Today, my mom bought me a t-shirt from the store. It has the U.S. Marines logo on it and says "Marine's Girlfriend." I'm a straight 16 year-old boy and my mom only reads and speaks Spanish. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my non-English-speaking grandma bought me a new t-shirt. It would've been sweet if it didn't have the word "bondage" written on the back in pretty, bold letters. I had no choice but to wear it while we went shopping. FML
Today, I needed a change of clothes, so I called my mom. She brought me a grey shirt with a toucan on the front and 'Mexico City' spelled in glitter. I asked her why she would bring me such an ugly shirt, and she started crying. Turns out she'd bought it for me as a present from her trip. FML
Today, after years of frustration, I got a t-shirt printed that says, "I am a girl". FML
Today, I wore a Stanford college T-shirt to school. My Spanish teacher took one look at it and said "You wish". FML
Today, I introduced my mother to my new girlfriend. My mom made a very nasty comment about her in Spanish, not realizing that my girlfriend teaches Spanish at the local school. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted me to get a shirt saying "I'm a girl," just so people won't think he's gay. FML
Today, I bought an "I love my boyfriend" t-shirt so people wouldn't think I'm single. I'm very single. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. FML
Today, I asked my mom to buy me new shorts. She bought fluffy bubble shorts. I'm a 20 year-old guy. FML

Some people have no use for learning English. If everyone you know speaks Spanish, and you're in a Spanish speaking community.. who cares? I'm Canadian and my boyfriend's mom doesn't know a lick of English, or French. She gets well just fine without it.

#3 English isn't "so" hard. You could try learn my language - Czech.

that language may be hard to learn, but grammar and spelling is harder than any other language, it's all relative

Ja souhlasim. Czech is a lot harder than English, and I would have to say that English is one o the easiest languages out there, I mean every language is hard when you get to grammar and such.

Meh, asian languages (e.g. Mandarin, Korean, Japanese) seem like they'd be harder.

English is a piece of cake! My native language (il bellisimo italiano) is easy as well, I invite you to try it amores! ?

English is the third hardest language to learn. I think that Arabic is the first and Chinese is the second. Czech might be second though, I'm not sure.

I don't get what's so bad about it. I mean, if your mom actually KNEW English, then it'd be bad. But she doesn't. So it's not.
