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
Collection
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

47-5=38? i don't think so, somehow...
AAAAHHHH12 2
Did your brain melt, #56? From what I remember of simple math, 47-5=42. Unless the laws of simple subtraction changed, in which case 47-5=38. ...But I don't believe they have...

Ugh, I hate when people say stuff like this. It's not cute when you're a teenager then it's not cute when you're 47. "I just realized IHOP is an ACRONYM!!! Not a name!!!" Get over it, it's not an FML. It's not even something worth talking about.

I agree. it's just something you realize and say "oh, hah wow"..then just forget about it and go on with your day

Oh **** you, you can't judge an entire country's people. Believe me or not, we don't share a single mind.

Sure, some Americans are complete morons (the OP and everyone else who didn't get Kanga and Roo) but not all of us are. Don't perpetuate the stereotype and people will stop living up to it.
koko_the_koala 0
Ok, really? You did NOT just say that. You probably haven't even been to America, so how can you judge us? Sure, some of us can be a little dim, but that's true in EVERY culture. I live in America, and I happen to know way more smart Americans than dumb ones.

Think about this asshole, the VAST majority of the inventions that have changed the WORLD have come from America. How can you explain that if we are all so ******* stupid?
fxdxhk90 0
Your a jackass. People are so quick to insult Americans, yet whenever your country needs any type of help, you all come crawling back to America because we have all the money and military power. So to lun8423, please stfu.
emzmcgee 0
Yes, all Americans are dumb, we've heard it before, we'll here it again. Get something new and original to insult us with please.
wafflemonger 0
How would you like it if someone read your post and used it as a basis for saying all non-Americans are rude and judgmental? Sweeping generalizations make you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. Think before posting, please.
PTERONOPHOBIA 0
lol @ 75. so if we stop calling you dumb *****, you'll be smarter ? i don't quite see how that works. all the americans going into a rage here are soo precious.

First, it's American. It's a proper now. Second, your second sentence has unnecessary commas in it. It should read: "It seems that many are either dumb as wood or too busy with other things to even notice stuff like this". If you're going to insult us, please do so correctly. Besides, who cares if she didn't notice something as small as this? Yeah, she's probably busy with "other things" 'cause she has a ******* kid, dumbass, and doesn't have time to sit on her ass all day and watch TV. To Pteronophobia, if you're also going to assume that all Americans are dumb, I'm going to assume that you have hairy armpits because you're French. Please shut up and go shave.

me too!!!! i never got that!!

You're correcting people's grammar, 277 and you wrote 'proper now' instead of 'proper noun'?! Jesus on a bun! Don't give that douche any additional fodder for his prejudices.
