Today, my daughter asked for a dollar to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck while I was on my computer working. Out of my wallet she took a fifty dollar bill. The ice cream man got a big tip before driving off. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went over to get some ice cream. I found a rare parking spot in front of the store, and even had change in my pocket. After feeding the meter, A lady comes up to me and tells me that the meter was free after 8 o'clock. I paid 50 cents for it. I was 50 cents short for my ice cream. FML
Today, I gave my niece a $100 bill instead of a $10 so she could buy ice cream. When I realized my mistake, she never returned it but thanked me and gave me a big hug. Now I don't have money for gas or food all week. FML
Today, I was at work, when this guy came in and paid for his ice cream, then handed me a dollar. I've never gotten a tip before, so I looked at him and said, "Thank you so much, I appreciate it." He stared at me with a weird look for a moment, and then said, "Can I just get that in quarters?" FML
Today, I went to buy some frozen yogurt. I filled up a cup and the cashier rung it up. The total price was $6.92. I only had $5 in my wallet. So I gave her the $5 bill and went to my car to get more money. Little did I know, there was no money in my car. So I drove off. Leaving the $5 behind. FML
Today, I waved money at a passing ice cream truck and it kept going. So apparently I can't even get a date with a Sno Cone. FML
Today, I was at the mall, I saw a girl crying that her ice cream had fallen on the floor. Feeling generous, I bought her a new one. She threw it on the ground, laughed, and came over to her mom and told that I was bothering her, so the mom called security. FML
Today, I had to go down to the county police department to bail out my kids who thought it would be a good idea to try mugging an ice cream truck driver. FML
Today, I had to watch my neighbor's daughter for 10 hours. She wouldn't eat anything I had to offer, so I ordered a pizza for $19 + a $5 tip = $24. Her father came by to pick her up, thanked me, and gave me a $20 bill. I effectively just paid to watch his kid. FML
Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML
Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML

If she was young enough to think using a fifty is ok, sounds like she wasn't old enough to be going out to the truck alone, so.... yup this ones on you OP.

Hahaha you're to blame for not managing your own money! Hahaha but that is pretty funny, I wonder what she said after explaining the reaction of the Ice-Cream man.

This one's all on you - if your child isn't old enough to know the difference between a $50 bill and a $1 bill, she shouldn't be going in your wallet, and more importantly, shouldn't be allowed to wander to the ice cream truck by herself. If you can't keep an eye on your kid while you're "working", hire a babysitter. The small amount you would have spent on a sitter today would have been a small loss compared to the $50, plus you'd get peace of mind knowing someone is watching your child since you apparently can't do a satisfactory job of it yourself.

the child could have been old enough to differentiate between a one dollar and fifty dollar bill, and have been old enough to go out to the ice cream truck by herself. it's quite possible the ice cream man took advantage of the situation and drove off before she had time to even think about asking for change. don't be so quick to chastise the mother's parenting skills when you don't know the details of the situation...

If the child was old enough to tell the difference between a 1 and a 50, why didn't she take a 1? If $50 was the smallest bill in there then it's on her for being naive enough to hand an ice-cream man $50 and on the OP for not teaching her better.

You need to put more effort into trolling young padawan. It's almost like you're not even trying. If you want a reaction bring something better than that weak shit bro.

It probably wasn't even a real ice cream man. Way to parent, OP!

I don't think you should be letting your daughter go into your purse or backpack or wallet or any personal luggage at all. Have her bring it to you, and then you get what is needed out of it. Apart from stupid mistakes happening, you are training her not to respect your property.
