Today, my 15 year-old sister asked which animal rice comes from. She believed every word when my mum told her it's harvested from tiny cows in Asia. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my younger sister that meat comes from cute animals like chickens and cows, hoping she'd want to be vegan like me. Instead, she laughed and made up a song about how chickens turn into tenders and cows turn into cheeseburgers. I ended up being the one who got upset. FML
Today, my vegan sister told my kids where meat and dairy products come from, in a very detailed way. They now refuse to eat meat, and want to, "rescue all the poor animals." FML
Today, my mother asked me how pasta is harvested. She actually thought it grew out of the ground. FML
Today, my sister was concerned that her daughter (my niece) was sick, and hesitant to take her to the ER. I asked if she'd eaten something she shouldn't have, and she replied, "No, especially since we feed her the most healthy food we can." This was fine until I flipped out when she said, "We even give her raw milk so that she'll be strong." FML
Today, my mom told me that when my sister and I were born, the first thing my dad said was, "I hope they don't turn out vegetarian." I did. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school. Apparently, she was learning about the food pyramid and when she was asked to identify what she had eaten the day before, she said "dog food". FML
Today, I got home to my daughter in tears because her dad decided 5 was the ideal age to tell her the chicken, bacon, and mince she eats every day comes from dead chickens, piggies, and moo cows. I now have a vegetarian 5 year-old and I’m seriously worried about malnutrition and stunted growth. FML
Today, I found out that the so-called vegetarian soy sauce my mom has made for me several times has minced meat in it. FML
Today, I heard my ten-year-old brother say, "Are hamburgers a reptile?" FML
Today, I returned home from college and saw a framed picture of my parents and my younger sister on an elephant in an exotic jungle. I pointed to the picture and asked my mom, "Is this some photoshop job?" She responded, "No, we went to Thailand for a family trip, didn't we tell you?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She needs to read....there's a difference between being a naive person and an ignorant.

OPs sister is 15...you would think that if she did have Downs syndrome the family probably noticed before now.

So... Am I the only one thinking that'd be really cool? I kind of want to see a tiny rice cow

I don't know what I would enjoy more... Tiny pieces of cow-shaped rice or tiny cows that produce grains of rice.

The thought of cow-shaped rice makes me inexplicably happy, for some reason.

I wouldn't mention animal crackers, then.

If your mom told her it's made of tiny COWS, why is she asking you from which animal rice comes from?

You misunderstood the cause and effect here.

Play this out as long as possible. Keep her convinced until she's like 30. Eventually you'll hear an amazing story of how she found out that rice is actually a grain.

Parents are a child's first educators so why shouldn't she believe what her mother tells her? I guess her sister's ultimate lesson is that her mother is sarcastic so don't take her at her word.

Not a very responsible mother you have there......and an utterly thick sister.
