Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Great parenting
Today, my 4-year-old daughter slipped on ceramic tile and I had to take her to the ER for 5 stitches to her chin. When we got home, I promptly split her chin open again as I over enthusiastically re-enacted how she fell to my husband and accidentally clocked her square in the chin. FML

Duty
Today, I passed out. I fell to the hardwood floor, cut my chin, and bit through my lip. Fortunately, my brother was there to help stop the bleeding and get me some water. All I had to do was wait until he finished his game of Call of Duty. FML

Today, I walked outside, slipped, busted my head, and had to get 7 stitches. Turns out my son thought it would be funny to spray the sidewalk with water last night so it would freeze. He got a laugh, and I spent over $100 on the stitches. FML

Today, I was helping my boyfriend in the garden. When I wanted to break a piece of wood, I lost my balance. Head first against a stone. Result: five stitches in my upper lip, and a loose tooth. FML

Today, my youngest son thought that RedBull actually gave him wings. What it actually gave him was a trip to the ER and 7 stitches. It also gave me a meeting with social services. FML

Freak out
Today, after a very painful mouth surgery, I went home to take a nap. Then my nose started bleeding, so I stuck a tissue in it and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was so high from painkillers that when I saw the tissue, I thought it was a ghost. I screamed so loud I burst a stitch. FML

Today, I had to be go to the ER after I fell on a rake. After having stiches put in, my Mom wanted me to go to the store with her. My friend saw me at the store and thought it would be funny to rip off the band aid because she thought I was hiding a zit. She ripped out my stitches. FML

Today, I had to pick my 22-year-old son up from the hospital, after he got blind drunk, got his hand stuck in a Pringles can, and got the bright idea of staggering to the local ER to get it cut off. FML

Today, I ran up to my boyfriend to kiss him when he got home from work. I tripped and I fell on him, and he fell backwards. He ended up hitting his head on the sidewalk and had to get stitches. He also had a concussion. FML

Today, I received a serious concussion and several stitches to the back of my head. The attacker? My mom. FML

Jeez, people. Obviously, none of you have kids who have been injured and/or sensitivity to blood and wounds. People faint at the sight of blood sometimes, or they get upset and overwhelmed when their kid has been hurt. I say FYL, OP. But at least your son got through it.

Your son had more of a FML than you. :

Eh, I had two sets of stitches in my life. 27 in my cheek and four in the back of my knee. My dad almost passed out for one, my mom for the other. And she's a nurse, so she's seen much worse stuff. It's totally different when it's your own kid or someone you care about, and it doesn't matter how bad ass you think you are. If it's your child, you never know how you'll react in a situation like this until you're there. I mean, my mom was able to watch my dad's head get sewn back up, but it made her sick to watch them pull a cyst out of the back of my knee and get it stitched up. It all depends on the situation and the person. Not an FML, but no reason to feel bad or emasculated by it.

Haha, don't feel too bad. When my brother and I were little, he had to get stitches after running into an escalator- Mum fainted and I was the one holding his hand while he got stitches. =P

There's a great way to be a good role model, bub. You know that your family is never gonna let you live this down, right?

Don't worry about, it's not like your the only one who faints at the sight of blood. I might have to or at least came close to it.
