Today, I was at work at a preschool. I was sitting outside with the kids and was getting bored so I started singing. One of the little girls runs up and puts her hand over my mouth and tells me to stop. I'm in a select chorus at my highschool and plan to major in choral studies in college. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML
Today, our school had tryouts for chorus. Everybody sang a snippet of the song together until the teacher stopped us, saying it sounded awful. He singled me out and told me to sing alone. After I sang the part, he said, "Son, your gift to God will be silence." FML
Today, I was listening to music with headphones in my usually quiet class. At one point I really got into the song so I just quietly sang along because why not. Turns out by the end of the song I was singing at full volume, almost yelling, and my friend stopped me to say that. The entire back row was laughing. FML
Today, I auditioned for the musical at my school. Before I sang my song, I gave my music to the director. She said "Oh, I love this song!". After I sang it, she told me, "It's okay, I still like the song." FML
Today, I told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. FML
Today, whilst singing at school in front of 300 visiting primary school children I forgot the second verse to my song and let out an F*** word with the microphone still up to my face. FML
Today, I found out I have a bad singing voice. How? The choir judge decided to yell "STOP! Please just stop!" During my solo. In front of everyone. During the show. FML
Today, I sang at a retirement home with my school choir. Afterwards, we went to speak to the old people, just to get to know them a little. The first woman I shook hands with asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" FML
Today, I was practicing for a choir concert that I have next week. My mom walked into my room and listened to me for a little while. After I finished the last song, she smiled, patted me on the head and said, "It's okay honey, I can't sing either." 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

Don't take it too seriously. I know when I was younger, I got embarrassed when any of my family members would sing, regardless of whether they were good or not. I know you're not any of their parents, but it might be something similar.

agree w/#9, kids do shit like that all the time, maybe you should learn to not worry about it instead of trying to stroke your ego by posting this non-FML on a website

Wow, here's a great idea for you, let's base your talent as a singer on the opinion of a 5 year old, dwell on it, and then plot the entire course of your life on it. Or just except kids are ungrateful, selfish, and obnoxious and get over it. If you can't handle the harsh judgements of todlers, I think it's time you look for another line of work; I'd suggest a clinic so you can have excess to all the happy pills you can get your hands on.

I'm generally annoyed by anyone who sings in public because I have sensitive hearing and it usually hurts my ears. It could have nothing to do with your voice and everything to do with a child's ear infection.

Don't take it personally. The girl probably has problems processing sound. Google: "Auditory Processing Disorder" and "Out of Sync Child". Might lead you to identify the issues. I stopped singing when my baby boy wailed - learned later he had over-the-top hypersensitive hearing, which we had to deal with. It's HER, not YOU!

It could just be the type of voice you have...little kids tend to think any singing voice that doesn't sound like a pop star sucks.

I don't see how this is a FML. This is more of a little kid being annoying. :]

Don't take it personally. Kids be crazy... Then again, I have this friend at my school who keeps on singing her chorus songs randomly during the day...in the halls, at class, outside, at the movie theater... and it gets kinda annoying. I have sensitive ears and she sings so high... But that's just me, and I'll assume you don't do that, so no worries.
