Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML

You happened
Today, my 11-year-old son and I were going through some old photos. He saw one of me when I was 22 on a beach, wearing a bikini. He said "Wow! Who's that?" Quite proudly I said it was me. He looked at me and said "What happened?" FML
Today, a woman came up to me and sheepishly asked if my son is single. He's not my son, he's my boyfriend. FML
Mother knows best
Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." FML
Hell no
Today, I met my boyfriend's mother for the first time. She greeted us holding a baby, and I told her how cute her son was. She told me that it was her grandson. Turns out my boyfriend is the father. We're 16. FML
Looking good
Today, I was in the bank with my seven year-old daughter, when I saw an old high school friend of mine with his wife. I said hello, and he commented on how beautiful my little girl was. I thanked him, and as I turned away, I heard his wife say, "I guess the father must be the good looking one." FML
I'm not that old!
Today, I was showing my hair-do from my high school prom from 10 years ago to a drunk neighbor. He turned to my mom and said, "Wow, she was a beautiful girl back in the day." Right in front of me. FML
Today, I had to go along with my mom to meet some of her old friends from high school. When they asked her about how her life was going, she said she was married, always traveling, no kids, and introduced me as the neighbor's kid she babysits. FML

Oh, that's embarrassing !! Lol But the fact that you said he's attractive probably smoothened it out somewhat :D So don't worry!

Wow, how young is he? I bet it was her son but she just wanted to impress you, cause everyone loves seeing a young man doing an old lady. It's just odd. And #11 it's never assume you make an ass out of you AND ME.

#33 I feel like the same can be said for about 98% of the posts/comments on this site... And OP, why on earth would you assume the guy was her son without any kind of evidence other than him being in her presence?

#11/37 Why shouldn't this person have assumed this was her son? They hadn't seen him in 10 years and the boyfriend looked to be the approximate age the neighbours son would have been. Given the fact that there is a son it made sense in this case to assume he was the son, especially if he appeared young enough. There may have been some family resemblance as well. She just had a divorce and maybe the son came to visit. Nobody's first thought would have been, "My neighbour just got a divorce, this could be her new boy toy and not the son we haven't seen in ten years."
