Today, I was feeling abnormally self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on any makeup. The first thing my 7-year-old cousin said when she saw me was, "You look like my pet rat!" FML

Today, I was feeling unusually self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on makeup for the day. On my way to class, I passed some guys selling towels. One of them jeered, "Wanna be prettier? Buy a towel, and throw it over your face!" There goes my self-confidence. FML

Wrong move

Today, I told a coworker, “You look way better without makeup.” She responded, “I’m wearing makeup.” Everyone around us gasped like I had just said "fuck" in church. FML

Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML

Today, I playfully drew thick eyebrows on my one-year-old son to make him look like a cartoon villain. He laughed cutely in the mirror as I took some adorable pictures. When my husband saw, he threw such a horrendous fit about boys and makeup, I was reduced to tears. FML

Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML

That's when you bit her right and then went off to eat an entire wheel of cheese right?

Who lets their kid have a pet rat. Hello, bubonic plague...

The bubonic plage is transmitted to humans by rat fleas, not the rats themselves. Pet rats tend not to have fleas. Also, the bubonic plage is carried by the black rat only. Pet rats are always brown rats (referring to species here, not fur color). Before you start hating on other people's pet choices, get your facts straight.

She probably meant it as a compliment. I thought my pet gerbil was a disney princess lookalike when I was a kid, loved her!

I had the opposite problem. I normally don't wear make-up when babysitting my neighbors kids. One day I had some on when I went over there and the little girl goes "Why does your face look weird today?" Kids don't censor anything they say, don't take it too seriously.

How is that a bad thing? Have you ever seen a pet rat? That shit's cute as hell. No one in their right mind would say they're ugly. Definitely not a 7-year old girl who's talking about her own pet rat.
