Today, I was responsible for taking care of Hoppers, the rabbit belonging to my son's third grade class. Tomorrow my son returns Hoppers so the next student can care for him. That won't be happening because Hoppers hopped out my fifth story window. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after I warned my son repeatedly that if he wanted a rabbit he had to clean and feed it, I checked on it. It wasn’t just dead, it was dead and rotting in a pool of its own pee and faeces. I yelled at him, but he just shrugged and told me rabbits are boring and he forgot it was even there. FML
Today, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, while mowing my backyard, I messily discovered that a family of rabbits has been living out there in the tall grass. FML
Today, my sister brought her class hamster home from school. Somehow it escaped from its cage, and ran into my room. My boyfriend, thinking it was a mouse, stomped on it. I'm stuck cleaning hamster guts from my carpet, and have to explain to a kindergarten class what happened to their pet. FML
Today, I finally decided to get my five-year-old son a rabbit, so I explained to him how to take care of it. When I'd finished listing all the things he'd have to do, he replied, "That's too complicated... Couldn't we just eat it instead?" FML
Today, I saw my four-year-old son running around outside, and copying everything our dog was doing. I thought it was cute, so I went to grab the camera. When I went back outside, I saw my dog eating a dead rabbit, and my son doing the same. FML
Today, I drove home on my birthday, and my mom said she'd meet me there. I was a little surprised to get home and find she wasn't there, but even more shocked to see my rabbit run over in my driveway. Turns out he'd gotten loose and my mom had run him over, panicked, and left. FML
Today, I came home to find a mouse in the garage. Frantic, I killed it. My 7-year-old son came home from soccer, and started crying because he couldn't find the class pet, Mr. Whiskers. I killed my son's class pet. FML
Today, I was on my back patio talking with my husband. It got dark outside, and I saw something shuffling in the back yard. I freaked out so bad that I went to run inside, only to fly face-first into the screen door. Turns out the shuffling was a baby rabbit. FML
Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Atleast you son didn't follow after Hoppers.

Guys, her kid is a third-grader. Not a retarded bunny rabbit or an especially bouncy neonate. Not having sufficient window protection to prevent rabbit-suicide does not mean that her 9 or 10-year-old child is in a lot of danger of falling out of it. Unless her kid really likes jumping towards vast, open windows. Then there may be problems.

@ 62: "Today, I was walking through my apartment building's parking lot, when all of a sudden I was hit in the head. I woke up 5 minutes later to see a dead bunny on the ground beside me. FML."

I think replacing someone's fish is the dictionary definition of no big deal. I mean, it a ******* fish. They're pretty much purely decorative. It would be like replacing a poster that got torn. They all look the same, you can't really train them to do anything, you can't develop a legitimate emotional attachment to one (and certainly not a reciprocal one), and they just drop dead for no reason. It wasn't the sitter's fault the fish died, in all likelihood. I mean, it could have been, but it could have died with or without her input. It was nice of her to replace him.

Wow, #16. Brilliant conclusion. No doubt, Hoppers was a super rabbit, nay, a BIONIC rabbit, capable of hopping from the ground up 2 1/2 / 3 feet up, and magically jump straight THROUGH a window, down 6 stories. One must, of course wonder, how such a wonder-Rabbit would not be capable of surviving such a fall. Or maybe you're just an absolute idiot.

That's disgusting. I hope you buy them a new one and explain what happened. Why didn't you pay more attention to him?
