Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I opened my Father's Day present from my mother-in-law. It was a glamor shot of her. FML
Today, I came home a day after my birthday, and was greeted by my mother who told me, "Oh, I have birthday present for you." She explained that she and my father went on a hike, and handed me my present. I got a fucking stick for my birthday. FML
Today, my mother opened her birthday gift in front of my entire family. Two days ago, I ordered an essential oil diffuser and flesh light from Amazon. Guess which one she got? FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, my mom told me she can't wait for me to turn eighteen so she can turn my room into a place for her to display all her antique glass dolls. FML
Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML
Today, while at the office, a surprise Valentine's gift arrived for me, the first I've ever received. It was a box of heart-shaped cookies. From my mother. I'm 39. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me lingerie from Victoria's Secret. He then added that his mother picked it out. FML
Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Break it open and see if there's money inside. No, but you should keep it, it's a gift from your mom and it's special to her. Keep it in a box in your closet, but when she comes over, put it up on your dresser.

If it was a special gift it was probably an 'American Girl' doll. Actually, a few days ago I asked my 16 yr old daughter if she would want one for a keepsake. OP, if that's what the doll is be thankful; they are expensive and she was probably thinking you would love it.

I still have my American Girl doll! I love it. I have one of the historical ones (Kirsten, the Swedish one). :)

FYI~ if anybody doesn't know, the American Girl dolls are specially made for each girl. They are a mini look~alike of you; same hair color and style, eye color, skin color, etc.

Sounds hella creepy! Maybe it was a hm-hm "life-size" doll...

#46 They're actually not creepy at all...And this is coming from someone who finds all other kinds of dolls creepy. Google 'em.

59, normally I agree with you wholeheartedly, but in this case, my superstition of things floating around that look like me, especially inanimate ones, like voodoo dolls, takes precedence. That shit would creep me out major!

#67 Not all American Girl dolls look like the recipient. The original American Girl dolls were 7 (I think) different dolls that are made to look like fictional girls from different historical eras in America.

OK, that sounds interesting. Trust me, I'm cool with your take on it. But me, I just am not friendly with dolls.

Nerds~ I bet you keep her forever! You can give her to your daughter if/when you have one; I think they make great keepsakes. I don't know how to reply to a specific comment from the app....

#45 If I have a daughter, I definitely plan on it! I'm not usually a big doll person, but American Girl dolls are actually pretty cute keepsakes.
