Today, I was volunteering at a neighborhood house tutoring a bunch of kids. Everything was going fine until one of them jumped on the table I was at, which broke and hit my knee. I swore in front of all the kids and my volunteer coordinator. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I volunteered to help out at an elementary school. I accidentally elbowed a little girl in the face while playing tag. And an hour later, a little boy flew out of his swing because I accidentally pushed him too hard. They're both siblings and are my child psychology instructor's kids. FML
Today, I performed a piano piece at a school play. Everything went well until I got up and accidentally smashed my shin against one of the piano legs. Before I could bite my tongue, I'd already yelled "Fucking hell!" in front of about 50 second graders. FML
Today, I was babysitting 3 toddlers. I wanted to entertain them by making them laugh, but nothing worked. Later on, I started down the stairs, but tripped and tumbled down. I realized I have broken my arm and bruised my knees. I also realized that kids think it's hilarious when you get injured. FML
Today, I was observing a children's class as a part of a training program. The teacher asked me to take one kid to the nurse's office because she wasn't feeling well. As soon as we step outside, I slip and fall down, taking the little girl with me. FML
Today, I was helping my church clean up a park. I was given a sledgehammer and told to break up a concrete picnic table so we could haul it off. About halfway through, I swung the sledgehammer REALLY hard, completely missed the table, and hit myself in the shin. FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML
Today, I accidentally slammed my leg against the coffee table. It was only after I went to the bathroom a few minutes later that I realized there's now a massive gash on my upper leg. I also got in trouble for yelling, "SON OF A BITCH!" as soon as the impact occurred. FML
Today, I was at the park with my friends. We were all having fun on the swings, when out of nowhere I heard a thud, followed by a child crying. Turns out I accidentally kicked him in the head. FML
Today, I was babysitting, playing hide and seek. I tried to jump behind the armchair, but it tipped, and I hit my head into the wind chimes, ripped the curtain rod from the wall, and smashed my knee into the wall. I lay on the ground in agonizing pain as the little girl shouted, "I know where you are!" FML
Today, the kids I babysit hid from me. While I was looking for them, I stepped on multiple strategically-placed Lego bricks. When I yelped from the pain, the kids jumped out and threw soccer balls in my face. FML

Now that you've expose those poor innocent children to such despicable language, they're destined for miserable lives filled with sadness, anger, pain, and the word "****". Your careless utterance will be solely responsible for them not achieving anything in life, simply because you couldn't keep your mouth kosher. How dare you. Jus kidding, they'll be fine, they've probably heard far worse anyway lol

I used to tutor kids like you, until a table hit me in the knee

Because of you, the kids will be scarred for life. Or rather, they will hear it and/or say it all the time and not give a shit. Chin up, OP.

Well they got a new grammar lesson.

It's likely the kids have said the same, or something similar. Maybe not with the same intention, hut heard it on tv or on the radio and repeated it.

These things happen. And if your coordinator is not capable of understanding that then its probably time to look elsewhere for volunteer opportunities. Added to that since these kids don't have the dicispline to not be jumping on tables like a bunch of heathens then I'm sure their parents probably use much more colorful language than you did. Don't sweat it.

the only way to learn from this is to never swear in your personal life, pick a nice word to use instead, my aunts use "marshmallow" yes i know its corny but its the only way to insure you won't swear at your job.

I worked at a YMCA summer camp in my early 20's, one of the kids decided I looked tasty and left bloody teeth marks in my arm, right in front of the whole camp. I'm sure I taught those kids a new swear word or three.

One time I was babysitting my nephew and I was playing video games while he was napping,only he wasn't, so I was raging and with my Irish accent the first thing that comes out is "ye feckin coont" now my nephew goes around saying yefkin coo, my family thinks it's sounds he's making up but I know the truth

If you weren't already in the habit of swearing, perhaps that never would have happened.
