Today, I stumbled across one of my son's English assignments. Apparently, he decided to submit a haiku about how electrical outlets are technically "whores" because they hook up with countless cords for a "charge." I don't know whether to be amused or furious. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Today, I was replacing some outlets for work and I got surprise-electrified. I threw my wire strippers in the air while yelling, "Oh fuck me." The homeowner and his 2 kids were standing 3 feet away. He was not happy. FML
Today, my son still sticks his fingers in plug sockets, cuts charging cables for devices, licks batteries and so on, because he enjoys the electric shocks, he thinks they are funny so I can’t even trust him when he sleeps at night, in case he wakes up while we’re asleep and does something stupid. FML
Today, I found out that my son thinks it's acceptable to use words like "on fleek" in high school level essays. FML
Today, my son admitted that he worked out how to make a fuse in my house's fusebox blow, by turning on all the appliances and lights in the house at once. He's done it three days in a row because when the lights go out, I 'scream and act like Donald Duck, but with swearing' and it's hilarious. FML
Today, a student's parent yelled at me because they had to pay for school equipment their son had stolen from my desk. Apparently, it's my fault because the item was just too tempting for him not to steal. FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Today, my son's school called to inform me that I had to come pick him up, as he was caught vandalising. What shenanigans had he gotten up to? Writing "Epstein didn't kill himself" on various desks and walls around the school. I'm not sure if I should applaud the sentiment, or be annoyed that he got caught. FML
Today, my son got expelled after using the photocopier to photocopy his penis. He then used the copies to replace every directional arrow posted throughout the school. FML
Today, I gave my son a bollocking for losing a very important paper that I needed for work. I've just found it in my right pocket. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Be amused, that kid knows what's up; don't trust outlets... I wouldn't date one

You know that can also be said the other way around. Clever kid.

Not bad. Pretty clever for a kid. Kind of disturbing that he knows so much about ****** though.

Even if his subject matter is. . . unique, at least he was able to make the assignment entertaining. The fact that he could apply what is likely a vastly dissimilar concept to the poem than he was taught shows that he understands the material.

Both. Say it's funny and clever, but not appropriate for school.

Why would you be furious? It seems like it's pretty harmless and he's obviously pretty smart

Cute, but teachers will get annoyed with students that continuously don't take the work seriously even it is "technically" correct". I've had classmates asked to leave because everything to them was funny,or tried to reference some internet joke and were clueless.

It's a haiku. Chill

I find that ridiculous. If you're learning and can obviously comprehend the information, why does it matter? Those teachers should be glad the information sunk in, regardless. Yes, some courses are of serious topics, but why do they have to BE serious? Learning should be fun!

I'm not saying you shouldn't have with it it. It largely depends on the professor and the assignment/class. As long as they aren't asked to find a science article and pick one about ebola patients being zombies they are probably fine.

Your son's a genius, I'll never be able to look at a plug socket in the same way ? lol
