Today, I had to lie to my coworkers about me and some guy beating the absolute shite out of each other in a bar fight, all to avoid admitting my black eye was from my 7 year old son punching me in the face the other day. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, two days after losing my temper with my smart mouthed 7 year-old son and slapping him across the face, I tried to apologize by buying him a treat and telling him if anyone found out, I would get in trouble. Today, I got a call from social services about the "bruise" on his face. FML
Today, I posted on my Facebook wall that I'd gotten into a huge bar fight and had the shit kicked out of me, all to avoid having to tell the truth, namely that I'd stayed home all night because nobody invited me out to party. FML
Today, I accidentally gave myself a black eye. I would laugh about it if my friends didn't start suspecting that my husband is abusing me, and won't listen when I try to explain what really happened. FML
Today, I got a black eye while trying to break up a fight caused by some complete bastard making a "yo momma" joke at the funeral of my best friend's mother. FML
Today, I was peppered with questions about my swollen eye and if I'd gotten into a fight. I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'd been brutally beaten into submission by a doorknob. FML
Today, my girlfriend actually walked into a door and gave herself a black eye. She's too embarrassed to admit it, so she's telling everyone I beat her. FML
Today, while arm wrestling with my boyfriend, I had to pretend he beat me. FML
Today, my father-in-law asked why my wife had a black eye. I got as far as, “Yeah that was me, I…” before he broke my nose. I get the 'protecting his daughter' thing, but if he’d let me finish, I’d have said “was putting up a shelf she wanted, but I dropped it on her. Total accident.” FML
Today, during a major argument with my girlfriend, I shoved a door open, which then rebounded and hit me in the face. I'm not sure which is more pathetic: that I was savaged by a door, or that I made up a story about kicking a mugger's ass to explain the huge black eye to my coworkers. FML
Today, at work, a man punched me in the face because he said I took his son's job. He meant both me and his son applied for the same job. He also asked to speak to my boss, because he thinks I "cheated." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

We all know the toothpaste cap gave you the black eye, don't lie.

Wow, 7 is definitely way old enough to know better than that. I would've gotten my ass handed to me if I'd punched my parent hard enough to leave a black eye at that age

Why was your 7 year old in a bar? :P

It's easier said than done, but not caring what others think about you really makes life more enjoyable. It was probably more convenient to make up a quick lie in this scenario, but even if you did tell your coworkers "my son accidentally punched me. lol", it wouldn't have mattered what they would have thought.

Next time just admit what happened. You all can just laugh about it later.

But was it an accident? that's the real question here.

That's silly. Just tell them the truth. It makes sense that you wouldn't defend yourself or hit back your little son, so getting a black eye from him, while surprising, isn't emasculating. You "let" it happen because, what were you gonna do? Punch him back? Telling people you get in bar fights paints a worse picture of you, in my opinion.

Maybe his son was trying to rescue a basket of kittens. Or at least that's what he tells the other kids at school.

You're too much of a pansy to hit back?

lmfaooo that's awesome man. hey sorry about your eye but at least you know your kid will be able to defend himself when he gets older, there's that at the very least.
