Today, I walked into a restaurant with my parents to celebrate my Mom's birthday. They immediately got a kid's menu and crayons out for me. I'm 15. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went out to dinner with my family. I was given a kids menu when the hostess sat us down. I'm 24. FML
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, my parents were supposed to take me out to eat for my birthday, but since their favorite child wasn't with us, I instead got a mini order of tots from Sonic as my birthday meal/present. FML
Today, my mother bought me Mickey Mouse shaped burgers for my dinner. I'm 19. FML
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML
Today, I told my 15 year-old son that I was taking my wife to a fancy restaurant for her birthday, so he would be on his own tonight. Most teenagers would play video games, watch porn, and sneak a beer, which I would be okay with. He started crying and asked why he was "left out", then clung to my wife's leg. FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my mother, where the waiter complimented my "wife". I'm not 18, and she's over 40. FML
Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML
Today, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend and his mom. The hostess asked if I needed "the kid's menu," remarked how I look "so grown up for your age," and asked what grade I was in. I said I'm in university. She laughed as if it was the best joke ever told. I'm 22. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Coloring and chicken fingers are the best. Not an FYL ;)

that's 3 years older than the average age of the oldest you can be to get the kids menu. It's really not that bad. At all. NOT FML WORTHY!!!

Once, I was out with my mother and my son, and I was breastfeeding him. A few people came up and yelled at my mom as to how she could let a 'child my age' have a baby. I am 20. And married. My mother told them to go to hell.

It happens. I'm 22, but last year I was on my way to class and just got off the train. A cop comes up to me as I was exiting the station to stop me and was about to take me in for cutting school. And it's happened more than once too. But it's funny to see their expression when they're wrong. Just think you'll look young when you're in your mid-30's. It's a huge plus. ;] Also, how can you not love those menus? I love coloring in those pictures with numbers on them to distinguish between the different colors. I like seeing what picture is behind all that in the end.

that shit pissed me off so bad...especially when i would drive places and go sit down and they whip out the crayons. last bitch to do that got the crayons thrown at her, and i demanded a regular person menu, as i was legally an adult at the time. then i left after getting my drink. asking is a little depressing, but far less offensive than when they assume that a 5'9, 185 pound 18 year old would prefer to order 'psgetti 'n' fries and color a ******* meatball than have a selection of food given to adults. ( and no i don't feel bad about being a prick to dumb bitches like this because i work in the restaurant industry and get plenty of shit thrown back my way)

Coloring is the shit. I don't know what the FML is. Kids menu food is better anyway. They wont let me order off the kids menu anymore :/
