Today, I got into an argument with a 7 year old. He said that Obama was the 44th President, I said he was the 42nd. Guess who was right. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 8 year-old niece and I were arguing over how many letters were in the alphabet. Guess who was right. FML
Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML
Today, I found myself arguing with a 6-year-old over a game of tag. FML
Today, my son is smarter than average, almost genius level, and he has now reached an age where not only does he question me at every turn, he actually out-argues me 90% of the time and I can’t do anything about it because technically he’s right and I’m wrong. FML
Today, I was mistaken for an 8th grader because of my height. I'm 32 years-old. FML
Today, I asked my teacher how old he was, and jokingly I said, "50?" Then he chuckled, so I laughed and said, "I was kidding… 42, 43, 44?" He then looked at me and said, "Are you trying to guess my age, or your grade percent in this class?" FML
Today, my dad spent 30 minutes incorrectly correcting me about our legal system. He thinks he knows more than me because he's been divorced twice. I'm a lawyer. FML
Today, my teacher marked a test question wrong, even though I was sure I got it right, so I went online to check. I found a government-approved website showing proof that my answer was correct. My teacher still counted it wrong, because, "We follow the book." That book's older than I am. FML
Today, my dad got mad at me for not believing him when he kept repeating that our dear leader was appointing Judge Judy to the government. I then found out he wasn't far off, so I don't know which is worse, that he was technically correct about some TV judge, or that the actual "judge" is even worse. FML
Today, while I was babysitting my nephews, the 7 year old boy walked up to me and asked if I was a lesbian. I laughed it off. An argument ensued about my sexuality for a good two hours. I lost. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Actually, neither of them was right. Obama is technically the 43d President... Grover Cleveland was the only U.S President to serve two NON-consecutive terms, and therefore he was counted as TWO presidents. So, if you choose to be technical (Like me), Obama is the 43d.

Don't get in arguments with seven year olds. He probably read it off a poster at school. The end.

You're son was right, that will teach you to argue with someone who still goes to school, and is educated every day of his life. Do some research next time, before you decide to argue with a 7 yr old. Does he help you do your bills too?

Really? Are people unable to read something with Obama's name in it without criticizing his Presidency? Make comments related to the story at hand, people! OP: You're an idiot.

@ #29 "Instead of quibbling about the number (44 is correct), you should have said that we are lucky to be living while we have one of our greatest presidents ever in office" What makes him one of the greatest presidents?

You ever watched the show "are you smarter than a 5th grader"? Those questions are ******* impossible. I know that the kid isn't in 5th grade, but my point is that grade-schooler's will be right 99% of the time about that kind of stuff, cuz they just learned about it like yesterday.

Frankly, those who are saying "Obama is black and I'm a racist" or "Obama hates America", STFU. Keep your racist ass away from the world because racism is why America sucks already and Obama doesn't hate America. Apologizing( probaly wrong spelling) for America's arrogance is a good thing. Did you even stop to think that's why 9/11 happened? Because America says it's better, it's the richest, it's the awesomest place ever. Maybe that's why 9/11 happened, who knows? And who cares about the number? Gosh. America is arrogant and ignorant, it it's kinda horrible in economics, and it's not even the richest country. BTW, I live in America. OP: Oh well.

47 agreed....@29 how do u come up with "obama is the greatest president ever"? Sure we should feel lucky to have witnessed a historical election in having the first black president, but that in no way makes him the best president

If it makes you feel better, you're both wrong, although I guess you're more wrong than your son is... While we're currently on the 44th Presidency, Obama is technically only the 43rd person to be elected to office.
