Today, it was the first day of my job at a kindergarten. A boy fell over in the playground, so I ran over to see if he was OK. He got up and had a huge red mark on the side of his face. Shocked, I yelled "Oh my god, your face!" Turns out it's a very large port-wine birthmark and now he won't stop crying. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, one of the children at my daycare came up to me and bit me on the face. He laughed so hard at my scream, that he threw up in my lap. FML
Today, I started my first day working at a toddler day care center. At one point I decided to play "got your nose" with one of the kids. It turns out this kid has a physical birth abnormality on his face. I got his nose... his prosthetic nose. FML
Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. 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 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, at work, the most handsome guy walked in. Starstruck, I went to greet him and then take him to the owner's office, only to promptly walk really hard into the corner of the door frame, smacking my forehead. I have a massive bruise and my boss won't stop laughing. FML
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, at the small daycare I run, I turned around to put something away. I heard a splashing sound and then saw one of my kids vomiting. He puked several times, and managed to hit the only rug in the entire house. FML
Today, I was feeling sick and fainted while teaching my kindergarten class. I came to when one boy poured a cup of water on my face. Three kids were crying into my walkie talkie, telling the office I was dead, and the rest of the class had disappeared. FML
Today, I fell asleep at work and woke up with penis sharpied on my face. I'm a kindergarten teacher. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI because you dont react like that to a child, it will freak them the **** out. but also FYL because how would you know?

Try to explain it to him. Be nice. Kids are forgiving when you can own up to your mistakes. And for future reference, a better response would be: "That was quite a fall. Are you okay?" in a calm, caring voice.You being scared makes them scared.

It's already been said countless times, but keep calm around the kids. If they already hurt, scaring them wont help at all. An injured, panicky child is NOT what you want to have to deal with. It can get messy, to say the least. On the other hand, it was your first day, so I understand a bit of the jitters causing you to react in ways you otherwise wouldn't have. As for the kid, he'll be fine. Apologize, explain your mistake. I did the same thing once, with my little sisters friend. I fell down the stairs, knocking her with me. I hadn't really looked at her face up until the point where I was helping her up, and I asked her "Is your face okay?" She was all embarrassed telling me that it was a birthmark, but she forgave me, both for knocking her down the stairs, and for making a comment about her face. She now is getting some skin grafting procedures done to eliminate it. She's nine now, and by the time she's 10 her face should be totally normal.

maybe you should learn to spell kindergarden if you plan on continuing in this clearly mis-matched career choice.

Dude, it's just a mistake. No need for everyone to get up in arms about it. And it's not that common in New Zealand for new teachers to get to know the kids before they start. Also, who cares about their username? Do you guys have nothing better to complain about?

It's not even that common in the US. I don't know what people are thinking.

i don't know if you realize this, but pretty much everyone on FML is extremely negative. Don't you have anything positive to say? you always find something to criticize. Try MLIA.

no kidding. people need to lighten up and realize you would probably freak out in the same situation. so much criticism-- isn't this supposed to be a site dedicated to banding together with other people who have shitty days... just like us?
