Today, after a power outage at my house, my 14-year-old brother was genuinely confused as to why our flashlights still worked if we had no electricity. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, our power went out due to some severe storms. My daughter, who is 18, asked me why the lights on the car still worked. FML
Today, I was at my grandparents' house, when the power went out. Even though we were supplied with candles and flashlights, we still had to stumble around in the darkness. They'd left both the candles and flashlights in the pitch black, unnavigable basement. FML
Today, I made my brother go to the grocery store to get some frozen pizzas. Ten minutes after he left, the power cut out. Still no power. Still hungry. FML
Today, I learned that when the power goes out at my house, my family thinks you can no longer flush the toilet. FML
Today, the power in my village went out. This caused the back-up battery powered alarm to go off. Nobody in the house even knew our alarm worked, let alone how to make it stop. It's been going off for over an hour now. FML
Today, the power was out. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that he wouldn't be able to watch any TV until the power came back on. His response was, "But we have Netflix." FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, I was the last to go upstairs, so I had to turn off the lights. My tired brain decided to use my phone flashlight to check if all the lights were out. FML
Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML
Today, while I was putting up Christmas lights, my younger brother wouldn't stop pestering me. It seems he hadn't forgotten the time I gave myself an electric shock last year, and he wanted to see if I'd do it again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I... What? You would think the power outage confusion would be more likely due to something that DOESN'T have batteries, since cell phones, MP3 players, handheld gaming systems, and laptops are much more prominently used these days than their grandaddies which require the wall socket.

I think you've found your gift for him for what ever holiday of presents OP's family celebrates. Get him a science text book and maybe a few others of varying topics just incase. There is no reason for him not too know especially at that age it's sad.

Your brother is going places. Not college, but places.

As Einstein once said "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits."

I feel sorry for any girlfriend that one can find. But maybe she'll be shocked if her cell phone still works if a phone pole fell down two blocks away.
