They can't feel you
Today, I went to a funeral with my family. As we were walking on the grass to the burial site, my 5-year-old brother curiously asks, in a not-so-quiet voice, "Sissy, are we walking on dead people?" It was hard to answer his question with so many glaring people. FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Not now
Today, at my mother's funeral, as everyone was around her casket for the viewing, my 5-year-old son in cluelessness of what was going on shouted, "Grandma is more fun when she isn't sleeping." Everyone cried. FML

Come on, dude…
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML

Little shit
Today, I went to the graveyard with my little brother to visit my grandfather's grave. While we were there, my brother suddenly asked me, "Can you die now? I hate you." He's 7 years-old. FML

Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML
Unfun funeral

Shut up!
Today, I went to my uncle's funeral. His eulogy was ruined by an annoying little kid repeatedly talking over the pastor, who didn't pause for anything, no matter how many times his parents told him to stop. The complimentary lunch was horrible, and the hearse driving him to the cemetery got into an accident. FML

Today, I'm beginning to regret explaining death to my 3-year-old son. We were at the supermarket when he looked at an elderly woman and loudly told her "You're gonna die soon!" FML

You can't expect a four year old to know exactly what to say or do. My nephew has embarrassed me many times :/ Sorry about your loss OP

DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS TO A FUCKINF FUNERAL! Your baby is all of 4 years old and talking like that in a room of mourners? What the hell is wrong with you?!

First of all, a 4-year-old is not a baby. Secondly, children, no matter how young, have the right to the closure that a funeral can provide after the death of a loved one. Thirdly, sometimes children unwittingly say inappropriate things in public; that's just a part of having kids. You can't just refuse to take them anywhere where there's a chance they might say or do the wrong thing--otherwise how would they learn what to do and not do in public?

I can understand why this is considered a FML, but at the same time, that means your kid is curious about things and have no problem asking others about them. You can look at it as a process of learning more about life and the world. But either way, I am sorry for your loss.

Kids will be kids. It's something to look back at one day.

That's just like the episode of two and a half men where Grandma's ex lover dies and Jake asks that at the funeral, the difference being Jake is older than four
