Today, I had to rush my 14-year-old son to the hospital after he fell out of a tree while trying to take an obnoxious "extreme selfie". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to take my son to the ER after he badly messed up trying to light his farts on fire. FML
Today, my father was pruning the tree in our front yard. I was helping him collect the falling branches. At one point, a branch fell and I was under it. My father jumped to push me out of the way. Instead he pushed the branch into my face. FML
Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my eight-year-old son. He broke his arm after jumping out through the second story window. He was too impatient to walk to the ice cream van pulling up outside. FML
Today, my 12 year-old son came home with two broken arms after finding an awesome place to ride his bike. He found a sweet jump and his handlebars broke. He's currently in slings and waiting for an appointment with a surgeon, the breaks were so bad, the hospital couldn't reset them. FML
Today, I had to take my son to the emergency room for shooting himself in the ass with a BB gun. FML
Today, in a desperate bid to avoid going to the doctor, my young son ran into and hid inside a cactus garden. I had to drag him out. FML
Today, I spent six hours at the ER. Why? My husband dared our seventeen-year-old son to recreate a 'Jackass' trolley-hedge diving stunt at the local supermarket. What wasn't on my groceries list was a broken arm, fractured wrist, whiplash and cuts and bruises. FML
Today, I had to pick my 22-year-old son up from the hospital, after he got blind drunk, got his hand stuck in a Pringles can, and got the bright idea of staggering to the local ER to get it cut off. FML
Today, I had to explain to a hospital social worker that my young son is not abused, he is just rowdy and that he knocked himself unconscious and shattered 4 teeth in a bizarre stunt involving a tree, my ironing board, a mop bucket and lots of duct tape. I'm not sure the hospital believes me. FML
Today, I fell down a hill out of my hammock, which broke my phone screen and my sunglasses. My idiot brother launched me out of it, so he could "assert his dominance." He's 11. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well? Did he get the pic? Inquiring minds need to know.

I think that the only picture that he got was an x-ray.

Should have just left him...

I'll get thumbed down with you because I totally agree. I remember doing some stupid shit as a kid and hurting myself. My dad would look at me call me a moron and walk away. Taught me plenty of lessons without the need to bitch at me.

So, not saying this happened to the kid, but after falling out a tree from **** knows how high, you'd just leave the kid? It did say she had to take him to the hospital. He could've had broken limbs, a concussion, fractures, etc. If that's your philosophy on parenting, please don't reproduce.

the little idiot's mother should have swallowed this batch instead

So what you're saying is this child should have never of been born based off the fact he fell out of a tree taking an "extreme selfie".? Sorry this kid's actions offended you so bad that you'd rather him have gotten swallowed. You're just one of this assholes who clearly had a basic ass childhood and never did anything to enjoy yourself. Those types of comments are so unnecessary and callous that sometimes I wished the commenter of said expression was swallowed. but then I'd be on your level.

#91- Calm down, I'm pretty sure it was a joke. And even if it wasn't, who cares? Does it really affect you? Lol, let it go.

you could say he fell into failure

As punishment, make sure he can't take any selfies in the hospital.

the only thing "extreme" about this is the stupidity.

At least he is playing outside.... Would you rather he take a selfie of himself sitting on the sofa eating cake and watching tv
FucYoCouch 13
Yes. The latter prevents thousands of dollars of medical expenses.

Haha I weep for the future generations...

Did he jump out of the tree and try taking a pic at the same time?
