Today, I took off the training wheels of my niece's bike. I tried to show her how to ride it, but she told me to get off because I needed a "fat girl's bike." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was teaching my daughter how to ride a bike with no training wheels. After comforting her and assuring her that she'd be fine, I gave her a big push. She fell forward over the handlebars and scraped her chin on the front wheel. FML
Today, I tried to show my little cousin how to ride a bike without training wheels. Not only did I crash into a bush, but the handlebars hit me in the nuts, and I ended up rolling around like a Labrador in shit in front of the neighbors. FML
Today, I assembled my kid’s birthday bike without reading the instructions. I proudly presented it, only for him to sit on it and immediately realize the handlebars were on backwards. The training wheels were also uneven, so it leaned like a sinking ship. My kid said, “It’s OK Dad, it's not your fault,” which hurt more than if he’d laughed. FML
Today, my wife threatened to leave me for "bodyshaming" our daughter by giving her a bicycle for her birthday. I bought her a bike because she's been asking for one for months. FML
Today, the girl who likes me incredibly much asked me if she could come for a ride with me on my motorcycle. Normally this isn't a problem as I take lots of people out for rides for fun, but this time I had no choice but to tell her she couldn't because she's just too heavy for it. FML
Today, my sister stole my bike and gave it to her boyfriend. When I told my parents, they said it was fine, because I wasn't using it anyway. The reason I wasn't using it was because it needed a new tire, and I was saving up for one. FML
Today, the girl of my dreams asked me if I wanted to go biking with her. "Just the two of us," she said. I had to turn her down because I'm 17 years old and never learned how to ride a bike. FML
Today, I argued with my mom that I deserved enough independence to ride my bike to school. Halfway there, I realized I was so out of shape that I had to call her for a ride. FML
Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML
Today, I was showing my 6-year-old son how easy and safe it is to ride a bike. I didn't notice a pebble, bust up my leg, and my son is now terrified of bicycles. FML

Ouch!!! Crazy kids!!!! Yes I'm sure that is not what she meant, you might want to remind her that it is inappropriate to say such hurtful things!;)

Lol. She did not try to hold back on that one. Seems like something my niece would say to me. :/

Oh, your secret's out! The world, including you, was completely oblivious to the fact that your enormous girth qualifies you as "fat!" The truth comes out of the mouths of babes!

Should've left the training wheels back on

She was worried you would break her bike. A bike with training wheels is too small for an adult to ride and not look ridiculous.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd LOVE your child calling you fat. I don't understand all of these people passing off her comment as 'her just being a kid.' Children throwing around insults isn't cute, and laughing/ brushing it off when they're little will only encourage them to continue to mouth off to others when they're older....and then it isn't so cute.

It was probably her way of telling you the kid's bike is meant for a smaller person's size. But TV, magazines, and Barbie dolls today all play into perpetuating the stereotype that most people are considered fat at strict standards.
