Today, my partner scolded my son and reminded him to, "use his big boy words" after he compared his finger painting to a nebula. I married a doofus. FML

Wait, so your son did a finger painting, compared it to a nebula, and your partner scolded him for not using "big boy words?" So...not only does your partner not know that nebula is a word, apparantly, he also somehow assumed that it was baby talk and scolded your son for it? What kind of mental midgit thinks "nebula...i don't know that word...must be a made-up baby word...bad kid!"

So start going for partners who have high IQ's, instead of focusing on them being physically attractive but empty in their brain, and then you wont wind up poor, with embarrassing and unfortunate situations like this, with dumb children on top of it. IQ is genetic, just like height or muscles are

Today, I brought my best friend home and told my dad we were going to study together. He loudly replied "Woah!", stumbled around for a few seconds like he was drunk, then apologized and said the "sheer amount of gayness" between us had overloaded his gaydar. We're not gay, dammit! FML

Today, it's been a year since my wife agreed to an open marriage. A friend said at the time that she would get a lot more sex than me, and would end up leaving me. I ignored him because he's a basement dwelling Trump supporter who's never had a girlfriend. Turns out he was completely right. FML

Today, I received a gift certificate from my grandmother for a local bookshop. Considering how broke I am, this would be a fantastic gift. If the bookshop in question wasn't a right-wing evangelical Christian Bookshop, and I wasn't Jewish. FML

Today, I was sitting in the bus station when an old woman looked over at me, then said to her friend, "Young women are so pretty these days." Her friend looked up at me and said, "That's because makeup is so cheap these days." FML
