Today, I was handing candy to a little boy who was trick or treating by himself. He was small enough to grab the candy and run past me into my house. I've been searching my house for two hours and still can't find him. I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to tell all the trick-or-treaters that I'd run out of candy. I'd actually bought about $50 worth of candy, but managed to eat all of it by myself, sitting alone in my apartment, exactly like last year. FML
Today, I bought fifteen bags of candy for the trick-or-treaters. I sat outside with a bowl of candy the whole night. Only one person came. FML
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I dressed up like a pirate, dressed my dog as a parrot and bought $30 worth of candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters. I waited by the door for 3 hours. Not one kid came. FML
Today, while up in my room getting ready to go out, I thought I heard some trick or treaters knocking on the door. I ignored them because I didn't have any candy. The knocking got louder and longer. I walked downstairs, and noticed that the living room ceiling was falling down onto the floor. FML
Today, when I went to pick my kid up from daycare, I found out that he had run away. The rest of my afternoon consisted of me screaming his name, looking for him. I then returned to the daycare center. He thought it would be funny if he hid in the trash. FML
Today, a kid came Trick-or-Treating at my house. When I told her it was still one more day until Halloween, and that I didn't have any candy, she wound-up her fist, punched me in the groin, and ran off laughing. FML
Today, a kid came trick or treating to my house. When I told him Halloween was nearly two weeks ago, his reaction was to savagely kick me in the shin and run off screaming obscenities. This is the same kid who broke down in tears when I gave him candy on the real Halloween. FML
Today, I was jogging, and I saw a little boy walking. Crying and all alone. Thinking that he was probably lost, I asked to him with my sweetest voice: 'Hi there, did you lose somebody?' He screamed terrified and ran away. This is the second time this has happened to me. FML
Today, I thought about how my dad went to get me a Halloween costume and hasn't come home yet. That was 11 years ago. We've moved twice since then. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would call the police. Just because you could get in trouble if the parents do and they find the missing kid in your house.

Okay, guys, let's get a few things straight. You guys are bitching, "You've had a missing child in your home and you're on FML??? WTF???" Do you not notice the date on this FML? 11/01/12. You really don't find it strange that a kid is trick or treating the day AFTER Halloween? This happened YESTERDAY. All FMLs start with "Today." The situation is probably already resolved and OP just wrote the FML that way because it either took him two hours to find the child or call the cops. Also, a person has to be missing for 24 hours before a missing person report can be filed. There is no missing person report on a kid who's been missing for just two hours. Since he was out trick or treating by himself the parents may not even be concerned that he's not back yet. Trick or treating tends to take a few hours.

"You've had a missing child in your home *for two hours* and you're on FML???" Sorry, folks. Forgot to type that part, apparently.

I was misinformed. Relax. That's the only thing that's wrong about my comment, though. People are assuming the kid is still in OP's home when it's obvious this is something that happened yesterday.

Also, I did some research on this, and when it's a missing child reported immediately, it's not a missing person report. It's an "amber alert."

You aren't accounting for differences in time zones. According to my computer, the FML was written on 10/31/2012 at 10:04pm, which would be 10/31/2012 at 11:04pm in New York where it was written. So, OP did write the FML the day it happened, and at a time that he or she was probably considering going to sleep even though there may have been a strange child hiding somewhere in the house.

I'm in the same time zone as New York. -.-

I'm annoyed with the "you're on here instead of........" comments. The OP probably did whatever before posting the FML.

I write a FML days after it happened, but still put "Today" as it is the rule.

FYI sometimes websites servers are in different time ones from the poster. So a post at 10pm on the west coast could have a 1am timestamp.

You're also forgetting how long FML's take to process. Stop acting like you know everything.
