Today, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I gave him the gift, and he started playing with the bag it came in. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML
Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML
Today, I gave my nephew a toy car as a gift. He opened it, looked at it for two seconds, and then spent the next hour playing with the cardboard box it came in. Apparently, I could’ve saved $20 and just bought him a box. FML
Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML
Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML
Today, I gave my 7-year-old a snowglobe. I had spent the last week deconstructing it, putting an action figure of his favorite cartoon character inside, and then putting it back together. Later, I find it smashed into pieces because he wanted to "play with the toy it came with." FML
Today, my 3 year old kid wanted to do something nice. I told him he could pick up some of his toys. He washed my new Iphone instead. FML
Today, I came home after doing some Black Friday shopping for Christmas presents. I told my husband I got the must-have toy our daughter has been dying for. As soon as I said it, I heard squealing and turned around to see her standing right behind me. There goes the surprise. FML
Today, I bought my dog an expensive plushie toy because I thought it would last longer than the cheap ones. He ignored it completely and spent two hours playing with the cardboard box it came in. FML
Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He's a wittle kid, if you pretend a fry is amazing he'll think it's the best thing in the world. Toddlers are toddlers.

hahaha. When I was two my parents got me a car bed and all I cared about was the box. I ended up making a fort with it, complete with windows and everything. My parents would store the box behind the couch because I wouldn't let them throw it away for months, haha. Don't worry, this is not atypical. It's just what kids do. Note to everyone: he didn't specify that it was a plastic bag...

i'm with #23. i loved boxes. and my son is 6 months old and loves playing with bags. he just loves anything that crinkles or makes some kind of noise. if your son looked like he wanted the toy, i'm sure he'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it. just give him time, toddlers are going through a huge development phase and just want to explore everything :) that's how they grow

he probably shouldnt be watching so much tv...expecially if hes only two. and good for him to only play wiht the bag...when hes done wiht the bag he will move on to the toy, and when hes done wiht that he will move on to the next thing...hes two do you think he really realizes it?

I'm with 23 and 24 on this one. It's just what kids do. I tell ya, I was always into boxes and all that kind of stuff. I used to make forts out of them too.
