Today, I walked into the kitchen at 5 am, to have my 7 and 9 year olds throw a bucket of water on me. To their surprise and horror, I didn't melt. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents woke me up by pouring a glass of freezing cold water over my head. Their reason? They were "bored". FML
Today, I got up early to prank my family. I put a bucket of ice water on top of a door frame so whoever walked through would get an icy surprise. After I was done, I went back to bed. I woke up groggy and disoriented like always and walked right through the doorway I had rigged. FML
Today, my mom decided to wake me up by pouring ice cold water on my face. Again. FML
Today, while working my job as a swim instructor, my coworker sprayed me with the hose. I instinctively held up what I was holding to block the cold water. I was holding a 4 year-old. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Today, I tried to pull the old "bucket of water above the door" prank on my brother, but the bucket didn't fall when he opened the door. He noticed it, took it down, then pinned me to the floor and waterboarded me with the ice-cold water. FML
Today, while relaxing in the kitchen drinking coffee, my dad suddenly rushed in, knocking me over and causing me to spill boiling hot coffee all over myself. Then, my dad thought it would be a good idea to grab the sprayer from the sink and douse me with cold water in order to "put me out." FML
Today, I was shut in a boiling hot room with six children: a ten year-old who kept shouting; a belligerent seven year-old; two five year-olds who thought hitting me was funny, and two two year-olds who wouldn't stop crying. Their parents were just outside, laughing away, ignoring me. FML
Today, it's the third time in a row that I've woken myself up in the middle of the night by pouring freezing cold water on myself. I didn’t even have water on my nightstand last night. I woke up in the kitchen. FML
Today, I left for work. Halfway to my car, my neighbour's son jumped out and emptied a bucket of water all over me. The little pissant screamed with laughter and ran back to his house. His mum's reaction was essentially, "Kids will be kids" and slamming the door on me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you send the flying monkeys after them?

O kids. That's some story you tell them when they grow up.

I don't think the Wizard ever told them that the Witch would melt with water. Dorothy figured it out on her own when she tried to douse the burning Scarecrow and the Witch was in the way. All the Wizard wanted was her damn broom.

I'm more curious as to why a 7 & 9 year old would be awake @ 5 am and thinking clearly enough to get together and do that...are they possessed? Maybe tell them you're taking them to an exorcist to have the demons of stupidity banished from their bodies or you could touch their foreheads with a Bible, start quoting scriptures & see if the shriek in pain & run....then you'll know if there's something to really worry about.

That seems a little over the top.

26- When I was nine, I would stay up the entire night on the weekends, going to bed at 6am or 7am, and waking up around 1pm. Last night was a Saturday night, so it is possible that the older one at least was awake the entire night. My parents let me have free reign of my sleep schedule from around the age of nine, under the conditions that I was never mouthy or irritable when I had to wake up, continued getting good school scores, and behaved well. I'd play Priston Tale or FFX the entire night, then trot out to the kitchen, make my parent's toast and coffee, and wake them up, feeling totally awesome about myself. I realize that's highly unusual parenting, but it's possible that OP's kids are like that.

It's actually normal for some kids to be up and alert that early. I know mine are. :/

The ****.

You obviously don't have children or didn't have sibling around your age group growing up. It is quite normal for kids to stay up late special with a brother or sister close to their age

My kids are pretty good about going to bed when needed to, on the weekends I usually let them have free reign but they're also only 6 & 7. I'm all for "unusual parenting" as long as it's healthy!

That's so traumatic for your kids. Now they see you're an unstoppable witch and they're stuck with you!

Not melting in water would mean she's NOT a witch.
