Today, my coworker convinced a little girl that teddy bears are actually the bodies of dead baby bears. I work at Build-a-Bear-Workshop, and we were working a 4-year-old's birthday party. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went out and made build-a-bears that looked like my daughter and her new boyfriend. It turns out she had been insisting that I didn't for a good reason; upon sight of his, her boyfriend screamed and fled the house. Turns out he was nearly mauled to death by a bear. FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter couldn't sleep, crying that her teddy bear wanted to eat her. My husband thought it would be funny to put the bear right in front of her face while she slept. She's now terrified to sleep anywhere but in our bed. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I think teddy bears are THE most pointless and careless gift. He shyly gave me my birthday present afterwards. It was a carebear. FML
Today, there was a meeting at work, during which I had to give a presentation to my boss and other attendants. The first subject I had to tackle was how my 5 year-old son got to my briefcase and replaced its contents with some crayons and a fluffy teddy bear. FML
Today, I bought my niece a huge stuffed teddy bear for her birthday because I wanted to be the cool aunt/uncle. She hugged it, smiled, and then immediately hugged the gift bag instead, because apparently it made a "funny" crinkly noise. I have officially been defeated by packaging. FML
Today, I was babysitting a little girl, and we were playing with dolls. After we fed her babies, we put them down for a nap. After a few minutes, I asked if they'd had enough sleep. She looked at me like I was a freak and said, "Uh, they're not real babies, you know…" FML
Today, my 5 year-old announced she’s “pregnant” and rubbed her tummy. I told her that it was impossible, since you have to be a grownup to get pregnant. She said that her oversized teddy bear made her “pregnant” and began humping him while sing-songing the word “pregnant.” No idea who taught her that. FML
Today, I was working as a character at an amusement park. I was walking with another character and we went over to a baby girl. She smiled and laughed at my co-worker. When she saw me, she started screaming and crying. FML
Today, I was pretending to be an angry bear while babysitting a 3 year-old boy, and an 19 month-old girl. I was chasing them around the house, having a great time. Just when I bent over to pick up his sister for a diaper change, the 3 year-old decided it was his turn. He bit me square on the ass. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a voice personalized Build-a-Bear. I thought he was going to propose to me through it, only to press the foot of the bear and hear, "We should break up" instead. FML

That's not right if someone told my four year old niece that I slug them kids are going to be dragged by the world sooner than we think since time seems to fly in child hood don't ruin one of the few things there are for them

I voted you down....perhaps if you explained yourself....I think you meant: That is not right. If someone told my four year old Niece that, I would slug them. Kids are going to be dragged down by the World sooner than they should. Time seems to fly by and Children grow up fast. Don't ruin the few this that there are for them to believe in. Now that I re wrote your comment to be more understandable I wanted to ask why you think that? Kids still have a lot to believe in. And it is not like what that guy said was true.

Now this little bear's head is to warm and this little bear's head is to cold, but this little bear's head is just right, so I'll stitch it all up.

You should tell your boss about this. I know what it's like to be scared of some innocent things. I was 5 and my brother showed me a teletubbies website which had an animation of the sun blowing up the world and the nono eating everyone. That scared me from teletubbies for quite a few years.

That's okay, when I worked at Build-A-Bear, I had to dress in one of the mascot outfits, and because I'm really short, it was too big for me and one of the paws came off in a child's hand...
