Today, I'm at the ER because my 13-year-old nephew ate an aromatic candle that smelled like chocolate. He saw it on my dresser and actually though it was chocolate. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 8-year-old nephew told me he liked the way I smelt. Apparently I smell like "cat food and cheese." FML
Today, whilst making a cake for my kids, I accidentally got some cocoa powder in my nose. Now it feels like my nose is burning stronger than the fires of hell. On the bright side, everything smells like chocolate. FML
Today, I made a batch of "special" brownies for a party I was going to tonight. I wrapped them up and put them on the counter with a note that said DO NOT EAT. Later on I came home from some errands to find a tray of half eaten brownies and my ten year-old sister passed out on the couch. FML
Today, I stole one of my cousin's chocolates. I didn't tell her, after I ate it, I read the box and realized that it was a chocolate laxative. I'm posting this from the bathroom. FML
Today, I walked in on my son holding a lighter to the end of a pen and sniffing the fumes. Apparently he thought it would get him high. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. FML
Today, I had to take my son to the ER after he badly messed up trying to light his farts on fire. FML
Today, my aunt asked me to babysit my cousin. She gave me a warning that he says he's allergic to foods to get out of eating them. When I brought out my homemade cooking, he told me he was allergic, so I made him eat it anyway. Turns out he WAS allergic. FML
Today, I had to call poison control because my idiot son swallowed a bunch of baking soda to "make a volcano in his tummy." FML
Today, my son thought it was a good idea to spray deodorant into his mouth because he wanted fresh breath. This resulted in him passing out. My son is 17. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He kept eating it even though he bit into it and it didn’t actually taste like chocolate? Most people would’ve spit it out. Unless...maybe he’s on to something?! We may have discovered the new Tide Pod.

At 13? He didn't see the wick?

aromatic candles go in candle warmers, they do not have a wick. the warmer melts the candle via electricity, which melts the wax.

Not medical advice, but I'm surprised that would warrant an ER visit. I would call your local poison control first since they should be able to immediately tell you if you need to be alarmed and what actions to take.

After the first taste couldn't he tell it wasn't chocolate?

Well, if it looks like chocolate and smells like chocolate it has to be chocolate, even though it doesn't taste anything near chocolate - logic!😅
