Today, I found out that my mother is extremely emotional when it comes to animal deaths when a bird flew into the window and died, and she insisted we have a funeral. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found a tiny, featherless baby bird. I knew it was impossible, but I tried to keep it alive through the day. Before I could get it to the wildlife center, it died, and when I got all choked up over it, my mom started laughing at me and saying how "weak" I was. FML
Today, my mom called me an attention seeker and threw a bitch fit because my cat "decided" to die on her birthday. FML
Today, a robin flew into my window and died. My mom, being a biology teacher, thought it would be a great experience for my brother and me to dissect it on the kitchen table. She threatened to ground us if we didn't do it. FML
Today, my mother and grandmother informed me that my sixteen-year-old dog died. I was standing in Wal-Mart at the time. They then yelled at me because crying in public is "inappropriate." FML
Today, my mom grabbed my iPhone and threw it from the balcony, because I didn’t cry on the fifth anniversary of our family dog’s death. FML
Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML
Today, my pet bird died. He had caught some illness and had been extremely sick for the past few days. He didn't die from the illness though. My dog ate him. FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Today, I received an unexpected package from my mother. It contained my cat's ashes. Apparently he died 3 weeks ago and she thought this was the best way to tell me. FML
Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

DON'T STEP ON THAT ANT HILL! Seriously, you'll be having funerals for the next 30 years.

If it were my house the bird would be skinned out and cooked and the body stuffed for a study skin, or the wings and feet saved for art, the skull cleaned and the body feathers plucked and used in art. Not heartless, but I find making sure that animals death is not wasted far more ethical and honouring of it's life than throwing it in the ground to rot. I use every part of any dead animal I come across. Guts are the only thing I discard and I throw those into the woods for the magpies to eat

I'm the same! I can't handle when animals die, even when its a movie I still ball my eyes out

I once had a chick when I was younger. It used to follow me, run around and jump on the couch. One day after school I found it on the floor short of breath clinging to life until it finally gave up... I was so sad!

I hope she didn't watch The Masters golf tournament. Guys were shooting birdies all day, and a few eagles got shot. One guy even shot a albatross! A bloody albatross!

I have funerals for birds. My sister finds dead birds, we get a long shovel, scoop it, and bury it. It's actually quite fun.

Remind me to never call you to plan my funeral. I don't need extra fun...

You really shouldn't, 67. Dead animals are an important part of an ecosystem.
