Kids, Scary and Cops: UXB alert!

UXB alert!

By Uncle Victim - 09/10/2023 22:00

Today, my three idiot nephews dug up a vintage bomb while "digging a hole to China." I told them not to touch it, and went in to call the police. As I did so, they took it to a pawn shop to sell as an antique. The pawn shop called the cops on them, and the cops are now on to me as they're crying, saying selling it was my idea. FML

Today, my nephews decided to play with and break the antique hourglass I bought for my mom. It took months to find and cost nearly $500. When I told my sister, she refused to repay me and responded with, "What do you expect, they’re just little boys!" Her "little boys" are 12 and 14. FML

Boozed up

Today, I let my nephew and his friend spend the night to watch movies. After I fell asleep, they stole my liquor and went roaming. When they saw the cop car in front of my house and realized they were busted, they went up to the cop and told them I gave them the alcohol to avoid being grounded. FML

Today, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML

Today, frustrated with my very energetic kids, I told them that if they dug a hole deep enough in the backyard, they'd find China. What they really found was the previous owner's dog. FML

Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML

Today, I was digging in my lawn, trying to ignore the suspicious glances coming from my nosy fuckball of a neighbor. When he asked what I was doing, I replied with dripping sarcasm, that I was digging up the schoolkids I killed last year. Fifteen minutes later, the cops he called arrived. FML

Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Today, after 3 days of hearing a car alarm going off almost continuously, the city finally came and towed it. Immediately after, the owner showed up with a switchblade, inquiring who called the city. My neighbors ratted me out, despite the fact I had nothing to do with it. FML

Today, whilst cleaning the living room, I heard snickering coming from my bedroom. My two nephews had found my "play cupboard" and were blowing up condoms like balloons. FML

You should have the call to the police in your call history to show your intentions.

Sounds like you are Uncle Donald and your Nephews are called Tick, Trick and Track (or whatever is the version in your country).

You’re lying. In the time it took you to walk into the house to make a phone call, your nephews (children?) managed to get this item to a pawn shop and get in trouble? Even if the pawn shop was literally next to your house this wouldn’t have happened

To be fair (and balanced) this FML was really rewritten (by me) because it seemed to be coming from someone with English as a second language, so I might have missed the nuances with regards to chronology. I'm not sure it all happened "today", it seems more like something that took place over a few days. I could be wrong though!

I'm hoping you did report it so then you have proof you didn't want to sell it and was doing the right thing. As for your nephews, they tried to drop you in trouble for their doing wrong, not good family. Tell them off massively then drop them to the kerb and ignore them for a while to get the message across. No presents. No texts. No calls. No nothing. They've treated you terribly and need to understand the consequences.
