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

Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML

Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML

You're welcome!
Today, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… FML

Better to have her worried about global warming than spending thousands on 2012 propaganda. But what woman can forget the day she gave birth?! I have Images burned into my head and I wasn't the one popping out a child....

The correct term is climate change. There hasn't been warming in a few years, and they can't find anymore.

This is such an FYL, why are there much more YDIs? Just wondering

#35, Climate Change is called so because it better describes the more intense weather occurring globally in recent years. Also, it appears you are not looking at the larger trend of intense temperature and weather patterns over the last few decades and are simply picking less than a decade as your proof. Remember to read all the data and articles you come across about climate change rather than picking random bits of data which may be out of context just because you want to appear correct. Another danger is listening to climate change articles not written by a scientist that sounds good but doesn't have the data to support it.

Its cool, just forget to wish her happy mothers day, then blame it on the economy.

35: actually the world has been warming since the last ice age, so we call it climate change because we have been speeding it up

Your birthday comes once a year, but global warming lasts for a long time.

What if they develop dementia?
burtonbullet 10
Yeah 10? Mine was forgotten two years straight. Tell that to my parents.

#20, even if they had dementia, somebody else would have informed the parent. Or if OP knows she has dementia, OP wouldn't be so offended but rather depressed over the parent's deterioration. I'm slightly offended by your comment because my father died of Alzheimer's disease almost a month ago. I spent half my life knowing he was going to die (I was born when he was middle aged). I know you didn't mean that as offensive but please, don't joke about that.
