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 would just like to say that you called OP a 'freaking moron', and you're using text speech like 'wut'. That will be all.

I have a speech impediment and I take offense to this. I know you didn't mean it cruelly, but just because someone has a speech impediment doesn't make them any less intelligent. In fact, the only thing it does is cause some trouble with particular letters when speaking, it doesn't make you an idiot. Please be aware next time you want to assume someone is stupid for no reason.

Having a speech impediment has nothing to do with grasping basic concepts of grammar.

Well said #44. Using "got" is just plain awful.

I put "I agree, your life is f***ed" simply because you can't speak so therefore your life is f**ked. I don't feel sorry for you though...learn to speak.

#42...for real? Don't call other people morons when you didn't spell; capitalize; or use commas, adverbs, question marks, and periods correctly in your comment. And #47? Really? You criticize "got" but use "plain awful"? I hope that was meant to be ironic.

21 im guessing there wasn't a verbal interview with an admissions staff... "so what kind of classes do you got here?" "we got the maths and the englishes" "i don't got a high school transcript" "don't worry, we got all kinds of students"

Unless your honors program requires you to take an exhaustive written, oral, and physical(?) examination on grammar, I don't see the problem. And I will venture that this little gal recently learned grammar. It is like when I chastised my father as a young one for not knowing what I JUST learned that day in chemistry class. It is absolutely meaningless.
