Today, I picked up my 4-year-old daughter from day care. As we're driving home, a butterfly lands on the windshield. Just as my daughter comments on how pretty the butterfly is, I turned a corner and accidentally hit the windshield wipers and smeared the pretty butterfly across the windshield. FML

Today, while driving with my three year-old, I was showing her the different kinds of birds. I pointed out a bright red cardinal perched in a row of hedges. She squealed as it took flight, so happy to see such a brightly colored birdie fly. Until it hit my windshield. FML

Today, I was driving my 7-year-old daughter to school, when out of nowhere a bird smashed into the windshield. Instead of screaming or being traumatized by the gore like me, my daughter started laughing, eventually calling the bird a "stupid bastard". FML

Today, I spent an hour and a half washing my car. As I was driving down the highway, a large bird flew over my car and accidentally dropped the dead animal he was about to have for dinner. It landed on my windshield. FML

Act of god

Today, I purchased a new car. On the drive home, gusts of wind blew up debris and pebbles and caused little chips in the paint and small chips on the windshield. FML

Today, as I was driving, a bird swooped down, right in front of my car. I didn't have enough time to react, and so I had to listen to my wife cry the rest of the way home. She kept talking about how it bounced off the windshield and how it probably had a family. FML

Today, I was driving along when the car in front of me ran over an animal. I only realised this when a chunk of flesh and blood landed on my windscreen. I put my wipers on to get rid of it but instead it got stuck underneath the wipers and smeared all over the screen. FML

Today, while driving home, I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw that my three-year-old daughter had managed to get out of her seat and had crawled to the back window. I pulled over and strapped her in again. Five minutes later she was back at the window. FML

Today, I found a dead bird on my windshield. Thinking I was clever, I turned on my windshield wipers to get the bird off. Unfortunately, the dead bird fell through my open window and onto my lap. FML

Throw the bill at the kid. Do it.

Today, I was really excited that I'd made it the two weeks I'd borrowed my mother-in-law's new car without putting a scratch on it. I got off work to discover a customer's child throwing rocks in the parking lot. They cracked the windshield. FML

Today, my daughter was playing outside. I was watching her from the window, and I saw her pick up a dead bird. I ran outside to grab her. As I picked her up and started scolding her, she tried to scratch my face. In the attempt, her hand went straight into my mouth. FML

#5 and # 21 appear to be the only ones that think this isn't an fml. This is the epitome of FML and I think its great! Obviously, little kids love butterflies and at those young ages they don't understand the concept of an accident nor death really and so this can be contrived as a horrible act to a child. Really isn't that hard to figure out.

I agree with #66. It would've splattered on impact if the car was in motion. And who the heck accidentally hits their windshield wipers? I call bullshit.

... ._.; Ooooh.... beauty is a fragile thing... I hope she isn't too hurt by it. :( Poor butterfly... poor kid. Well, you can explain death to her... and that the last thing ever thought about the butterfly was how pretty it was, so it lived a good life. So she can make sure the last thing anyone thinks about her is something good? ...Still, fyl... and fHerlife, and fTheButterfly'slife. HOW IS THIS FUNNY?! To little kids, this is considered execution-worthy! Sad.

#68 - Looks like this happened while they were still in the driveway of the day care, so they haven't picked up enough speed to pulverize it on contact. And it said she hit the wiper instead of the turn signal. It happens, especially if you are distracted. I don't think young kids are bothered by death unless it is someone they are close too. The butterfly is just gone. I think they would be more bothered that the windshield isn't clean anymore.
