Today, I'm beginning to regret explaining death to my 3-year-old son. We were at the supermarket when he looked at an elderly woman and loudly told her "You're gonna die soon!" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my 6-year-old son to visit his grandmother, as the doctors say she only has days left to live. Minutes after we arrived, he leaned in close and told her that she's going to hell. FML
Today, I was talking to my only grandson about how I was going to the dentist to get my teeth fixed and how it was going to cost a lot of money, he replied saying "Who cares, you're going to die soon anyways". FML
Today, my four-year-old asked me when I was going to die. I replied "Not for a long time, why?" He looked at me and stated "Because I only want to live with Daddy." FML
Today, I went to the graveyard with my little brother to visit my grandfather's grave. While we were there, my brother suddenly asked me, "Can you die now? I hate you." He's 7 years-old. FML
Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML
Today, I woke up to my 5-year-old son covering my nose and mouth with his hand and complaining, "Noooo, you need to die now." FML
Today, during my uncle's funeral, my four year old loudly asked, "Where's all the dead people?" FML
Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML
Today, my phone made a random noise. I jokingly said, "Wow, I wonder who died now?" Turns out it was my son's grandmother. I had to explain it because I screamed. I also got to tell his dad that his mom just died. FML
Today, I took my very talkative toddler to a grocery store. As we passed a woman in an aisle, my kid pointed and said loudly, "Mummy, why does that lady have such a funny face?" I had to awkwardly apologize while my face went beet red. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Explain to her that that was not appropriate.

I'm trying to find a bright side to this situation, but for once I really can't

"ma'am it's entirely inappropriate for someone of your age to be out and about and enjoying their lives where my son can see..." something like this?

Yeah, because every 3 year old out there understands the word “appropriate”! Not...

You should tell her it's not appropriate and that she will get in trouble if she continues. You are the parent. You can stop her.

The OP explicitly mentions her 3 year old son, not daughter.

You might also have to explain to him what things are appropriate to say to people

I still do. I'm just shy when it comes to commenting

You and me both. I get all paranoid everyone is going to dislike my comment, so I don't bother.

FML's community will downvote you to hell if your comment doesn't match expectations Followed by other comments that further drive the poor guy out of town Still, there is something endearing about the FML community Like finding an aggressive, but cute baby alien that you can keep as a pet

Or a cute, feral kitten. (Reference to earlier fml)
