Today, I let my 3-year-old daughter watch Finding Nemo on my phone while I made her lunch. I returned to find she had dropped my phone into the fish bowl so that her goldfish could see his friends. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked outside to find my 3 year-old daughter and her pet fish playing together on the swings. FML
Today, my 3-year-old daughter put her grow-in-water salamander in my fish tank. The residue from the toy gummed up the filter and killed all the fish. FML
Today, I was woken up by my phone alarm blaring at full volume. I grabbed it to hit snooze, but in my half-asleep state, I accidentally threw it across the room. It hit the wall, bounced off, and landed in my fish tank. My fish is fine. My phone is not. FML
Today, I asked my husband to watch our daughter while I ran a few errands. While he treated himself to a long nap, she decided our fish needed a bubble bath, and squeezed out an entire bottle of dish soap. I came home to bubbles all over the floor, five dead fish, and one sleeping husband. FML
Today, my youngest decided my phone needed a bath in the toilet. FML
Today, my nephew asked if I wanted to see a magic trick. I humored him and let him give it a go. He covered my phone with a blanket, counted to three, and revealed that it had "disappeared." The little genius had dropped it into a fish tank while I wasn't looking. FML
Today, I saw my cat playing in the other room. Fascinated, I watched him for a few minutes before I realized he was playing with one of my daughter's fish. Well, what was left of it. FML
Today, my daughter decided it was a good day to put a bath bomb in the aquarium so the fish could have a relaxing bath with cool pink water. She didn’t know the fish would end up being killed. She’s 16. FML
Today, I won a goldfish at the amusement park. My little brother took him out of the bowl because he thought he was drowning. FML
Today, I heard a loud crashing noise. I ran into the kitchen to see what it was. My cat had knocked over my fish bowl and had my Beta in her mouth. After scolding her and rescuing it, I decided to clean its bowl. When I went to dump some of the water in the sink, my fish went down the drain. FML

Goldfish don't belong in a fishbowl >:( Anyways OP I'm sorry for your phone, I hope you will be able to get a new one soon :D

Put your phone in a bowl of uncooked rice and leave it over night. The rice will hopefully absorb the water.

I've heard that you do it for 3days in the rice. Glad my phone isn't a victim. My iPod earbuds got washed in the washer. Working perfectly fine afterwards when I placed them in the rice for 3 days :)

Because the rice will attract Asians, and they will fix it for you.

What did you think would happen when you left your phone alone with a 3 year old? You should invest in a DVD player, or perhaps Netflix. They've got this thing called a Roku that lets you stream movies on it. It should have Disney movies on it, but I'm not sure. I haven't checked. It wouldn't hurt to do some research though and see if it does have Disney movies. It beats ruining your phone and other handheld devices.

When I was 3 and wanted lunch, my mum put me in front of the tv and turned it on so I could watch that. She didn't give me her phone.

and this is why people should not allow their children to play with their expensive phones. YDI big time!
