Today, while my husband was at work, he missed our son saying his first word ("Dada"), taking his first steps and smashing the widescreen TV with a well-aimed teddy bear. Care to guess which of these three things made my husband cry. FML

Today, a colleague was talking about how she'd made some tomato sauce from scratch for her dad, but then he died before she could give it to him. I said she should have put it in the casket with him so the cremation would've been a real barbeque. My filter is broken. FML

I agree with #3. The bear probably knocked the tv over and it falling is what caused it to smash

Plot twist: all these events happened on the same day; It is in fact a Super Baby, which I think makes the TV-smashing fiasco make a lot more sense.

why are so many people finding it hard to believe that a teddy can't smash a tv I mean considering the technological advancement they are producing ultra slim led tv's that are way too light in weight and could easily break if dropped on the floor or something. .

A stuffed animal being thrown at your tv by an infant vs. dropping your tv on the floor are two very different things. I personally understand the disbelief.

I'm assuming it's on of those battery-operated teddy bears that speak/sing/etc, so the weight and hard shell of the battery pack probably caused the break.
