Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to give his mother a box of chocolates and flowers for Mother's Day. She just stared at them and said, "What's this for? You're not my daughter, and never will be. But I'll keep the chocolate." FML
Today, I woke up really early before my mom so I could make pancakes for Mother's Day. I placed everything on a tray and even picked a flower, had a card for her and took it to her bedroom. She said, "You shouldn't have, pancakes are fattening." She took one bite and fed the rest to the dogs. FML
Today, to be nice, I baked cookies for my step-mom as a birthday present. I burnt my hand while putting them in the oven, but I'd hoped it would be worth it. When she got home, I gave one for her to try. She took a bite, spit it out, and threw it on the floor, asking if it was a joke or if I was really trying to poison her. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I went to make cookies, the box said mix by hand so I literally used my hands. Not a fork or anything. My step-mom walked in and laughed at me. FML
Today, I surprised my boyfriend by baking him some cookies for the first time. He took a bite and said, "Wow, these taste exactly like the ones my mom used to make!" I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'd used a store-bought mix, because I can’t bake to save my life. FML
Today, my aunt and I wanted to do something nice. So we made cookies for a local nursing home. After tasting them, nobody ate any. FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, while at the office, a surprise Valentine's gift arrived for me, the first I've ever received. It was a box of heart-shaped cookies. From my mother. I'm 39. FML
Today, I learned where my mom's "special hiding spot" that I'll "never find" for the Halloween chocolate is, when I preheated the oven to make cookies. FML

He probably read them upside down and they said "wow." I'd take Wow cookies to work.

Cookies laying around are always up for grabs! It's too tempting to pass up. I'm sure the thought still made your mom happy and a laugh for later years.

Not trying to be mean but you deserved it a little bit. You should have told him about the cookies or hid them.

I mean.... Really? The cookies literally said MOM on them. Does he open mom's mail also?

I don't understand how it could be OPs fault. He took ALL of them not even considering who they may belong to. I never took stuff out of the fridge that I didn't buy or that I didn't know was for me. That's just rude.

The hunger for cookies outmatches the hunger for literacy

Hey, look at the bright side. Since he proved not to be the smartest guy around, you will now be the favorite child !

Unless the brother gets mom a gift and OP is left with nothing but crumbs.

speaking as a man forced to live among the over grown children that CA produces I can safely assume he is that stupid. I but this story whole heartedly.

Based on the fact that he took all of them, I'd say he knew but just didn't care.

That's what you get for spelling mum as mom.

Your comment makes me facepalm. Accept that different parts of the world have different spellings.
