Today, I heard my 2-year-old sister crying, so I left my room to comfort her. She looked at me, held my hand, escorted me back to my room and closed the door. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 2-year-old sister walked in on me while I was showering. She began to splash around in the toilet, and as I hastily jumped out to stop her, my brother and his friend got a good look as they walked past the room. FML
Today, I was putting my 2 year old to bed, and I began to sing to her. She reached up, put her finger over my lips, and said, "Shhh, Mommy." FML
Today, I decided to scare my 10 year old sister for fun. I hid behind a door and leapt out, shouting "Boo!" when she walked by. She burst into tears and ran screaming to my mom. My mom thought I'd hit my sister, and was so angry that she punched me in the eye. FML
Today, I heard my sisters fighting downstairs, so I went down to see what all the commotion was about. As I entered the room, one of them picked me up and threw me at the other one. FML
Today, I went to pick up my daughter from preschool. When I got there, I ran to give her a hug. She screamed and ran away. FML
Today, I had to put my little sister to bed. Usually my mom sings her a lullaby before she puts her to sleep, so I did too. After I finished the song, my sister looked me dead in the eyes and said, "This is why I tell people we aren't related." FML
Today, my parents let me babysit my baby sister for the first time. About an hour after they left, I was carrying her downstairs and tripped. Try calling your parents from the hospital and explaining that their daughter, who can't even crawl yet, has a broken leg. FML
Today, my little sister was scared to sleep alone, so my parents made her sleep in bed with me. I barely slept, due to the utter terror of waking up to her chanting into my ear in a low whisper, "This is where you die, this is where you die..." FML
Today, my little sister asked me what she would look like when she got older. I told her that she would probably look a lot like me. She started to cry. FML
Today, my 7-year-old sister had a nightmare, so I let her sleep in my bed. I woke up to her punching me in the face and giving me a black eye. Apparently, she not only screams when she's having a nightmare, she also "gives the bad guy a taste of his own medicine." FML

Maybe you were the cause of her distress.

Looks like you have quite an independent sister there.

I don't think she would have reacted that calmly if he were the cause xD I think the crying would get louder

Maybe she wanted attention but not from his brother.

Perhaps she didn't want you to see her cry. Nothing wrong with that OP, don't feel bad!

Exactly, #3. It's most likely that she was embarassed.

normally, 2 year olds dont look that deep into things

Let her calm down, and then go back in to see what was wrong.

What was a two year old child doing unsupervised? Maybe it's just the way the fml was worded, but it sounds like the child was in a room crying by herself.

#58 well, not everybody is keeping their children in a cage under constant supervision. It's not like she was abandoned somewhere. There were other family members nearby - the proof is that her brother immediately went to check on her when he heard something was wrong. So chill.

58, my two year old loves to be by herself. I give her space because i think that's healthy to be able to spend time alone as well as time with others. She comes to get me when she needs something or wants a playmate.

They grow up so fast.

Alone time when you're sad is underrated.

That is so tragically adorable

She was just having a private moment and didn't want to be disturbed
sturschaedel 27
I hope you are joking, because two-year-old don't even understand the meaning of "private moment".
Myo_fml 20
A private moment doesn't always entail touching oneself.
sturschaedel 27
That was not at all what I was going for! But kids that age are still so dependent on help or at least a watchful eye that they don't purposely try to spend time alone. They might go to their room because their toys are there, or they might stay there engrossed in play when the adults leave but they will not go away "to be alone". I have a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old and they don't go off alone with the sole purpose of being alone.

Just because your kids don't do it, doesn't mean kids in general don't do it. My son doesn't feel the need to be alone, however my 2 year old niece frequently hides in her room when she is upset, she is easily embarrassed and doesn't like anyone to see her cry, no matter why she is crying.

OK, I didn't know there where two-year-olds that do this. I was just referencing my kids because I'm around then a lot, but all our friends, my BIL and some other relatives have kids somewhere from baby to 13-year-olds (all around about 60 kids) and naturally we have discussed behaviour with a lot of them over time and the general tenor was that kids at age two seek their parents for comfort when they are hurt or sad or frustrated. This is the first time I've heard of a kid that age willfully crying alone. I guess you learn something new every day.

Just talk to her about it later insure it wasn't that big of a deal
sturschaedel 27
She's two. Later doesn't really exist in such small kids. They live for the moment.

She's two. Nothing in her life is a big deal. The most she's got to worry about is nap time and maybe someone burning her cookies.
