Gold digger

Today, my 6 year-old granddaughter was sitting on my lap, playing with the rings on my fingers. After a moment, she pointed to a gold ring with many jewels and said, "When you die, can I have that one?" FML

Today, I found an unfamiliar ring in my purse. Thinking it was fake, I gave it to a little girl. Thanks to my mother, I later found out that the ring was my grandmother's and it was made of gold and had a real ruby. My mother added that my grandmother trusted me to keep it in our family. FML

Today, my 8-year-old daughter came home from school, saying she had gotten engaged and was wearing a ring. It looked real. Later that night, I got a call saying that their son had given my daughter his grandma's engagement ring. My daughter actually said no to the engagement, but still took the ring, FML

Today, my 6-year-old son was being charming by smiling and batting his eyelashes at me. When I asked him, "What?" he replied, "When you die, can I have your hair?" FML

Today, my almost-mother-in-law demanded I give my engagement ring back because it was originally her great-grandmother's, and she has now decided she wants it to go to her youngest son’s fiancée instead. My fiancé agreed and told me he’d just buy me another. He doesn’t get why I’m so upset either. FML

Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML

Today, I realized my wedding ring was missing. Turns out, my son had taken it to give to a girl he likes in the second grade. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend of five months gave away all the jewelry his late grandmother left him to his daughter from an old relationship. I asked in shock what he plans to give my daughter, and he replied, "Uh, you know she's not my kid, right?" FML

Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML

sometimes say things like that to my mom but i'm old enough that she knows i'm not entirely serious.. you should give it to her when you die and it'll mean the world to her and she'll remember how she wanted it since she was a little girl

I've never said that to my Nana but I always think it she has the coolest jewelry but obviously I'd much rather have her around (though I do hope she leaves me some of it when the time comes.. haha) but also, not just because I like it, but it would be nice to have her old stuff as a memory of her

I think it's amazing that a Grandma is posting on FML, but find it a little hard to believe. Especially with her username that some of you pointed out. Hmmm...

Ouch. That reminds me of the time my little brother asked my grandmother if I could have all of her jewelry and stuff when she died. She now accuses me of hating her. Pretty much everyday. Even though it was at least 4 years ago. Honestly? I've never even seen her wear jewelry...

Its not a huge deal. I always used to say that to my grandma but I used to say "Can i Have that when your not using it anymore." Nice way of saying its mine. She still makes fun of me....(=

Haha, don't sweat it. She would be devastated if you died. I used to say things like that all the time when I was her age because I didn't get that once a relative died, they were gone for good.
