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
Collection
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

Sure, we believe you're "straight"..... mothers are very perceptive. They often know things before their children do. You might as well go hang out at the entrance to the base to see if you can find a date for the prom. Just lookin' at the bright side, my man.

Not a big deal, definitely not a FML, get over it. You don't have to wear the shirt. This isn't even very funny.

It's the thought that counts. I'd wear it anyway for the ironing, lol.

@ #5 Czech isn't hard to learn, it's actually easier than any other language I've learnt or tried to learn. And if it's your first language, I'm interested to know how you'd actually know how difficult it was. I'd suggest you wear the shirt on damn cold days when it'll be covered by a few jackets. Then your mother can believe you like it. Else you could just turn gay and be done with it.
