Five years old is kind of young to be seriously explaining how babies are born etc. so you kind of deserve this, you should have told him a very simplified version of roughly where babies come from without using big words like c-section.

I believe that he misunderstood you, but people think it "adds to the story" to say their child's teacher called them. This is obviously bullshit and you people who post crap like this need to stop treating the site like we're retarded. No teacher of young children is going to call to verify every claim they hear unless it involves some kind of abuse or neglect. That is just stupid, and you are stupid for posting it.

I'm curious to know how you thought your 5-year-old would understand that, much less explain any of it to him at all. You should've weaseled your way around it and waited until he was older. He's not likely to grasp much of the concept at his age.

This is actually a cute story. It's not like he was telling people he was born and left to die at sea or anything. You can use this to embarrass him later, like all moms do. Definitely not an FML, and if this is all it takes for you to think your life is F'd, maybe having children was not a good call for you.

this is not an FML. you are a ******* moron.

WTF? How does being born at sea have any negative connotation and why would his teacher call you about it?

It's just a funny mistake. Don't bother.

lol, he wasn't born, he ascended from the sea. That is an awesome way of being born. It makes me think of poseidon.

It would have been worse if you told your kid that you were born after your daddy gave your mom some "magical yogurt". Either way, it sure beats the old story about how the stork dropped you off at your doorstep or down your chimney.

Well, this could be a lot worse. At least he didn't say: "I was squirted out of mommy's ******."
