Today, for the second time, I had an argument with my mother about whether William Shakespeare was a real person or not. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother felt the need to remind me not to fall in love with a fictional character. After laughing and reassuring her that I knew the difference between fiction and reality, she replied, "You know, honey, sometimes I'm not so sure." FML
Today, my boyfriend is always telling me I haven’t met his real mother yet, even though I’ve known her a year. However, when I happened to disagree with her today, she started screaming and hitting like a psycho. He had to wrestle her out the door. I get it now; I’ve now met his “real” mother. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, I had an argument over whether or not I should buy some flowers. With myself. Out loud. FML
Today, after much reluctance due to fear of causing a huge debate, I finally posted something on Facebook about the presidential debates. However, the post sparked an argument with my mom's childhood best friend, that ended with her telling me that my dad isn't actually my dad. FML
Today, my mom and I got into a fight about a topic we agreed on. Seems like we're destined to never get along. FML
Today, I realized that I frequently argue with myself and respond back. FML
Today, yet again, I got into an argument with my dad. I have a PhD in the subject. But he's "entitled to his opinion", for, as he said, he's read a summary of the history of the country in a tourist guidebook, and the general view doesn't have to be based on more detailed information. He also corrects me when I speak the language, which he doesn't know. FML
Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML
Today, my mother started arguing with me once again about how my life revolves around my girlfriend and how it's unhealthy to spend so much time with her. We live together and are engaged to be married. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There are rumors, not conspiracy theory's,that he is not real and that it was a group of people that used the name as a cover.

It's one thing to believe he was a /different/ person than the one who actually wrote plays attributed to him. It's an entirely different thing to think that a person named William Shakespeare never existed, which he certainly did...

A few decades back there were some otherwise educated, intelligent people who went around claiming that William Shakespeare did not write the plays and poems that are attributed to him. They came up with all kind of "proof" by means of numerology and acrostics and what-have-you found in his works. The whole thing is about as credible as people who claim that "Paul is dead" and find "proof" by staring at the cover of the Sgt. Pepper album.

The Shakespeare authorship debate isn't nothing. Some claim that it's just a pseudonym that a company of actors used or that some of the plays are just attributed to a famous name to be more popular.

Some historians say it was a group of people that wrote his plays and that was their "pen name". Very little is known about him so your mom might be right.
