Today, I walked into a restaurant with my parents to celebrate my Mom's birthday. They immediately got a kid's menu and crayons out for me. I'm 15. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went out to dinner with my family. I was given a kids menu when the hostess sat us down. I'm 24. FML
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, my parents were supposed to take me out to eat for my birthday, but since their favorite child wasn't with us, I instead got a mini order of tots from Sonic as my birthday meal/present. FML
Today, my mother bought me Mickey Mouse shaped burgers for my dinner. I'm 19. FML
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML
Today, I told my 15 year-old son that I was taking my wife to a fancy restaurant for her birthday, so he would be on his own tonight. Most teenagers would play video games, watch porn, and sneak a beer, which I would be okay with. He started crying and asked why he was "left out", then clung to my wife's leg. FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my mother, where the waiter complimented my "wife". I'm not 18, and she's over 40. FML
Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML
Today, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend and his mom. The hostess asked if I needed "the kid's menu," remarked how I look "so grown up for your age," and asked what grade I was in. I said I'm in university. She laughed as if it was the best joke ever told. I'm 22. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Coloring and chicken fingers are the best. Not an FYL ;)

When my mom was in her 50s some people would still confuse her for a teenager. Not very often, but sometimes. Mostly it was just because she was so short, but on Halloween it was funny because with lots of make-up on and a costume she could still get loads of candy door-to-door :D

I'm 19, and went to dinner with my fiance and his brother. The waitress gives us a quick glance, and says "Will you guys be needing crayons and a children's menu?" We didn't say anything, hoping that she'd assume that we didn't. She then looks at me, and repeats the question. Looking at me the whole time. And won't leave us alone about it until my fiance says "No". I know the pain. =P I also still get carded for R-rated movies, and half of my coworkers forget that I'm old enough to sell cigarettes.

I'm jealous. I stopped getting crayons when I was 13. I want some crayons, dangit.

I will ask for crayons until the day I die. Don't feel bad... Someone thought I was 11 on my 18th birthday. No complaining for you. I'm going to have problems at bars when I turn 21, aren't I? Whatever... When I look like I am 25 when I am 32, I won't be complaining :D

Oh my gosh I'm REALLY sorry! It happens to me ( im almost 15) and its soo embarrasing : because people always think im a stupid pre-teen or something just cuz i'm short and smallish :(. But hey the good thing is that we hopefully wont be all old looking when we're 50!!! And its ok it happens to everyone, like my all my friends are younger than me look like theyre 3 years older! one of them got aksed if she wanted a beer at a resturant!!!

So what?! I'm 15 and I love the crayons and kid's menus! :) Take it as a compliment, you may look young but it'll pay off when you get older.
