Today, I paid a social visit to my grandparents. While we were watching the news, a story came on about the Queen of England. I scoffed, "How is she not dead already? How old is she, anyway?" My grandmother replied, "About my age." Oops. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML
Today, being the nice grandchild that I am, I went to visit my grandmother. She didn't recognise who I was. I thought she was joking. She later called the police as, "Some weirdo had walked into her house." I'm that weirdo; she wasn't joking. FML
Today, I was talking with my Grandma, who lives on the opposite side of the state, and congratulated her on reaching 87. She said she was hoping to reach 90. My brain went in a very morbid direction as I quietly wondered if she'd live to 90. She didn't hear it but my dad, her son, did. Apologizing didn't help. FML
Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML
Today, I decided to surprise-visit my grandparents. After knocking on the door and not getting a response, I opened it and walked in. Upon entering their house and yelling, "Hello", as I turned the corner I saw my near-deaf grandmother folding clothes while watching TV. She was topless. FML
Today, my grandma and I went to visit one of her friends. The elderly gentleman told me I'd grown into a very beautiful young woman, to which my grandma replied, "Have you started in on the sherry early this evening, Henry?" FML
Today, I learned the news about Queen Elizabeth in the most awkward way possible. My friend suddenly came into my house and shouted, "THE QUEEN IS DEAD!" It scared me so badly that I spit my drink out all over his clothes. Then I took another drink and spit it out again when I realized who he was referring to. FML
Today, I went to visit my senile grandma, since she's ill and nobody else in the family visits her. I ended up having to sit through a long rant about the Illuminati, black people, and how we'd have a cure for the common cold already if it weren't for "those god damned foreigners". FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML

Don't be so f*cking disrespectful to the Queen. Nice one, too.

The Queen has just had her Diamond Jubilee and is still going strong!! Next time you should really think before you say something disrespectful...

You could have saved it with something like... "How old are you, Grandma?" "(she tells you)" "Wow, really! I would never have guessed! I thought she would be about ten years older than you."

You're a complete a**hole, OP.

Disrespect the Queen of my country. NOT COOL! Show some respect. She's been on the throne for 60 yrs.

For everyone getting angry at OP, they're from France, a nation without a monarchy. Meaning, they, like many americans, do not give a shit about queens and kings, because the titles are meaningless to us. Stop bitching at op for not caring, and realize that not everyone has to think in your, tiny, closeminded, ignorant way.

Actually 119 a lot of people here in the UK think the Monarchy in its present state is outdated. Incidently, the American tourists you meet over here are some of the most servile people to the concept of the monarchy you could ever meet and I have met a good few who willingly bow and scrape to the very idea of a titled individual. Also a nicely ironic final sentence in your comment ;)

Actually according to surveys the vast majority of Britons (over 80%) support the Monarchy and less than 13% want to see it removed. Of course there will always be people with differing views but it is fair to say that Britain likes the Queen.

So 8,190,000 do not support the monarchy? Quite a few people. Also supporting the monarchy and wishing for reformation of it does not necessarily have to be a separate thing. I also get the impression when Charlie gets his turn that figure of support will tumble.

119 - The Queen has more grace in her pinky than you do in your entire body. And she's gonna outlive you, just saying.

Queen Of England's old, and grandmothers are usually old. Why would you say such a thing in front of your grandma anyways? That's like you looking at her and saying the same thing.
