Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML
Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML
Today, I was talking to this really nice guy who likes me, and he tells me he's packing. I asked him where he was going, he said Puerto Rico. And I said "LUCKY!" He replied "it's for the funeral". I forgot his grandma had died. FML
Today, I told my students that I would be taking a few weeks off because a member of my family is very ill. They all cheered. FML
Today, I was bored out of my mind at work. I told my coworker he was lucky to be leaving early. I forgot the reason of his early departure was to go to his grandfather's funeral. FML
Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral. As he was on his way out, I wanted to say something. All I could think of was, "Have fun!" FML
Today, my professor's son died in a car accident and class has been cancelled until further notice. All my friends were delighted and cheered about it in front of me. I was dating my professor's son. FML
Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML
Today, the really hot guy that works in the same building as me came to work after being away for the past two days. I said, "Look who finally decided to come to work!" His response was, "I had a death in the family, thanks." FML
Today, while reading the newspaper, I noticed that an ad had been placed for my job. I asked my boss for a week off so that I could fly home for my father's funeral. No wonder she was so cool with it. FML

What are the odds of him having to go to Vegas because of his dad's death?

Don't know if that was a gambling reference or not

You're not to blame, who would know that it's because of a death in the family?

As someone who has done something close like this before, just apologize after class and offer your condolences. That smooths things over, did with me. She actually made a joke from it but then again this is from my experience and who knows how your teacher takes this. I'm sorry for his loss, losing a parent can be very heartbreaking especially if it's sudden.

Yeah my teacher had to leave to go to Seattle for a funeral, no one saw that twist coming because she likes to keep the negative stuff for the very end

I don't blame you for thinking "Vegas = YAY!". A lot of this is dependent upon how your teacher phrased it, and what tone he had. I would think if someone had to go somewhere for something serious, he/she'd phrase it like "I have to go to Vegas," not "I'm going to Vegas!" If he just said the second option, you were rude for interrupting him, but you also had little way of knowing anything. YDI regardless just because this wouldn't have been an issue if you just let him finish, but I understand that you might not have known.
