Today, while watching The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh with my 5 year-old, I realized why the kangaroo's name is Kanga, and why her son's name is Roo. Kanga-Roo. Get it? Yeah. I didn't until today. I'm 47. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I was discussing animated movies with a male senior who's got kids. I was trying to refer to Zootopia but couldn't remember the name. I went, "Zoo, zoo... filia?" Silence. It wasn't until I got home an hour later that I realized what I said. FML
Today, while on a road trip through Australia with my dad, we were both complaining that we had yet to see any kangaroos. Suddenly, we saw one up real close. The rental car saw it even closer. FML
Today, in an incredibly busy shopping center bathroom with my 5 year-old niece, I was squatting over the toilet seat to avoid germs. My niece then says at the top of her voice, "Auntie, why are you sitting like a kangaroo?" I'd say the whole room pissed their pants laughing. FML
Today, my three year old nephew was pointing at the TV screen and saying "Uncle, Uncle!" He thought it was me on the screen. It was Rosie O'Donnell. FML
Today, my daughter had a vocabulary assignment. She had to find five new words in books and movies. She was watching Shrek, so her first word was "thong". FML
Today, a four-year-old said a word that I didn't know the meaning of. I had to look up the definition. FML
Today, I finally decided to get my five-year-old son a rabbit, so I explained to him how to take care of it. When I'd finished listing all the things he'd have to do, he replied, "That's too complicated... Couldn't we just eat it instead?" FML
Today, my 3-year-old son said to me, "Fuck a duck, Daddy." I have no idea where he heard this. FML
Today, I took my daughter on her first visit to the zoo. While we were watching the lemurs, some kid thought it would be funny to start shouting "MONKEY CUNTS" at them at the top of his voice. Now my daughter refuses to stop repeating the same phrase. FML
Today, my family and I watched Madagascar 2. When we got to the part where Gloria the hippopotamus is praised for her chunkyness, my little sister looked at me and said, "If you were a hippo, maybe then you would get a date." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Age is irrelevant. What is funny is the amount of time from when you started watching them to now.

I'm guessing you probably haven't figured out why the rabbit is named "Rabbit" yet either.....

Although I've read W-t-P in Russian, I could never figure out what "Trespassers W" meant, up till I turned 13 and thoroughly thought about it :) But Kanga and Roo were always clear to me ^^

Come to think of it, why is Bugs Bunny's name "Bugs?" He's not a bug.

Because when the Bugs Bunny cartoons were first created, there was a gangster named Bugsy Malone. "Bugs" Bunny was meant to indicate that he was somewhat lawless.

actually, every Warner Brothers cartoon documentary I've ever seen states that Bugs bunny was created by an animator named Ben "Bugs" Hardaway and when the character of a bunny was proposed many animators submitted their designs. The design labeled as " Bugs' bunny" was chosen and the name stuck. I've never heard any reference to Bugsy Malone.

Eeyore is the noise that a donkey makes. or Hee-haw perhaps. get it? someone said the vast majority of inventions that changed the world were American. It's things like that that make the rest of the world think you are stupid, dumbass. Any idea how many world-changing inventions came from the middle-east that you are bombing the shit out of? A lot of fundamental mathematics, enabling most of the amazing stuff that happens today to happen. many other things as well. americans might not all be dumb, but you certainly are #95
