Today, I got a picture message from my aunt that said, "9 out of 10 kids get their awesomeness from their aunt." Normally, I would have agreed, except she forgot my birthday yesterday. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, after burying my dad on my birthday, one of my aunts walked up to me and said, "Well at least you won't forget your birthday." I wanted to cuss her out so bad, like, bitch, how would I forget my birthday and the day I buried my dad? FML
Today, I called my aunt to wish her a happy birthday. My mom and I proceeded to sing "Happy Birthday" to her. The first words that came out of her mouth were, "You guys are terrible singers." You're welcome, I guess. FML
Today, I got no happy birthday wishes from anyone. I decided to call my sister to see if she'd remembered. My 6-year-old niece answered, so I told her it was my birthday. She said that it's tomorrow. After ten minutes of arguing with a 6-year-old, I checked the calendar. It's tomorrow. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML
Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Today, I got grounded because I didn't send my aunt a Mother's Day present. Not only is she not married she doesn't have kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She was too busy finding that picture to remember your birthday. On the bright side, she thinks you're awesome.

Oh she got it alright. She just isn't one of the 9 like she thought she was.

Unless they were really close, why should she remember it? I don't know anyone's birthday in my family.

35, I thought it was normal for aunts to remember/call on birthdays? I mean, great-aunts and distant relatives not so much, but I expect my aunts to remember (or at least let Facebook remind them).

Maybe not though...

Well, maybe that was her way of apologizing... If not, she's your aunt, you can always guilt her into getting you some awesome gift to show just how awesome she really is. *devilish grin*

I wonder who that missing one is. Perhaps it's a subtle dig at OP?
Ali_Br_fml 33
Lol, or since she's not an awesome aunt, op is the 1/10 who got their awesomeness from someone else.
Derpet 18
I'm guessin' that you were the 1/10. That's a very bright aunt you have there.
Pleonasm 36
Hey, she did say 9/10 right? Looks like she at least got that detail correct.

Pleo? When did you show up again?! I haven't seen you around these parts in a long time

You should send her a message back with "1/10 aunts die early"
perdix 31
The picture message WAS your birthday present! Now, go out and show off your awesomeness all around town! (Unless you are in the 1-in-10 poor schmucks who didn't get any from their aunt.)

Why does she have to keep up with your birthday? Your life is really ****** cause she forgot? It happens OP.

You got served son!

Harsh there much? She's just disappointed that her aunt forgot. Pretty sure once her aunt realizes or gets reminded she would make it up to her.

Also, 11, please stop groping yourself in your photos. Thank you for your cooperation. Good day.
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
wow everyone hate on 11. that's the thing to do.

Well, sometimes people forget OP. happy belated birthday. The way you worded made it seems like she is a great aunt except for this one occasion so just forgive her.
