Today, after my son's new friend spent the night, I commented on how his hair had such a straight line in it from one ear to the other. I joked about how he must have fallen asleep with headphones on, or had bad hat hair. He informed me it was a scar from brain surgery he had when he was younger. FML

You didn't know. Just apologize once and that's all you can do.

He probably wasn't offended. I bet he has to explain that all the time anyway

It wasn't like you said anything too offensive anyway. If he's hurt, they need another round of brain surgery

My boyfriend is a brain cancer survivor that has several visible scars and he tells me that it doesn't bother him in the least when people notice. Unless this kid is just a prick to begin with, it's not a big deal. You just pointed out something you noticed which is true, and he is probably used to it.

Or unless the problem wasn't corrected, or he wasn't given appropriate counseling before and after the surgery to deal with the trauma of having to talk to the surgeons while they are cutting up your brain

You don't deserve this, how were you supposed to know?? And I doubt it offended him bc guys don't care nearly as much about things as women do. Besides sex. And bacon.

It doesn't sound like you were being too offensive, and he probably gets it a lot. It's not like you were making lobotomy jokes or something.

aww, he probably gets stuff like that all the time bless him.

YDI your husband should be making the desicion on who should spend the night you have no right your a woman

Go kill yourself.

Come on, you have to admit that this comment is pretty funny. High-quality trolling, right here. It's hilarious, in my opinion.

#32 got trolled pretty hard.

thats why parents dont try to act cool

that's what i keep telling my parents. they say the dumbest things sometimes

NO you didn't D:

Not an FML. I have a scar just like it and i get comments all the time. The kid probably didnt care. poor attempt at relating though, haha
