There you are

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, at an aunt's wake, my five year-old son walked up to the coffin, and, with the whole family around him, exclaimed, "Well that's good, I was wondering where she's been." FML

Kinda a win. Your son sounds like he'll be a funny stand up comedian. Kinda like Gilbert Gottfried. But you know, your son will not be annoying as ****.

Hell, when I was little and my grandmother died I kept saying "I smell dead people." at the wake. This isn't that bad.

Haha true that, if the kid understood she was dead, it was a pretty good joke.

61, i'm glad im not the only one to see that! I see "beautiful" rather than "pretty" in her eyes. I totally agree with you thoughh(:

"Today, my five-year-old son said something naive. FML" Boo. *******. Hoo. Also, the fact that this is written in present tense bothers me.

We're all taught to write in present tense, though.

The real FML is that the OP has to explain to their kid why the aunt was missing, and why she's going away. It stinks to explain funerals to little kids (luckily, I haven't had to.)

"walked" "exclaimed" how is it present tense?

the verbs in the sentence were "walked" and "exclaimed", those are past tense. The son's sentence is present tense because it is a quote.

@psuboy - the FML was originally written as, "Today, at an Aunt's wake, my five year old son walks up to the coffin, and, with the whole family around him, exclaims "Well that's good, I was wondering where she's been." FML" It was fixed after I commented.

so if something happened earlier in the day it is present all day. today= over the course of a 24hr period. this means that ops son did something funny that day. understand?

You use present tense if you're telling it as if it's happening right then and there, not if it happened earlier in the day. Earlier in the day is still past tense. One second ago is past tense. For it to make sense in present tense, OP would have to be writing this FML as the kid was doing it.
