Today, a clown came over for my son's 8th birthday party. There was a moment of silence then laughter as everyone realized the clown and I were wearing the same plaid shirt. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked into my house to find several of my friends there for a surprise sweet sixteen party my mom was throwing for me. Everything was going great until the doorbell rang and a clown walked in. My mom hired a clown for my sweet sixteen. My friends took pictures. FML
Today, I was working a kid's birthday party dressed as a clown. The child's mother made me change because he was scared of clowns. The only thing I had in my car was a princess costume that was owned by a girl co-worker. So for 4 hours I had to entertain in a tight pink dress. I'm a guy. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally got a job. As a clown. FML
Today, I took my kids to the circus. We were having fun, right up until the point they saw an old man dressed as a clown, at which point they screamed, grabbed onto my shorts, and managed to accidentally pull them down. FML
Today, my dad came to my 8-year-old daughter's birthday party wearing a shirt that said "Small penis, huge dick." FML
Today, I walked into our office and everyone started laughing. It turns out that I'd been the only one not in on the joke to come in dressed as a character from our favorite TV show. However, I'd dressed in normal work clothes. I’m the boss. FML
Today, I got stoned with the clowns at the birthday party I took my niece to. This is a new low point. FML
Today, I showed up to my friend’s birthday party with a huge cake... on what turned out to be the wrong day. The actual party is tomorrow. Her family laughed and thought if was cute, but I just wanted the floor to open up and let me disappear. FML
Today, my son couldn't find all the parts to his Cub Scout uniform. I had a serious talk with him about being prepared, and how he would need to live with the consequences of not having the right outfit on. When we arrived at the meeting, everyone was in costumes because it's Halloween. I forgot. FML
Today, I was helping supervise a 5 year-old's birthday party in an inflatable obstacle course. I was playing hide and seek with them. I saw the birthday boy and crept around the corner and yelled, "Found you!" He peed his pants. FML

Tell the kids you think the clown is very stylish.

Ah, well. Everyone probably enjoyed the laugh. You just made your son's party a little more fun for everyone involved, even if it was unintentionally.

Look at the upside, on the next birthday you won't have to pay for a clown.

HEY! It was a coincidence I like plaid and I consider myself to be pretty hip =[

when I first started reading this, I thought the clown was going to scare all the little kiddies into tears

15 - are you the OP?

The fact that you just said hip in that context proves otherwise. And 18, the OP very rarely comments on their own FML but when they do it's a different color. So, no. She is not.

I know, I was just questioning why she was commenting as if she were the OP :P

Reminds me of the 90s when grunge was cool and people wore flannel shirts even in 85 deg heat.
