Today, I was babysitting a 4 year-old with a speech impediment. I asked her, "Do you got your bag?" And she said, "No. I have my bag. Babies say got. I'm a big girl." I am 20 years old and in the honors program in my college. I was corrected by a 4 year-old with a speech impediment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was reading a picture storybook to a kindergarten kid. She could pronounce more words than me, and corrected me. I'm about triple her age. FML
Today, I got slapped by a date because she thought I was making fun of her speech impediment. I wasn't making fun, I just have the same speech impediment. FML
Today, the 4 year-old I was babysitting came up to me all happy, saying she went to the bathroom like a "big girl." Knowing she was just potty trained, I asked if she'd remembered to flush. Looking at me confused, she said, "But it's in my room." FML
Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML
Today, at work, I was helping someone who really sounded like she had a Boston accent. So, I asked her where she was from. She has never been out of state. Turns out she has a speech impediment. FML
Today, a four-year-old said a word that I didn't know the meaning of. I had to look up the definition. FML
Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. FML
Today, I was babysitting a one year-old. She'd just learned how to say yes, so if you asked her ANYTHING, she'd say yes. I asked her if she liked vegetables and she said, "Yes!" Then I asked her if I was pretty. She looked at me and said, "NO." FML
Today, I was teaching a small group of improv students. I asked one guy to do a monologue, and laughed to myself while he did so. I said, "Sorry, I'm just laughing at the way you're doing it." He then got upset and pointed out that he had a speech impediment. FML
Today, a customer punched me in the face for repeating their order back to them because they thought I was making fun of their speech impediment. I have the same speech impediment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I agree with #25. In my work I conduct presentations to large groups and write extensively. In those situations, I'm being paid to use proper grammar. When I'm relaxing in casual situations, I communicate like a normal human - just as you did. It was a great post though.

She probably is learning English and is paying more attention to her speech.

Even I know that, and I'm always being corrected for my grammar. You are an idiot, you are probably one of those people that only remembers things for the test and doesn't care about how what they are learning might be useful in life. Do us all a favor and drop out of college to make room for the rest of us. MORON.

Apparently wherever you go to college grammar doesn't matter much, does it? No one says "Do you got" You would say: Got it? or Do you have. Come on now. Seriously.

You know that speech impediment means that they just have trouble speaking right? It doesn't actually mean they're retarded. I know some kids, one of which is my cousin, who has a speech impediment and he is actually very smart, lazy but smart. haha. So, YDI for being so inconsiderate. Serves you right. Probably thought that talking down to her like a baby was going to make her understand you.

Wow. So you're saying anyone with a lisp shouldn't know grammar? I'm not at all sure how you reached that conclusion. Just because the kid has a speech impediment doesn't mean she's as stupid as you.

You deserved it. And what, are you in the honors program at a community college?

Seriously? This stupid FML gets published and all my great ones don't? This is so not FML worthy. More like "I'm such a ******* retard" worthy. She's a pretty sharp kid, too.
