Today, I spent over 20 minutes trying to convince my daughter that the word she was trying to use was "Back-pack" and not "Back-back". I never convinced her. She is 16 years old. FML
peonypiney tells us more.
This is my FML. YES, she is extremely blonde and believe it or not, a straight A student. I have never noticed she said it that way before until she had it written down. I've never caught it because we usually say "Book Bag". Her older brother finally convinced her through mockery and laughter.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She has obviously never watched Dora the explorer. They sing about backpacks in every friggen episode.

Ydi for not teaching her the correct terminology from the start. It's your fault she will fail at life. Tsk tsk.

Not sure of FYL or YDI. If she told me this, I'd be pissed.

She should take her "back" to grammar school

57- *at least Also, I got over the thought that it was "backback" when I was 5.
LiveLaughFML 10
this is a memory from my childhood.. "anything that you might need, I got it all for you! backpack, backpack. backpack, backpack. backpack, backpack. YAY!" - Dors the Explorer
DK1234567 8
Is it weird that it's really hard for me to say Back-Back without accidentally saying Back-Pack
evilplatypus 39
Why are people thumbing down Xena? Your children are the product of YOUR rearing, unless you're an absentee parent. And if that's the case, it's even moreso your fault how they turn out!

Lol this FML reminded me of "Jack Jack" from the incredibles :)

Try 'book bag', she might be able to understand that one.

"Sorry mom I forgot my back-back!" "Your what? "My back-back?" "What...The....****...?"

She'd better be REALLY hot, or else she won't get very far in life.

Obviously one child left behind wouldn't hurt.

I used to think it was called a "back sack" ... But then again I was only 6 O_o

XxDevilxXGt 26
She's obviously trying to warn you about something.. Back, back, GET TO THE CHOPPA!
Juggalette_623 9
Who the **** really cares? So she calls it something different, big ******* whoop. Some people I know call them "pack-sacks". Here's a news flash, it doesn't mean anything. She can still function normally right? I mean is her saying "back-back" keeping her in special ed or something? Quit your bitching because it sounds like you just have a problem with her saying it. Did it ever occur to you that she could be saying it like that to piss you off? Gah, you're stupid.

Feel better now 159?
bfsd42 20
Why everyone thumb down 39? She is right. Good parenting = Clever children.
bfsd42 20
57, you are right about " at least", but your admission made me thumb you down.
ScuseMePrincess 2
She'll probably wind up making a living on her back-back for men every night...
Juggalette_623 9
@166 Very. Thank you.
llZombiell 5
I think 159 is just mad because she lost her back-back full of tampons and antidepressants :(
mizAJ 1
If you remember Dora explorer being in your childhood....your obviously still a child.
Marcella1016 32
Thanks 188...I kinda wanted to say all that but didn't feel like typing it lol An I still dont see why it upset 159 so much :P

159 - shhh, it will be okay. go to sleep
iAmPaul 49
173 - 57 was incorrect, and she was corrected by 74, there was nothing wrong with the conversation until you butted in. -.-
zinby_123 7
She was probably just messing with you, she's 16. I do that, and I'm 16.
Dashelle 25
Wow--does she understand the correct way to say it now? I mean sometimes people argue their side of the argument just to make themselves not sound stupid. Especially teenagers.
ddlovatolover 23
Even Dora knows it's "backpack".

Shes 16, shes probably just messing with her mom.

"Satchel" is also an acceptable name for it.

Reeaalllyyy? Is she blond? Or just that stubborn? >.
Isoldael 27
To be honest I think the blonde stereotype is pretty funny (and yes, I'm blonde, too).
KiddNYC1O 22
The blonde joke is rotting.
BellaBelle_fml 23
I don't mind being blonde, it gives me an excuse for my occasional lapses in intelligence. Whereas brunettes don't have an excuse, they are simply stupid.

108 - just to be clear: gingers may have no souls, but they're freakin BAMFs (the girls anyway, guys have a harder time pulling off gingerdom) and will most DEFINITELY take over the world some day, two of my best friends are gingers, btw

Apparently the school shes in is not very effective.
crazyrunnergirl 7
No offense but I did not learn how to say " back-pack" in school. I learned from my family. That generally goes for other people to.
EmreArslan 11
Apparently americans get a ba education ZIIING!
FYLDeep 26
What the hell does she need a backpack for? It doesn't sound like she's the type of person who goes to school.
iDaniel525 8
What kinda Backback does she have?
stacianichole 2
The kind that's on the back of the back. It doesn't go on your back, but on the backer part of the back. The MOST backest back.
evilplatypus 39
Wouldn't the back of the back be the front? Which, when I was in HS, was how a lot of kids wore their knapsacks.
KiddNYC1O 22
The new back-back Jansport!
