Today, my 6 year-old daughter saw a man in a wheelchair whose leg had been amputated. She walks up to him and says, "What happened?" He answers kindly that he's a war veteran. She then responds, "Well then you deserve to get your leg blown off. You shouldn't be killing people." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my five-year-old daughter is absolutely miserable and constantly putting herself down, as she has been for a week. What happened a week ago? She bumped into a stranger at Walmart, apologized, and the guy told her, “Nope, not good enough. You need to die.” Who says that to a child? FML
Today, I was sitting in the hospital waiting area. An old lady was crying, and my five year-old daughter asked her, "Are you okay?" The woman quietly nodded, prompting my daughter to scream at the top of her lungs, "Well shut up then!" FML
Today, I was giving a tour for parents who wanted to send their kids to our school. One of the parents had a kid on crutches with what appeared to be a broken leg, so I asked him how he broke it. He replied, "I was born like this." FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter walked into the bathroom where I was grumbling about my weight. Seeing how upset I was, she took my hand and said, "Mom, you're not fat. You just look fat." FML
Today, while making small talk with a veteran, I made the mistake of using the phrase "Cost an arm and a leg". He was a double amputee. FML
Today, I was visiting my sick grandmother in the hospital when my cousin and I were playing in some empty wheelchairs. After goofing off I said, "They're fun, but I would kill myself if I was in a wheelchair." A little boy rounded the corner and said, "Tell me about it." He was in a wheelchair. FML
Today, my daughter asked me to join the Army so that she wouldn't have to see me anymore. She's four. FML
Today, while shopping, an old man came up to me and told me I should be ashamed for walking around fake limping, and that it's horrible to mock people who actually limp from serious injuries. I wasn't faking, I was born without my right leg and I was getting used to my new prosthetic one. FML
Today, my anatomy teacher was putting together a skeleton model for class. He had misplaced the leg bone, so I thoughtfully asked, "What's the matter, lose a leg?" Unfortunately, there's nothing thoughtful about asking that question to a guy with an amputated leg. FML
Today, my great-grandfather had his arm blown off in the army and used the splintered bone to stab an enemy soldier, and got a goddamn medal for it, and yet I just watched my grown-ass son squealing like a bitch for over 10 minutes because he got a splinter in his toe. How far we’ve fallen. FML

Wow, I hope you told her that is not acceptable. I mean it's alright to disagree with something, but to say that to a veteran? The Vietnam veterans come to mind on this one. They had to deal with people like this. I'm just sickened on this one. I was hoping I would never have to read this again. I hope she doesn't turn into one of those crazy Kanses Baptists type of people. Where ever they're from.

Hey at least your kid knows that it's wrong to kill people. Just teach her a little more courtesy and she'll be fine.

You've raised your daughter well.

#9 - She's only right if everybody simultaneously decides to think the same way. What if America, Britain, and the USSR had decided to think like that in the 40s, but Germany hadn't? Pacifism is a bit like socialism, in that if one guy decides to screw everybody else he can do so very easily, except on an international scale.

Your daughter is on her way to becoming a fine citizen. Whether you agree with war or not, I hope you made her apologize and told her that it is never acceptable to say things like that to anyone.

this didnt happen and your kid should respect vetrens and either way the kid shouldn't know that us vetrens need to kill. have some responsibility and keep your kid a kid. a 6 year old should not know that the USA or any country needs to kill. you are a terrible mom.
