Today, after a snowstorm my son decided that boarding off the roof onto my truck would be fun. My truck now has a puncture wound. The same truck that drove him to the hospital for his puncture wound and broken arm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I helped my dad push our broken-down truck from the driveway onto the tire ramp. Truck didn't make it; neither did my leg. FML
Today, I walked outside, slipped, busted my head, and had to get 7 stitches. Turns out my son thought it would be funny to spray the sidewalk with water last night so it would freeze. He got a laugh, and I spent over $100 on the stitches. FML
Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my eight-year-old son. He broke his arm after jumping out through the second story window. He was too impatient to walk to the ice cream van pulling up outside. FML
Today, my dad ran over my foot with his work truck. FML
Today, my 4 year-old son got a hole in his head from doing a twirl jump off bricks out the back. After being in hospital for 8 hours, my car battery was flat from me leaving the lights on. My husband went to get a new battery and lost his wallet. FML
Today, I drove my truck into the garage for a couple of minor repairs. It was returned on a flatbed with a blown engine. FML
Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML
Today, my father went out to get batteries for the remote control helicopter I bought him for Christmas. In his excitement, he backed his truck into my car. FML
Today, for some reason, my amazing dad told me to slide down towards a pole on a car tire while tobogganing down a hill and I hit the tire, consequently getting hurt in the head. I love my dad but something must've gone wrong that day. FML
Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Depending on the age of the son, I think it's time he starts clearing drives to earn money to pay for said truck

And I've just realised seconds after the edit timer expired that he's not going to be able to do that with a broken arm is he... Nonetheless he should pay for the damage if he's old enough

It would be better punishment to make him do work with the one good arm.

And then earn some money on top by entering him into an arm wrestling competition come Spring.

On the bright side, nothing worse happened than a damaged truck and a broken arm.

do you call this a small problem ?
Rainbow_Rhinos 23
It's a small problem compared to the possibility of OP's son accidentally killing himself.

#5 she didn't call it a small problem, not sure where you got that from but there are worse things one can get than a broken arm by falling
MDoremis 38
#5 Yes, it is a small problem compared to the other options of what could have happened: Hitting the angle wrong and becoming a paraplegic, quadriplegic, breaking his neck and dying, hitting his head and falling into a coma, hitting his head and having permanent brain damage that causes mental retardation, or gives him severe memory loss and he can't retain new information without being told umpteen times. And that's just the things I can think of off the top of my head.

"Off the top of my head" I see what you did there

The real question : How old is your son ?
annoyedperson 25
Were you more upset about the truck or your son breaking his arm

I mean, a broken arm heals eventually...
Rammer3500 23
People heal naturally, vehicles dont. Im care more about my instruments safety than mine.

I guess he just got board.

It sounds like you should be keeping a closer eye on your son.

Yes because he really expected his son to go flying into a ******* truck and break a limb during a snowstorm.

If he's old enough to make such a stupid decision, he's old enough to pay the consequences. He should earn money to have the truck fixed.

When my brother was young he did a super man dive off the roof. We had a huge hill behind the house and I guess he thought he could make a safe landing on it. Broken arm as well.

kids are dumb. sometimes you just have to let them live and learn. bummer about the truck though. just make sure he does chores or something to pay it back.
