Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my family was cleaning out our basement when I noticed an empty wall. I asked my grandma if I could put a picture up. She replied, "I don't want your ugly drawings on the wall". I wasn't talking about my drawings. FML
Today, my friend showed me a creepy piece of artwork he'd drawn. I laughed and said that it would give me nightmares, meaning it as a compliment. Turns out, this one was in honor of his dead grandmother, who'd raised him. FML
Today, I had to send a picture of my Grandma at her funeral to my girlfriend, because she thought I was out cheating on her. FML
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML
Today, my Nana showed me her new sign that says, "Some of my greatest blessings call me Nana." We stood there looking at a wall FULL of pictures of her grandkids, which is where she wanted to hang it. After scanning the wall a couple times, I realized. There was not one picture of me. FML
Today, my grandma commented on my Facebook profile picture: "That's a great photo! It doesn't look anything like you!" FML
Today, I found out my deceased grandmother never liked anything that I bought for her. She would never say anything to not hurt my feelings. The only reason I bought those things in the first place was because growing up she told me that she liked them. Now that she's gone, I'm hearing what she really thought. FML
Today, my grandpa saw one of the paintings in the guest room at my house. "What the fuck?" he snorted, then said whoever painted it should "stick to their damn day job". I painted it. FML
Today, I received a package at work. Thinking it was something I ordered, I opened it in front of my coworkers. It was a gift from my grandmother: a giant pink, “I Love My Grandson” T-shirt. The worst part? They insisted I put it on and take a picture to send to her. FML
Today, I walked into my house to find everyone sitting around the table and looking sad. I thought it would be a good time to crack a joke and said, "What's wrong? Grandma finally die?" Turns out she had. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm trying so hard, darling, and I just can't picture in my head how anyone could make out a graveyard from a bridge... Also...why would you draw your grandmother a bridge in the first place? It just seems like an odd drawing...unless she was an architect back in her day or something.

Did you draw R.I.P on the bridge?

Some of my fondest memories include a bridge. Although there's only so far you can go with abstract art before you're no longer an artist. You're just a nutter.

I'm trying to picture it too, it's not working for me o.O

3: If it was a *really* messed up bridge, and it looked like a upside-down U, and maybe it had a dark background, so maybe it looked like a close-up of a gravestone? :/
Mirorbo 27
Hmmm.... I suppose only then would I be able to see it. Perhaps I give OP too much credit on their technique, which is what's preventing me from seeing it.

When you are old enough to post on fml you shouldn't be making pictures at all.

Maybe it's a stone bridge that arches up, and it looked like the top of a grave stone

Ah, I kinda see how this could happen. :P If you drew a bridge with a half-circle underneath and the cross-pieces under the bridge formed tombstone-like shapes, it would look like a hill with tombstones on it. Your mistake for drawing something so easily misinterpreted though.

i think you suck in drawing AND creativity. Why cant you draw a birthday cake instead of a bridge?
FFML_314 12
MAYBE THE BRIDGE WAS LEADING TO THE BIRTHDAY CAKE! Did you ever think about that? NO! You didn't! *Shakes finger*

Its the bridge that takes her to the next life or she already crossed that bridge and she is looking at the living side.

#10 u make no sense. Haha. Immature kid.
FFML_314 12
If that didn't make sense to you, then there's no hope for you.

13. Only kids call people kids. Just like homophobes are in the closet.
Angel_Vice 0
Yes. Because a birthday cake would have been EXTREMELY creative.
daywalker26 0
it's called opening your eyes and seeing whats not there with a positive spin on it!!! anythings possible

Implying a cake is creative... Yeah...

I, for one, agree with pendatik. That "kid" comment gave me a chuckle.

I thought #10's comment was pretty funny.
FFML_314 12
Of course it was funny! Ugh, if I'm a bitch, they complain. If I'm witty, they whine. If I'm funny, they freak out. If I'm nice, they never get it! I CAN'T WIN!

So you'll have to settle for being a witty, whiney, funny, freaky, nice bitch.

Are you old enough to post here? Just get her a ******* birthday card.

Lesson one: if you can't draw properly when you're younger than 12, it's ok. Lesson two: if you can't draw properly when you're older than 12, don't draw for others, draw for yourself for fun, but not for others. Lesson three: if you want to draw for others who are not your lover, try simple things (not that I know what's more simple than a bridge, but shht) OR your grandma herself (that's something people might like)

Lesson four: If you are not a professional artist or artist-in-training, don't draw a picture as a birthday gift. OP, was it on ruled paper? Did it take you less than five minutes? Next time get your grandmother a proper gift.

Her grandmother is going to will to her, as inheritance, a crayon drawn picture of a million dollar bill. The caption will be "draw a bridge and get over it".

Next time leave the drawing to the experts. Think you deserved it for being wack.
