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?

@ #62-- if you're going to call someone a dumbass for having bad grammar, you can at least learn to spell. @ #63-- unless you yourself are in the top 20% of your class, you cannot say this without sounding bitter.

maybe they should reconsider the decision to put you in the honors program, if you don't know how to speak simple English properly.

#72, it's true. Book smarts do not equal common sense--I can tell you that 2/3 of the people I graduated magna cum laude with are complete morons when it comes to anything but tests and books. Grades only reflect how you test, not how well you perform in society.

You deserved it. This made my day. I'm pretty anal about grammar usage and punctuation, so this made my smile That kid put your bitch ass on check. YDI x 20! Stop being a douche bag and thinking that because people have any kind of impediments and whatnot that they can't be as "intelligent" as you, because you seriously got owned. That kid is now my hero!

To #7: Yeah and you type like a caveman. Learn to use capitalization. Original Poster: So? Imagine if she ran into a New Yorker who has an accent. They say "gots" and "yous".

Well.. you're pretty much a moron if you think anyone with a speech impediment is unintelligent. You deserve it for being an insensitive, arrogant douche.
