Today, I am in a very long line at the supermarket, gazing about in complete boredom when I spot a lady cradling what appears to be a cute newborn baby. Being enamored of all babies, I get off the line, go over and say "Oh, what a cute little baby!" The lady was holding a coconut. FML
Collection
Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Same thing different taste
Today, while in line at the supermarket, I told the lady behind me that she had a cute baby. She shot me a disgusted look and straight up accused me of being a pedophile. FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
External validation
Today, I was grocery shopping, feeling good about myself, until when I was waiting in line at the checkout, a small kid in his mother's arms in front turned to look straight at me and said, "Ewwwww." FML
Stolen valor
Today, at the grocery store, I saw a woman rubbing her belly lovingly and said, “Aw, congratulations!” She replied, “On what?” There was no baby. Just bread. FML
Today, as I was just finishing my grocery shopping, a little girl and her mother walked past. Seeing the little girl staring at me, I waved. The girl then pointed to me and asked her mother "Mommy, is that man pregnant?" FML
Today, while shopping, a lady came up to me and asked if she could borrow my baby because, "Y'know, I'm in a hurry and they'll let me checkout first." FML
Today, while waiting in the queue at a supermarket checkout, my three-year-old daughter yells out, "Mom! Mom! Is that a man or a lady in front?" Embarrassed, I reply, "Honey, can't you see that it's a... it's a... a..." FML
Today, I was taking my 3 month-old nephew for a walk in his stroller, when a lady stopped me to coo over him. Then she patted my stomach and said, "Don't worry, you'll lose the baby weight soon." I've never had a baby. FML
Today, the lady in front of me in the checkout line had a pacifier hanging around her neck, but I didn't think much of it until it was time for her to pay. She reacted to the $250 total by crying like a baby and very loudly asking me to put the pacifier in her mouth to calm her down. FML
Mall cop
Today, I saw a shady looking customer carrying a very suspicious looking baby stroller with a blanket on top of it. Thinking they were shoplifting, I stopped them before they walked out of the store and snatched it. The attachable car seat came off and there really was a baby in there. A real live crying baby. FML

How did you mistake a newborn child with a coconut? That's what I'd like to know. o_o

Was it at least a baby coconut?

She does not the bevy would probably be left in the coconut section of the super market as the op makes out with the coconut everyone stares at her thinking she's a weirdo

I guess if she was cradling the coconut I could understand the mistake. The problem is you said the baby was cute, which means either: 1) You called something cute that you couldn't see (YDI) or 2) You thought a coconut, after seeing it, was a baby, and still thought it was cute for a baby (YDI) Fail.

The OP did say she was "enamored of all babies", so she basically thinks all of them are adorable or whatever way you wanna put it. Besides, if it where me, I would've said it was a cute baby as well (no matter if it was cute or not). I mean, I won't go over there and say "what an ugly ass baby!" Anyway, this baby happened to be a coconut, so FYL OP.

"I mean, I won't go over there and say "what an ugly ass baby!"" Maybe not, but I'd refrain from a comment.

Crap, the cocunut trees are disguising themselves as people now! I always knew it would come down to this.

It should be obvious to define a coconut over a baby, really. Even if the baby's mother was black, the odd round shape should have made you think "Hmm!"
