Kids: Today, I told my nephew to be careful when crossing the street...

Today, I told my nephew to be careful when crossing the street in front of a bus because it might eat him. We then watched as a bus slowed down and stopped in front of a group of people. When the bus moved away, all the people were gone. My nephew is terrified, and won't stop crying. FML

Today, I had to take bus to work, because yesterday my car was hit by a bus. While standing there, I noticed the driver kept looking back at me every now and then. As I went to get off, he looks at me again and says: "Sorry..." FML

Today, I had to catch a shuttle bus. I awoke to the sound of a car horn. I ran out in my boxers and saw a bus take off down the road. I chased it, thinking I had missed my bus. I realized I hadn't only when I saw frightened kids in the back of the bus. FML

Make it stop

Today, I was on the bus. I have a phobia of babies crying, and recently, whenever I've been on a long journey, there's been one and I've had an anxiety attack. There were no babies on this bus, just an old lady showing her friend videos of her screaming grandchild. FML

Today, I was almost hit by a bus, missing me by a few centimetres, and only because I jumped back the moment I heard its horn. I was using the zebra crossing, and the lights were green for me. FML

Today, after taking my little niece out onto the balcony of her family's new apartment to enjoy the view, we watched as a man jaywalked across the street down below and was run over by a car. My niece is pretty much traumatized for life now. FML

Today, while dropping my son off at the bus stop before school, I went to give him a kiss on the cheek. Then, before I was able to make contact, he jumped away, yelled "PSYCH!!!!" as loud as he could, and jumped on the bus. The kids all laughed at me and the other parents looked embarrassed for me.

Today, I was walking on my crutches towards the bus through the rain. The bus driver looked into my eyes, punching the button to close the doors while I was still a few meters away. As he drove off, he kept his eyes on me, while I had to wait for another 15 minutes for the next bus in the rain. FML

Today, I was running to the bus stop to catch the bus. The bus driver smiled, waved, and drove away without letting me get on. FML

Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML

Today, I was on the bus, it hit a bump on the road and made me hit a elderly man. The bus driver thought I did it on purpose and made me get off. FML

YDI... There is no need to fool children into doing the things you want them to do. Tell them the truth and have them face reality. They will thank you for it in the future.

You can't help how his mind hears what you said. It'll make for a funny story when he's older.

Glad someone has some common sense in the comment section. They all keep saying "bad parenting" but if the kid is young enough to believe he will be eaten by a bus, then he's not young enough to understand that he will be seriously hurt if he goes in front of a moving bus

I still have a totally illogical phobia around pool filter boxes & the drains on the bottom now, in my 30s, & the only thing we can put it down to is Mum's friend telling me to stay away because crocodiles lived in them, when I was about 3 or 4. Shit like this scars...

More like an FML for the kid's parents if they send him to school using a school bus. You're not the one who'll be waking him up and having to convince the kid the bus won't eat him..

"They got on the bus from the side so they can ride it. You can't walk in front of the bus because that's where it's mouth is. They were safe because they weren't in front of it." There you go. Or you know you can just tell him that he can't walk in front of any moving vehicles because they can hit him and he can get hurt. He should probably know to be careful crossing the street and around vehicles period. And children aren't stupid, they're just young and inexperienced in life, just teach them properly and they'll learn. No need to terrify them with weird lies.
