alive but is not a "real live dinosaur". Also, I'm pretty sure that the OP wouldn't put this on FML if the mom didn't literally expect a live T Rex walking around.

You're a bit of an idiot aren't you?

No.

48, she said "live" This is what "throws people off?"

As #80 said, "real live" is just an expression. Expressions almost never mean the same as the exact literal meanings of the words in them.

And hope you ain't gonna be as dumb as them in the future if you do happen to be their heir.
ladyLALAA 29
And if you are hope to god you're pretty...
MatheusRajuidas 5
Cause if you're dumb you are also ugly.... Nice logic.
MoodyBlue320 11
No, he just meant that if you're dumb, then you better or be pretty or life's gonna be really hard for that person.

Thank you 52, I'm not that mean.

Gullible much?
Sinamoi 18
No, not gullible. OP's mom wasn't tricked, (that we know of) she's just lacking a bit in the common sense department.

Haha. You should have told her, "Mum, this isn't damn Jurassic Park! Gosh! Idiot!" (You don't have to add idiot if you don't want.)

And why would you say that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are real dinosaurs?

Old people these days

Get her a time machine. :p
HeartOfLead 24
Hah! She was only saying that because... *drumroll please* Yo mama so old she had a pet dinosaur! on a side note, she only wished to see him again and was hoping today was her lucky day.

Somehow im getting the idea that your mom doesnt go out much or read much about the world or sumtin like that.. I wonder what else she has done with ignorance..

did you ever consider she ment ACTUAL dinosaur bones??? pretty sure t-Rex wasnt made of plastic...
batummshakalaka 1
Solid point.
noshatsherlockk 15
Except she said she thought there was going to be real 'live' dinosaurs. Maybe it was just her using a figure of speech.
xgetxbentx 13
She did use the word "live".... Bones aren't exactly live.

That is what i thought 2
mattorama 15
Museums don't show "actual" dinosaur bones in the first place. They're too fragile and valuable. Plus, you know, it kind of very clearly says "real LIVE dinosaurs" in the OP.
jerseyboy732 16
70 you've obviously never been to the museum of natural history in DC. they have real bones on display
Unlucky_Gun 0
Yeah I agree with 30, OP's mom thought the dinosaurs were live and dinosaur bones aren't 'real live' dinosaurs
False_Stupidity 42
I use the expression 'real live' to mean the real thing, as in not fake plastic shit, not necessarily to mean something that's alive.. It's possible the OP's mum does this too.
ohSNAPyall 27
85 you've obviously never seen "Jurassic Park."
