Today, a four-year-old said a word that I didn't know the meaning of. I had to look up the definition. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my four year-old daughter asked me what the word “necrophilia” means. I have no idea where she even heard that. FML
Today, I heard my son use the word "exacerbated". I had to look it up to see if he had correctly used it, which he had, because I couldn't remember what it meant. I'll be 23 next week. He's not even 4. FML
Today, a tourist from an English-as-second-language country taught me a new word. In English. FML
Today, my 4 year-old daughter's favorite expression became "shit balls." FML
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Today, a 4 year-old saw me and started crying and screaming like heck. I mean, I knew that I didn't look good, but this is too much. FML
Today, I had to use a dictionary before I realized I was being flirted with. FML
Today, my four year-old very loudly asked me if the little person she saw at the shops was like that because he didn't eat his vegetables. He definitely heard. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, my 3-year-old son said to me, "Fuck a duck, Daddy." I have no idea where he heard this. FML

Oh that's embarrassing, But on the bright side it'll be a pretty cool story to tell the kid when he/she's older :) Assuming you'll still know them then

Just yesterday I heard a two year old say the word "octagon" and I was very impressed. Anyway, what was the word? I also want to know!

Octagon was my 5 y/os favorite word and shape when he was two.

Kids these days. My five year old nephew taught me things about breasts I would never have known otherwise.

Or sarcasm.

I think... I'll stick with irony. Have seen the above commentator's posts on other FML's before, and the spelling ain't changing. :) Personally, I feel that if you want to mock OP for not knowing a word, you probably should know a couple yourself. But that is just my opinion.
