Today, I found out my handwriting is so bad that people think I write in Arabic. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized I am one of those people who has trouble reading their own handwriting. It looks like someone trying to write in cursive when they don't even have the slightest idea what cursive writing even is. I do know what it is. I'm just very, very rusty. FML
Today, my ten-year-old sister had to write out my job application because no one can read my terrible handwriting. FML
Today, I had to re-grade a student's assignments because neither he, nor his parents can read "Spanish." I'd written in cursive. FML
Today, I had to make a poster for social studies. I decided to write "Nice ass" in hieroglyphics. Turns out my teacher can read hieroglyphics. FML
Today, I finished the rather expensive Arabic language course I have been taking for about 6 months. I still can't hold a conversation, but I can now say, "May Allah give you a headache and you are stuck in Beirut's traffic for two hours." FML
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I wrote in my own yearbook with different styles of handwriting so my mom would think I have friends. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I received a Saturday detention because the assignment I'd handed in had different handwriting. I've been practicing my handwriting skills for the past month. FML
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML

You really have bad handwriting. I can write Arabic, and most letters are connected, just like in cursive. If people think your print is Arabic, I feel bad for you. I have horrible handwriting, but people say it's because I have a very high intelligence.

Today, my son's teacher sent a copy of one of the essays he wrote for homework. She asked how much I allowed him to drink before picking up a pen*. FML *she actually teaches cursive handwriting!
