Today, I looked at my twelve-year-old daughter's test. One of the question was, "When is a good time to worry about your parents?" Her answer was, "When they take selfies, because selfies aren't made for old people." FML

Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

Today, I was taking a selfie. My grandma saw me, then after smirking to herself, she went and told my parents that I was "doing that sexting thing". They believed her and grounded me, even after I showed that all my photos and sent messages were totally innocent. FML

Today, I've had so many family members die in the past 4 years, I now think of which pictures would look good at people's funerals when I look through photo albums. FML

Today, I saw my teacher using her phone in the middle of class, so to joke around with her, seeing as we're on pretty good terms, I said: "Using your phone in class? For shame." She looks me in the eyes and says, "Would it be ok if I told you I'm arranging my father's funeral?" FML

Why anyone (of any age) would want to take a selfie at a funeral is beyond me. Maybe I'm just getting old.

At least you didn't have to explain to Barack Obama why taking selfies at Nelson Mandela's funeral was inappropriate.

I've known quite a few people who have taken pictures/videos at viewings and funerals. Even pictures with the deceased. It's really not that uncommon. Posting online though? That's a different matter.

Today, my ex gave me a heartwarming speech about how much he wanted me back.

Today, I was surprised to see a lot of blood when I looked down the toilet while I was pooping, as I don't have my period right now.
