Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

You should have said "She's just having a lie down, in that box over there" really casually, then waited for it to dawn on her.

At my mom's funeral, the director suddenly started calling me Terrance. Not even close to my name...

That's really crappy for her not to know that kind of information. She's probably on here right now posting her own FML. Anyway, my condolences to you and your family. You'll get through this.
