Today, I was feeling guilty about an argument I had with my mother right before she left to go shopping. When she got back, I ran to give her a hug and tell her I loved her. Unfortunately, in the process, I knocked over and broke her new $200 vase. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom bumped into a table with a glass vase on it. Seeing that the vase was about to fall, I lunged to catch it. Before I got there, the vase fell and shattered, resulting in me diving into the broken shards. FML
Today, I walked into the kitchen and accidentally broke my mother's vase. I said, "Accidents happen." She replied, "Yeah, like your birth." FML
Today, my mom said my name and startled me so badly, I jumped and dropped the glass I was holding. She still isn’t speaking to me for breaking her favorite glass. FML
Today, I accidentally broke one of my mom’s favorite glasses while she was away. My dad saw and offered to tell her instead that he broke it, because, "let’s face it, if she knew it was you, she’d shove the glass shards down your fucking throat." FML
Today, I threw a party at my girlfriend's house before her parents came home from vacation. After the party, I found all of her mom's favorite wine glasses broken. I spent $500 on new glasses, and wrote a huge apology for the party and the damage. She got home and told me that they were already broken. FML
Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML
Today, I complained to my mom about her always acting cold towards me, and that it feels like she doesn’t love me anymore. Her response was, “You’re damn right I don’t, not since you broke my favorite glass last year.” She used to tell me she’d always love me no matter what. FML
Today, my mom and dad were arguing. It started getting really heated, so I tried to go break it up. But within a couple of minutes, my mom wanted to make a statement by throwing a plate to the ground, forgetting I was beside her. I now have a throbbing foot with shards of glass in it. FML
Today, I accidentally broke a vase. When I was clearing it up, I used my bare hand to sweep up the shards without thinking. I'm still fishing pieces of broken glass out of my hand. FML
Today, I woke up and heard a noise coming from the kitchen. I went down stairs and saw a huge guy in there. I got a vase and hit him over the head, not realizing it was my mom's new boyfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, she's a mum,I'm sure she'd rather have your hug, than her vase. On second thought, she'd rather have both maybe...

Don't be so hard on yourself, OP! It sounds like your relationship is pretty healthy, considering you felt comfortable with hugging her. She will forgive you :)

Twice the hug should do. Besides, she can buy another vase, but not your love.

Anyone can buy my love for a pizza.

I just see it as $200 spent on fragile glass or painted clay...

#38 - While I see it that way as well, one must consider that the mysterious, complex, unsolvable entity that is a woman's mind will probably hold different value to such an object. Not to disrespect all the dudes out there that also appreciate the dual utility of human expression and holding displaced flowers.

Looks like you are going vase shopping or you don't really love your mother.

She's vase-ically screwed then.

Oh, you pronounce it that way. I'd have said she needed to go to see the Wizard a Vase.

Just keep on the roll you're on, go and get flowers for her new vase.

This is why you should never argue with your Mom.

Who needs a $200 vase anyways?

Hopefully she will see past it and doesn't think you did it deliberately. She is your mum, you will both make up either way eventually :)

Vase the facts OP, $ 200 can't shatter your relationship with your mother.
