Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML

Today, my six-year-old got in an argument with my four-year-old. I told them to go outside. The next thing I know, my son was standing in front of his sister's burning Barbie's Malibu Dream House, singing "Burn Baby Burn" and cackling madly. FML

Straight to jail
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML

Today, my 8 year-old niece and I were arguing over how many letters were in the alphabet. Guess who was right. FML

No more bring your kids to work days
Today, I took my 6 year-old to work. A normally docile child, she chased me around with her toy - beating me with it while all my colleagues watched - not stopping despite me requesting her to. When she finally lost said toy, she threw a huge tantrum. Guess who's banned from my office. FML

Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML

Today, my neighborhood had its annual summer barbecue, and I ended up showing a little boy who lives down the street how to hit a baseball. When I gave him back his bat so he could try for himself, he swung it into my shin and yelled, "Tag! You're it!" FML

Today, my daughter came up to me crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she had a fight with her imaginary boyfriend. She's 16. I raised this child. FML

I have that on a daily basis. It's one of the things that makes my job fun. Though, the children i work with are four year olds.

Competitive much?? It's just a game of tag and I bet OP runs faster than the lil guy anyway..

Hey Rules are Rules.

I'm curious as to what you were arguing over exactly? I mean, the rules are pretty clear. If he tagged you, you're it.

Tag always brings out the worst in anyone - and that applies to all ages.

Guys! You have to remember the rules! There are no tag backs until 5 seconds have passed! And you can call time out but you have to be on or touching a pre-designated base! You also should set the fair boundaries before hand! I mean if your playing with someone who can't climb it's not fair for you to climb a giant tree! So remember set the rules first and then it'll be fine!

There are never any tag-backs. I learned it the hard way, damn kids broke my spine.

Are you serious or joking?

OP- Shame on you for putting winning above the pleasure of the game. You taught that kid the wrong lesson!!

Who said it was about winning?

You should threaten to tell the child's mother.

You peeked. Cheater cheater pumpkin eater! Liar liar pants on fire! Wait... what am I making for dinner you ask? The sweet taste of you being it. Tag, you're it!

Peeked? He said tag, not hide and seek.

You shouldn't have argued the point -- the next time you are "it," slap the little bastard with a hard tag to even things out.
