Today, my family and I watched Madagascar 2. When we got to the part where Gloria the hippopotamus is praised for her chunkyness, my little sister looked at me and said, "If you were a hippo, maybe then you would get a date." FML

Today, I saw a kid getting bullied; a girl was hitting him in the head. After having an inner struggle with what to do, I tried to stop them. Both kids then turned on me, and called me a "hippo". FML

Today, I went to the store with my 4-year-old daughter. While I was trying to change into tight jeans, which weren't completely on, my daughter opened the curtain and yelled, "It's the Mommy Show!" Everyone there heard her and saw me. FML

Today, I took my daughter on her first visit to the zoo. While we were watching the lemurs, some kid thought it would be funny to start shouting "MONKEY CUNTS" at them at the top of his voice. Now my daughter refuses to stop repeating the same phrase. FML

Today, while working as a swim instructor, I started singing the hokey pokey to get all the kids used to putting their faces in the water. One of the kids was covering his ears. When I asked him why, he said "because you were singing." He's 3. FML

165 and 168 - oh I feel sorry for you!!! My personal opinion is that this sort of thing should NOT go up before December. It's the same with Easter.. The sooner it goes up, the longer they can spin it out and the more money the retail giants can make. It's ridiculous! It's still November.

Thank you OP for clarifying in your username that you are a person and not in fact a hippopotamus.

My parents spanked me. It didn't scar me, and I wasn't afraid of them. It's because they wouldn't indiscriminately beat me. They'd give me 3 to 5 smacks on the cheeks depending on how bad I was.
