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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Plexico are you an economist? Have you studied the economy at all? It's history and trends and reactions to past federal economic policy? Because I am and I have and I can tell you for a fact that Obama's current economic policy is far more "disastrous" than anything Bush ever implemented. I think in time you'll find that buying a big LED lit poster of Obama at a flea market and putting it on your bedroom wall does not qualify you as having "foresight". It makes you the political equivalent of a fanboy. Let me be clear; I have no problem with people who have informed themselves politically and who choose to support Obama's proposed policies. That is your right as an American and I wish you Godspeed. What I have a problem with is people ignoring his faults and very obvious mistakes and declaring the man the best president since Washington when he's been in office less than six months. That being said, if he somehow manages to actually improve the country in the ways he's promised to do in the next three-and-a-half years, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. You'll find that most people who are truly politically informed are never too proud to admit when their party has screwed up or the other party has done well. That is how you learn and grow as an individual. At this point, all any of us can do is wait, watch and take in as much information as we can.

#38 is an idiot. If you can't see what's wrong with America these days, then you're PART of what's wrong with it.

#76 First, I'm sorry for you for being an economist. You guys are fake scientists who try to take on the credibility of us real scientists, yet you constantly pull shit out of your ass all the time. You are no more scientific than astrologers. Economists like Alan Greenspan and Phil Gramm have gotten us in this toilet. Obama is clearly steering us on a Keynesian path to recovery (John Maynard Keynes is one of the few economists worthy of respect) where the government steps in to keep the economy moving during periods of industrial weakness and consumer insecurity. It worked during the Great Depression and it will work again. Hopefully, we will have the political will to fulfill the flip side of the Keynesian approach: when the private economy is humming along, the government will build up enough surplus to be able to smooth out the next downturn. Clinton was getting that done, but Bush blew it all with the giant tax break to the wealthy. I guess you haven't realized that Obama has done a great job repairing relations with our allies and has started talking peace with our enemies. America's status in the world is coming back quickly after the abysmal drop W. Bush caused with his stupidity and arrogance. Where can I get one of them LED posters of Obama?
