Today, I brought some cupcakes to my class for my birthday, like all the cool kids do. When it came time to sing happy birthday, the entire class said "happy birthday to" then forgot my name. Except my teacher. She said Steve. My name's Jeff. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the shy girl in my class brought a cake to share with everyone, since it's her birthday. Excited about the cake, I got everybody to sing "Happy Birthday" for her, only to realize too late that nobody in the class knew her name, myself included. FML
Today, some of my classmates brought cupcakes to celebrate my birthday. I took the leftovers with me after class, and when my mom picked me up from school, she asked, "What are the cupcakes for?" FML
Today, after I'd ordered a birthday cake with my name written on it, I went to pick it up but the bakery messed up and wrote the name of the person who ordered one right before me. I stood at the party smiling while everyone congratulated “Kevin.” I am not called Kevin. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my family. While they were singing Happy Birthday to me, my mother called me by my brother's name. When I blew out the candles a moment later, I joked, "I wish my mother could remember which son I am." Before we had even started eating the cake, she called me by my father's name. FML
Today, my grandparents took me out for dinner for my birthday. After singing, "Happy birthday dear…" they froze. I had to say my own name because they'd forgotten it. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my friend who has the same birthday by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. The waiter brought out a cake for my friend but not for me. No one noticed my exclusion. I sang happy birthday on my birthday. FML
Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML
Today, I realized that the only time I've ever been noticed by my classmates is when I brought cake for the potluck. FML
Today, it's my birthday. At my workplace, we always get a cake for whoever's birthday it is. They somehow forgot about me. I've been working there for a year, and my grandparents and my dad own the restaurant I work at. FML
Today, while singing "Happy Birthday", my boyfriend's mom said his ex's name instead of mine. Almost everyone at the party got it on video. FML

1. How old are you? 2. Cool kids brought cupcakes to be cool? 3. Doesn't your teacher role call every morning "Jeff"?

was this in grade school? cause that's the only time cupcakes would be cool. in which case, surely the teacher would know since she sees you everyday for a year.

"Speak your mind, but please try to an respectful" On this occasion, I cannot I'm afraid. "OMG LIEK H0W 0LD R U U SED COOL KIDS!!!!!11!!1one! IT 0BV10USLY WASSNT A J0KE!" I am so, so, so sorry. I just couldn't stand by and do nothing. I am emphatically, deeply regretful.

Although many teenagers bring cupcakes on their birthday, they mainly just give them out to their friends in the hallway or at lunch, etc. It's only really in elementary school where the cupcakes are handed out in class, since you only have one class.. In which case.. I'm sorry:[

Waaaaait a minute. Has anyone noticed that this guy is from France, but his name is Jeff and the teacher thought his name was Steve? Because it does it by IP address, it's more likely that the person is from France than their name is Jeff, but still.. it's a mystery! I'm not saying it's fake. Don't worry.

cool kids bring cupcakes? the fact that you said "cool kids" days you're no older than middle school, and the fact you said cupcakes says younger. don't worry, things get better in second grade.
