Today, I was cast as beast in my high school's production of Beauty and the Beast. My Grandma's input? "At least they won't need any makeup." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was the first dress rehearsal at a community theater. I'm playing a grandma to a bunch of little kids, and the guy who is playing the grandpa wears a fat suit. I put on my costume and one of the kids comes up to me and says, "Are you wearing a fat suit too?" and pokes my stomach. FML
Today, my teacher told me I wasn't pretty enough to play the princess part in the play. FML
Today, it was good fun getting a nice vampire make-up at my drama lesson. It would've been better if I hadn't forgotten my Demak'up. Even better if I could've avoided the crazy glances in the bus home. FML
Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML
Today, my six-year-old son told me my makeup looks like his grandmother's did in the casket. FML
Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML
Today, my school's theatre decided to produce Les Misérables. I got the part of Éponine. My boyfriend, being a talented performer, could have gotten any part he wanted. However, he only wanted to play the soldier responsible for killing Éponine. FML
Today, I was trying out for a play I really wanted to be in. After my audition, I was feeling really good. She said she would post the cast list tomorrow. Not knowing where she would post it, I asked her. Her reply? "It doesn't matter. You won't be on it anyway." FML
Today, my school put on a musical. I was one of the leads, and in the middle of my solo, I got a huge nosebleed. A little girl in the front row screamed. FML
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML

Maybe they cast you as the beast because at the end he turns into a super handsome human again :]

Apparently, grandparents have no filters anymore. Sorry OP.

Did they ever?

^they usually don't have filters by that age. Biologically, each person is born with a set number of ***** to give throughout life. By the time they're over 65, they've simply run out of *****, and go through the "smartass geriatric" stage until they die. The two great quests of science are to make "artificial *****". (That, and cures for cancer). That way, people can live longer, and be less bitter while alive.

I must be the only FML user to have nice grandparents.

That, or your grandparents haven't reached their "no ***** given" stage quite yet.

Well at least you don't have to sit in a chair for an hour for makeup ;).

He should dress as the beast from X-men and add a new twist to the stale old fairytale.

When I read the first line of the FML I thought it WAS Beast from X-men. A shame it wasn't.

As a theatre person I know that getting a lead is huge (no matter what they may look like) because it means you're talented enough to pull it off. So don't sweat it OP! I've only ever had one lead (Hermione Granger in a Harry Potter musical) and even if you're the beast, it just means you're good enough to be a star.

Just rub it off and make sure she has been invited to the play, if she doesnt go then forget her, if she does, then in the end its all that matters.
NeinKittenz 20
What does inviting her to the play solve? She insulted OP's looks, not the play itself.

Re-read and try again.

This could become a big thing, you could get so many parts as a werewolf, you've got things going for you

As people always say, there's no pleasing grandparents. At least act your heart out onstage and make it the best Beast anyone's ever seen.

I feel ya my grandparents are exactly like that. I actually get a good laugh out of it you just have to learn how to live with it. and I'm pretty sure they were joking
