EMERGENCY
Today, my daughter called 911. Why? Because she couldn't get the images to show up on her phone. She's 12. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today I got a call from my daughter's school, because she claimed that she couldn't see out of her right eye. I panicked and went to pick her up. On the way to the emergency room, she turns to me and says, "I'm fine. I didn't want to take a test." FML

Today, I was doing my nightly check of my daughter's phone since a recent stint in the psych hospital, and saw that she had fallen into a peaceful sleep to watching videos on a website dedicated to watching people die. FML

Today, I told my 13 year-old daughter that she was grounded from using her phone. Later on, I get an important call regarding a job that I have been after. After I'd picked up the phone, my daughter starts screaming, "HELP! RAPE! HELP!" on the other phone. I don't think I'll be getting the job. FML

Today, I looked at my twelve-year-old daughter's test. One of the question was, "When is a good time to worry about your parents?" Her answer was, "When they take selfies, because selfies aren't made for old people." FML

Yeah at 12 the kid should totally know better! Fine the mom! Also this is why kids shouldn’t have phones!! I knew 911 was for emergencies only at 6! What’s her excuse?

What if the tree was really an android?

Then it would look like a human, and not a tree.

That’s quite a dumb thing to say, “this is why kids shouldn’t have phones.” This has NOTHING to do with that, this is just a stupid kid we’re talking about here.

But nevertheless, kids still shouldn’t have cell phones... Give the kid a physical book instead!

Someone taught their child how to misuse 911. I hope up got a hefty fine.

Given the importance of Snapchat and Instagram, she was probably experiencing a severe attack of FOMO!

I dunno which is more fml: tge fact that she called 911 before asking anyone else for help, the fact that she called 911 because she couldn't get her pics to show or the fact that she couldn't get her pics to show...
