Today, my 5 month old son decided that my lip ring was a toy. Thinking it would be ok, I let him touch it. He got his finger caught and pulled his hand back. The lip ring is still in, but now I have a huge gaping hole in my face. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was adjusting my nose piercing from the inside. My mother saw and thought I was picking my nose, so she slapped my hand away, tearing my nose ring out in the process. FML
Today, I finally found the jewelry my two-year-old son had lost when it got lodged in my foot. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML
Today, I had a spur of the moment idea to go have my nose pierced. The piercer made sure to tell me how easily the little stud could get caught or hung up. I spent all day stressing over it only to scratch my nose and rip it out. Now I have a $40 bleeding hole in my nose. FML
Today, my nose ring became a fish hook. What did I catch? My dog's harness. She nearly ripped it out of my face. FML
Today, my 2 year-old had a large booger blocking his nose so I pulled it out. I was on the phone and absentmindedly rolling it around between my thumb and pointer finger. I put it in my mouth and crushed it between my teeth for a solid minute before I remembered what it was. FML
Today, while undergoing the cumbersome task of screwing the tiny silver ball onto my lip piercing, I clumsily dropped it onto the counter and watched it bounce into the trash can, where it nestled snugly into a used maxi pad. FML
Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML
Today, I swallowed the piercing that I had bought for my tongue yesterday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yowwwwch :( That sounds painful. But, think about it this way: You're a mother with a lip ring :] That makes you awesome enough that you could pull off anything, including facial wounds.

Have you shown your husband the new huge, gaping hole in your face? Methinks he might find a use for it...

I'm solely responsible for forcing my mother to forego the hoop earrings she loved for several years. Apparently I never managed to rip one out of her ear, but attempted to grab them enough that she didn't want to risk it. Agreed with the person that said lip piercings are trashy, but eh I'm a purist and find a lot of stuff trashy anyway.

Well, as someone who has two lip rings and four nieces and nephews who are all fascinated by them, I can say that a 5 month old really doesn't have the strength to pull the ring so hard as to create a "huge gaping hole." Unless the OP dropped her baby when he pulled back, it wouldn't gauge out that fast. I can sit here and pull my bottom lip out by a ring pretty far, and the holes don't budge.

Unless the huge gaping hole wasn't a guages hole but a rip that didn't go so far. Exaguration(sp?) is my second guess.

Kids around that age like to fling there arms around, so why don't you try ripping on one of your piercings and see how good it feels.

YDI for keeping a piercing in when you have a small child. My godson's mother learned very early on to take out her piercings and tie her hair back, or else her son would grab and pull. Most mothers (hell, most PEOPLE) know that babies like to grab what they see so that they can identify it. Common sense, OP. Use it.
