Today, my dad came out of jail. He showed me his tattoo of a Bible on his chest with all his 13 kids' names on it. I'm the only one whose name is spelled wrong. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad found out I got a tattoo behind his back and is really really upset. When I got home from work my car wasn't in the driveway. When I asked my dad where it was, he replied "you'll get it back when your tattoo comes off." FML
Today, my 18-year-old son got his first tattoo. I would have loved it, if it wasn't a text on his hand with a glaring spelling mistake in it. FML
Today, I heard from my dad for the first time in over six months. It was through Facebook, in a message blaming my brothers and me for his horrible life, and in which he spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, my dad has dementia and has been getting my name wrong with increasing frequency. During one of his lucid moments, he ended up admitting those wrong names are actually of his other 7 kids, my half siblings to various women, 5 in this country and 2 in Europe, but I’m not to tell my mother. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML
Today, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, I found a necklace that my parents had made for me. While looking at it, I realized my parents had spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I came to terms with the fact that my dad will die without knowing I have tattoos on my body. I'm afraid my dad will suffer a deadly heart attack due to the revelation, as he had two heart failures in the past. My dad is still the sort of person who thinks that people with tattoos are criminals. FML
Today, I got piss drunk. Being a tattoo artist, I came to the intoxicated conclusion that I could save much more money doing my own tattoos on myself. I now have my ex-boyfriend's name permanently on my thigh. It's not even spelled right. FML

In jail AND can't even spell his kid's name right... Your dad sounds like quite the fella!

Is your name Vasectomy, because your dad evidently cannot spell that either?

Don't expect him to spell your name right if he is in jail and has 12 other kids haha what a winner!

Okay um shouldn't you appreciate the fact that he remembered your name?? And "dad in jail.." Plus "13 kids..." And the spelling bothers you more than your dad having been in jail?

This will come in handy later on, if he gets in more trouble and the police question you. "No, officer, that's not my name on his tattoo."

13 KIDS?! Whoa! He's definitely been "on the inside" before.

I hope he realises the irony in that tattooing is condemned in the bible by Leviticus.

In his defense, it might have been the tattoo artist who made the mistake, not him.

Oh im sorry you are offended that a tattoo artist in prison is not great at spelling..

But if the name is like Steve or Stephen then the dad should know the spelling.

Well it's better to have it spelled wrong than not having it on there at all
