Today, at dinner, my grandmother informed us that my cousin's newborn baby has been having seizures. My verbal filter did not switch on in time and I replied, "It's not a seizure if you're shaking it." FML

This is possibly my favourite FML of all time.
I can really imagine your grandmothers face, probably summed up best by the emoticon ._.?
Looks like your out the will, blud.

You've told your grandmother that your cousin's newborn baby's seizures are not seizures, but rather the result of being shaken?
Hm. Small world.

Ydi for joking about shit like that or even thinking it's funny. Dead/sick/abused babies aren't funny.

You, OP, had a George Carlin moment. One of those special moments in life where hilarious honesty overrides your brain-to-mouth filter and creates epic conditions. Congratulations.

well the cousins baby is having seizures, which can be a pretty serious medical condition. The OP didn't think to stop themselves from making a joke (which can be 'pictured' as someone shaking the baby, or a sex joke.)

Its called SBS, or Shaken Baby Syndrome. Children become disabled because their mothers violently shake them and jostle them when they are infants causing whiplash and brain damage.
No, sadly I'm not being sarcastic

because when someone is having a seizure they shake, when someone is being shaken they are also shaking. OP is saying that the baby's not having seizures but someone is shaking them in instead and calling it a seizure.
Explaining the joke takes all of the fun(ny) out of it.

A SEIZURE IS WHEN YOU START SHAKING YOU STUPID BITCH! and the joke is that OP said it's not a seizure if you are shaking the baby.
