Today, I quit smoking. My son came home with an ashtray he made in arts and crafts class. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I decided to quit smoking. During my lunch break, I tried to ash the KitKat bar that was in my hand after I took a bite. FML
Today, I decided to quit smoking. My wife conveniently decided on the same day that she was going to start smoking. FML
Caught in 4K
Today, after secretly smoking for more than two years, I decided to quit. I came home from work to see my wife holding a pack and asking me what was it doing behind the toilet seat. FML
Today, I finally found a reason to quit smoking. I threw my cigarette butt out the window and it blew back in, went down the back of my pants, and burnt my butt in 3 different places. FML
Get 'em while they're young
Today, I got a citation from school. My 10-year-old son was caught smoking cigarettes during recess. FML
Today, I walked in on my son holding a lighter to the end of a pen and sniffing the fumes. Apparently he thought it would get him high. FML
Smoking is bad
Today, I was on my back porch having a cigarette. Not being all that awake yet, I threw the butt, still smoldering, on the ground. Did I remember that there was an ashtray right next to me? No. I did what I would do at work; I stamped it out. Barefoot. FML
Holy smokes
Today, I’m down to my last, partially snapped cigarette. I carefully taped it back together, enough for at least half a smoke. I then snapped it completely while opening the door to go outside and smoke it. FML
Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. FML
Today, as I was smoking a cigarette I realized that it's time to quit. This realization came to me after a particularly violent coughing bout forced not tar out of my lungs, but rather poo out of my bum. FML

This means that it will forever look just like the day he brought it home. Never tarnished with ashes. In a few months he will be bragging to his friends about it.

To which I hope you said, "Thank you very much, it's lovely." And then used it for a candy dish. Don't break the little buggers heart because you finally gave up a bad habit.

Use it to put your chewed up gum in. (:

Or just throw your gum away...

Then what will OP use the ash tray for?
harrystylesfan69 5
He can use it to put spare change in or something?

45 - A plate or food tray? There are endless possibilities!

Use it as a soap dish!
Awsumuzzie 12
Condom holder!

Or you could leave it for people who come to your house that actually smoke... Or sell it on eBay!

You could hang it on the wall. Just because your son made it as an ashtray doesn't mean you have to use it as an ashtray. I use my T-shirt as a napkin. Same principle.

Wear it as a hat.

Throw spare change in it, tarnish it with coins

That was really nice

Excellent thought. And use the handmade *dish* to mark the occasion. Very 'Gift of the Magi'

I'll probably get thumbed down for this, but I don't mind. First off, a big congratulations to you for finally deciding to quit. I'm sure t will be difficult. However, YDI. I highly highly doubt that the education system would promote children to make ash trays at school. This being said, it wad probably your son's idea to make the ash tray for you. This means that you have been smoking far too long and far too frequently. I'm sorry but I have absolutely no sympathy for people who have chosen to smoke. Not only affecting yourself, but also those around you. You should have quit a long time ago. I apologize in advance for the rant. Goodnight.

Trust me, the OP would be better without cigarettes. I'd rather not smoke.

Why did 29 get thumbed down? Smoking can lead to lung cancer.

Maybe cause he said it in a mean way. lol

Are you a moron?

Were you dropped on your head when you were a baby? Smoking= bad just in case you haven't noticed.

Exactly what I was thinking! Candy dishes are awesome!

Why is this even an FML!?!

I think OP is saying she is quitting because she smokes so much her son decided to make her an ash tray instead of a jewelry box or something cute.

Your son is putting you to the test.

Good on you for deciding to quit but lol, damn you, irony!

That's what the kids used to do at my elementary school used to do! They would make ash trays for their parents! Thats before we knew about the harms of smoking. Now they make other things.
Dajucy1 7
use it as a reminder that you're above smoking
Angelrose2004 17
It may just be me, but I find it odd that children are making ashtrays in arts and crafts! Are they going to hand out cigarettes next?
VasilisaUzhasnaj 29
That's a bit irrelevant and extreme..I'm pretty sure the teacher didn't instruct him to make the ashtray. It doesn't seem strange to me at all, the kid wanted to make his parent a useful present. Very thoughtful kid.

Your comment is interesting. Never really thought about it. In High School I made 4 ashtrays (even though no one in my family smokes). It was just an easy grade. Two of my vases blew up so I stuck with smaller projects. (:

It isn't that peculiar to make an ashtray in school... In high school some kids tried getting away with making bongs in ceramics
Xxlaurahatakexx 9
If the 'kid' is old enough to make an ashtray, it's no longer 'arts and crafts'. That's little kid sh*t lol. It's just art class.
Kgirl2cute 6
I made an ashtray in seventh grade, even though nobody in my family smokes. It's pretty much the easiest thing to start with.

I thought the same thing

10 - you sound like an overprotective parent who always wants to shelter her children. Ashtrays are a simple clay sculpture that can even be done in elementary schools because it can be used as a bowl or a candy dish too. Its neutral in nature. They're not condoning smoking, but not condemning it either.
