A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I'm 25 years old, I've got an education and I only now found out in front of 15 people that, no, sparrows are not small pigeons that are going to grow up. FML

Today, I found a tiny, featherless baby bird. I knew it was impossible, but I tried to keep it alive through the day. Before I could get it to the wildlife center, it died, and when I got all choked up over it, my mom started laughing at me and saying how "weak" I was. FML

Today, I learned that it's possible to get hit by a bird while bungee jumping. FML

Today, I found out the joke I’ve been telling for 15 years is true. I am adopted. FML

Today, around 12 a.m., my pet parrot said a sentence I've never heard him say before. Usually this would be exciting, but considering he said, 'I killed the bird', and that one of my two love birds mysteriously died a few days ago, it's safe to say I'm now terrified. FML

Today, my parents finally fulfilled my wish of a pet that I could take care of for a few years. They got a parrot. I guess 75 years or more is a few years to my parents. FML

Today, a bird crashed into my face. I didn't think that actually happened to people outside of cartoons. FML

This would be funnier if you lived in New Zealand. Do you?

You were probably thinking of a dodo. Easy mistake.

My guess is they’re confusing the kiwi with the dodo.

At least you learned it before you hit 40...

Don't feel bad. I was in my 40's when I learned that a roadrunner was a real bird and looks nothing like the cartoon. Fun fact: a real coyote runs much faster than a real roadrunner, so Wile E. Coyote wouldn't have needed Acme products to eat the Road Runner.

Way to spoil my best childhood memories. Next you'll tell me that Wile E couldn't hang there in mid-air over the canyon for several seconds before gravity took over.

Sorry, that's not physically possible. On the plus side, painting a tunnel on the side of a mountain that will let the Road Runner through while letting Wile E. slam into the mountain IS possible thanks to quantum mechanics.

I hate when I learn new information. That's literally the worst. I remember learning dinosaurs were extinct. Worst day of my life finding out I couldn't have a pet T-Rex.

I'm 61 & I just found out through a trivia chat game that kryptonite is a real element.
RichardPencil 32
Krypton is an element. Kryptonite is not. A few years ago, I heard about thorium. Sounded fake, but I looked it up on the Periodic Table and there it was!!

Didn't mean to report that. Phone-in-pocket fun.
