Today, I taught my kid how to mow the lawn. It's a self-propelling mower so it's easy to handle. My kid thought it would be smart to tie the handle down so that he wouldn't have to push it at all. This resulted in the lawn mower blasting through our fence and sinking into my neighbor's pool. FML

Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weedwacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgetting that I am mowing where the dogs go to the restroom, I absent-mindedly weedwack over dog poop. Which got flung into my face. FML

Today, I thought it would be funny to mow a dick into my grandmother's lawn, but the mower leaked gasoline and now there's a giant dead grass outline. FML

Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML

Today, I saw my neighbor's son mowing their lawn when suddenly he started to do this crazy dance. Chuckling at his antics, I waved and walked back into my house. His mom called me from a hospital later to ask if I could put the mower away; he had been attacked by bees. FML

Today, one of the kids in my neighborhood told me he would mow my lawn for 10 bucks. After a few minutes, I heard the mower stop. He had mowed a penis into my front yard then run away. FML

Today, I agreed to lend my daughter's inflatable pool to my neighbor for the day. Barely an hour later, I witnessed his son jump off their balcony, missing the pool by inches. He's now in hospital, and my neighbor has sworn to sue me, saying I'm responsible because the pool is mine. FML

Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire 2 acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML

Today, my 6-year-old son pooped in the back yard and used a stick to throw it over the fence into my neighbor's yard. FML

Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. FML

Guess you really didn't teach him after all, then?

1. How did he think the mower was going to turm corners? 2. Must be one hell of a drive motor on that mower to go through a fence, or did you fence need replacing anyway?

First time letting kid now grass, and you left the kid alone ? You could have had something worse happen. My neighbor's kid cut the tips of his fingers off. He reached under the mower to remove a stick, the blades were still moving.

Ok two questions did u turn that mower into a hot rod? And how crappy was your fence? These two objects collide a lot and I have never had a mower plow through any fence!

HAhahaha well that can be a good thing or a bad thing. Good thing is your kid is one of those who likes to innovate. Bad thing your kid could be just lazy and stupid.

I think the push one with the little blades would work better for him..,but i don't think he'll do that again...

No offense to anyone, but I think this is probably the funniest thing on FML, currently.

This is pretty funny is has your kid been watching dennis the menace? Really though, you are lucky that stunt didn't hurt him or anyone else. I'd have a a serious talk with your kid.
