Today, I had just bought a new $60 basketball and decided to go try it out. Five minutes into playing, the ball decided to roll into the hands of a little girl, who then said, "Mine!" I thought it was cute, until she skipped over to her parent's car, and they drove off. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was picking my daughter up at day care. She was outside playing kick ball. A red ball rolls over to me, and trying to impress the kids, I kicked it over the slide. I turn around to see three crying six year olds. It was their hamster ball. FML
Today, I went to a hockey game. While warm-ups were happening, my favourite player pointed at me and tossed me a puck. It bounced off my hand into another girl's, who was a fan of the other team. She refused to give it back, then walked away and said, "I can't wait to sell this on eBay." FML
Today, I was playing basketball outside in my driveway. I saw three cute girls walking by, so I thought I would try to show off a little by doing a backwards slam dunk. I jumped, completely missed the rim and hit my head on the backboard. Then my mom ran out to help me up. FML
Today, a ball rolled up to me, so I picked it up and threw it over the school wall. A little boy who was behind me asked for his ball back. It's Sunday and the school is closed. FML
Today, I was jogging in my neighborhood when I saw a kid's ball roll over to where I was jogging. I stopped, grabbed the ball for the kid and went to hand it to him. He then yelled, "Stranger danger!" and his parents came sprinting out. I had to explain the story to the police for 30 minutes. FML
Today, I was in the park for a walk when a ball rolled to my feet. Figuring it belonged to the kids not far off, I wound back and kicked. The ball had actually been kicked by someone else for their dog to chase and I ended up punting it in the head. FML
Today, I was playing one on one soccer with a girl like. I accidentally kicked the ball right into her face. The ball rolled back towards me and as I was running to see if she was ok, I kicked the ball… right into her face again. FML
Today, while playing basketball, my friend thanked me for passing the ball to him. I was too embarrassed to tell him that that was me shooting. FML
Today, I was playing basketball in our company gym. I took a shot from half court, and at that exact moment, an executive walked into the gym with an important potential client. My shot bounced off the side of the backboard, off some bleachers, and right into the client's head. FML
Today, I tried to show off my basketball skills to a cute girl at the park. I went up for a dunk and ended up getting stuck in the net, hanging upside down while everyone laughed at me. FML

Selfish little girl. Why didn't you run and take the ball away from her as soon as she grabbed it?

I'm sorry op, but irrelevant worse for the parents. If that little girl can get your new ball away from you after one cute look , she must have her parents wrapped around her finger! I bet she even has a pony. Darn those cute kids!

God damn auto correct I meant * it's probably worse for the parents*

Parents who have kids and don't give a **** that they do that should really have them taken away. Those kind of people don't deserve to be parents.

It's never cute when they say " mine. " They always mean it. Always.

The toddler's law of ownership: If I like it, it's mine. If you have it and I want it, it's mine. If I ever had it, it's mine forever.

Regardless of how much the basketball was, I'd be mad that a little bratty girl stole my ball. And how the parents didn't notices and stop her is beyond me? They should have known it didn't belong to their child when she got in their car.

I can't help but wonder what the parents were doing?? They just sit there, in front of someone's home while their little girl runs out of the car and steals a ball? And then they drive off only after she's stolen it? It sounds to me like this was definitely premeditated, and not an impulse decision by a little girl. As for you OP, while I don't understand the concept of paying so much for a ball, I'm sorry that it got stolen from you. Especially since it was so soon after your purchase. You should've at least gotten some actual use out of it first! Sigh.. If I had been you, I would've probably tried to follow their car for as long as possible, and if they stopped within a reasonable distance for me, I would've definitely had a talk with both the parents and the girl. Brats today are getting worse and worse!

If you're not fast enough to run down a little girl skipping, basketball is probably not the sport for you. You don't need a ball. Your defense sucks and that's what you should focus on.

That reminds me of the basketball scene in " Along Came Polly". Thanks perdix!
