Today, my 7 year old daughter decided to use my laptop without my permission. She accidentally got SpaghettiOs on the screen, then used the hard side of a sponge, filled with soapy water, to scrub both the keyboard and screen of my laptop to clean it off so Mommy wouldn't know. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my 3 year old daughter decided to put black nail polish over the webcam lens on my laptop because "It wasn't all black, so I decided to fix it." FML
Today, I received my new laptop in the mail and put it on the kitchen counter, where my family charges all our electronics. My mom then decided to make soup and spilt chicken broth all over my new laptop before I even got the chance to turn it on. FML
Today, my friend spilt orange juice all over my iPad. She then went ahead to clean it off by rinsing it with water. FML
Today, I let my mother use my computer for school work. Later that day my mom asks me what's wrong with the computer. I look at it, only seeing a "Welcome to Windows XP" screen. She said that she saw a blue screen and pressed L and C when it asked her to. My mom managed to clear my hard drive. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and drink a tall glass of water whilst doing my assignment that is due in three days. I managed to spill the entire glass over my laptop. I flipped it over and used a hairdryer to dry it off. While doing that, I managed to melt my keyboard. FML
Today, I managed to accidentally drop an entire cake on my laptop's keyboard. There's so much frosting stuck under the keys, I have no idea how I'm going to clean it out. FML
Today, I was washing dishes while my 2-year-old was napping… or so I thought. When I finished and went to check on her, I found she'd taken off her diaper and smeared poop all over the carpet. She must have been up a while because it was everywhere. I spent the next hour scrubbing. FML
Today, my 10-year-old "helped" me by “fixing” the parental controls on the iPad. I didn’t ask for help. Now it won’t let me access email, news, or even Google, but it will let me watch 47 hours of baby cartoons. I've been locked out of my own device by someone who can’t eat spaghetti without ruining a shirt. FML
Today, after a night of back pain, fatigue, and wrestling with my crying, screaming son, who couldn’t sleep, I woke up to find my laptop wouldn’t power on because my daughter spilled ice cream on it. I need my laptop for my new job. FML
Today, I babysat my niece and thought a quick shower would be fine. I left her watching cartoons with a blanket and returned to find she’d used washable paints on the carpet and her hands, leaving tiny colorful footprints to the couch. Her proud smile made me forgive the mess, but I spent the evening scrubbing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess you shouldn't have left it in her reach, or her unattended with it, if she couldn't be trusted to be obey you. I hope you're teaching her a lesson about honesty and obedience here! That said, sorry about your laptop. :/

When my little sister was four, she purposefully poured a glass of water on my Sega Pico so I couldn't play it anymore. (Then, to seal the deal, she cut the cord with a pair of safety scissors). So if a 4-year-old is aware that water + electronics = disaster, I'm pretty sure the OP's 7-year-old daughter should have that figured out by now. Then again, the OP could be exaggerating a bit - perhaps the sponge was only a bit wet. It may be hard for a kid who's 7 to realize that just a bit of water can cause a laptop some serious damage.

I feel like such a loser, I don't even know what a Pico is =( I had a Sega Genesis as a child, that's as far as my Sega knowledge got.

I only ever got a tamagotchi as a "game console" when I was a kid, so you win either way

How did you know about the SpaghettiO's if she cleaned them off?

Snarky comment is snarky.

I was actually going to guess that maybe she didn't finish cleaning them off. I mean, it's not hard to spill thin pasta and sauce onto a keyboard. It gets under the keys, gets sticky and gross.

Use this expensive lesson wisely: next time, keep your valuables out of reach. Oh, and: give your child consequences, OP. When my boys were seven, I would have told them not to touch my computer, and they would have been old enough to listen. If they hadn't listened anyway, I would have punished them. Know your child. Act accordingly. Don't be like "Junior's" mother in Walmart the other week. Overheard: "Junior! Junior!! Junior come here! THREE....TWO....ONE!!!!! Junior? Come here Junior! Junior?" Consequences instead of talk is what matters. Junior is smart enough to understand that exactly nothing comes after ONE, so Junior continues doin' his thang until mommy finds him and forces him to continue shopping. If standing in the corner or early nap time, or no dessert came after ONE, I'd bet Junior AND your seven-year-old would be a little more inclined to obey.

Well then maybe you should explain to your daughter what she should & shouldn't do with your laptop.
