Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML

Today, I was working on my art portfolio. I had drawn a self-portrait. When I was satisfied, I wanted to show my parents. They thought it was a drawing of a bear. FML

Today, I spent the whole night and day painting a portrait of my girlfriend. Being proud of it, I sent it to her hoping she would appreciate it. I spent hours working on that picture only for her to reply with, "That's not me, is it?" FML

Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML

Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. I presented her with an oil painting of her that I'd been working on for over a month, and she started to cry. I thought it was because she liked it, until she asked if she really looks that ugly and disproportionate in real life. FML

Today, I was putting the finishing touches on my portrait of a young boy in art class. I asked my teacher if she could help correct the bad parts of my portrait. She said, "Well that would take all day and I just don't have the time." She was serious. I thought this was my best work yet. FML

Today, I wrote a poem and was very proud of it. I showed it to my mom. After reading it, her response was, "What is this shit?" FML

Today, I found out that my mom paints, and that I was artistically represented in a painting, as Satan, in a painting made shortly after I told her that I was an atheist. FML

Today, I was at my girlfriend's house watching a home makeover show with her and her mom. The show's host had a giant portrait of himself on his wall and then I said, "I hate it when people do that, it's so stupid." Her mom stared at me and pointed to the portrait of my girlfriend on the wall. FML

Today, we were drawing self-portraits in school. I'm horrible at art, so I turned to the person next to me and stated that mine looked really ugly. He replied saying, "No, it looks exactly like you." FML

Today, my girlfriends and I got a caricature painting while on a trip in the city. Unfortunately for me, the part of my appearance that the artist decided to exaggerate was my acne. FML

It's okay OP. I'm sure you and your painting are beautiful. Your mom is just jealous that she isn't as talented.

That's when you say, "hey moms is I ever tell you people say we look really alike"

Pardon what? I understood what he was saying, and don't worry OP just say it's abstract art, she just doesn't have a powerful mind!

19-What 17 was trying to say was "That's when you say 'Hey mom, did I ever tell you people say we really look alike?'" It's okay, it took me a couple seconds too.

25 - You know, it just gets funnier when you try to explain it! sarcasm /ˈsärˌkazəm/ Noun. The use of irony to mock or convey contempt

@34 He was rewriting it, not explaining it. The originals grammar and spelling were a little off. Asshole.

34-I wasn't repeating the joke you ignorant fuckwad, I was correcting 17's grammar. If you're illiterate to the point of missing that, then you should probably spend less time bashing people on the Internet and more time with a dictionary.
