Today, I got into an argument with a 7 year old. He said that Obama was the 44th President, I said he was the 42nd. Guess who was right. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 8 year-old niece and I were arguing over how many letters were in the alphabet. Guess who was right. FML
Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML
Today, I found myself arguing with a 6-year-old over a game of tag. FML
Today, my son is smarter than average, almost genius level, and he has now reached an age where not only does he question me at every turn, he actually out-argues me 90% of the time and I can’t do anything about it because technically he’s right and I’m wrong. FML
Today, I was mistaken for an 8th grader because of my height. I'm 32 years-old. FML
Today, I asked my teacher how old he was, and jokingly I said, "50?" Then he chuckled, so I laughed and said, "I was kidding… 42, 43, 44?" He then looked at me and said, "Are you trying to guess my age, or your grade percent in this class?" FML
Today, my dad spent 30 minutes incorrectly correcting me about our legal system. He thinks he knows more than me because he's been divorced twice. I'm a lawyer. FML
Today, my teacher marked a test question wrong, even though I was sure I got it right, so I went online to check. I found a government-approved website showing proof that my answer was correct. My teacher still counted it wrong, because, "We follow the book." That book's older than I am. FML
Today, my dad got mad at me for not believing him when he kept repeating that our dear leader was appointing Judge Judy to the government. I then found out he wasn't far off, so I don't know which is worse, that he was technically correct about some TV judge, or that the actual "judge" is even worse. FML
Today, while I was babysitting my nephews, the 7 year old boy walked up to me and asked if I was a lesbian. I laughed it off. An argument ensued about my sexuality for a good two hours. I lost. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Actually, neither of them was right. Obama is technically the 43d President... Grover Cleveland was the only U.S President to serve two NON-consecutive terms, and therefore he was counted as TWO presidents. So, if you choose to be technical (Like me), Obama is the 43d.

Don't get in arguments with seven year olds. He probably read it off a poster at school. The end.

@ op that sucks but I remeber pulling stuff like that whenever I'd come home from school b/c in the real world why does it matter if? ohter people Obama = 6 months in office; other presidents collectivley= 2792 months in office Every other presidents first 6 months of spending COMBINED < Obama spending. C'mon the guys an idiot, who throws money at problems @ 58 a trillion dollar war is worth my freedom and saftey... more than half atrillion given to companys who should've failed or got back up on there own (thus making it worse for the consumer, anyone hear of a free market) not worth it at ALL@ 29 thats hilarious good joke

@nikki1001 the uneducated leftist argument that Obama has a right to run the country into the ground because Bush did the same will not work on me because I am not a Bush supporter. Just because the last guy peed in our cheerios doesn't mean the new guy has a right to crap on our toast.

I didn't say Obama can do it cause Bush did. I said Obama didn't start some trend of doing it, it's been done, so you can't sit here telling me how awful Obama is for doing it when he's not the first one. Nothing's going to change overnight. He has 4 years. And he didn't run the country into the ground, it was already there when he was elected. Freedom and safety from the war?!! Are you kidding?! Holy shit, I have no words.

@#64 / nikki1001 "I didn't say Obama can do it cause Bush did.

Everything that you just said is "Obama can be bad because Bush was". "you can't sit here telling me how awful Obama is for doing it when he's not the first one" Seriously, go die in a fire. You're basically telling us we can't say Obama is bad because he's not the only one that is bad?

Gosh I even knew he was 44th! Clinton was 42nd! Hmm... Well at least you learned so you wouldn't do something dumb like have that argument with another adult! Man that'd be an uber FYL lol.

#50, #54: He's leading this country back to greatness having inherited Bush's disasterous economic and foreign affairs blunders. How do I know that he's one of the greatest presidents ever? I just have more foresight than you! #59: Grover Cleveland is counted as the 22nd AND 24th president, and this has been the convention for more than a century. The counting of the list nowhere requires the members to be unique.
