Today, I was talking to my grandma and I mentioned the fact that tomatoes are technically fruit. It's been an hour and she's still yelling, accusing me of lying to her. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ate fruit for a snack before I left to visit my mom. When I arrived, she accused me of vaping because I smelled like fruit. I'm also 27. FML
Today, my grandmother is upset I won't lie to the police for her and is now claiming that I'm involved in the Mafia. FML
Today, my grandmother threatened to kill herself with a banana. She then got angry with me when I didn't attempt to get the banana away from her. My mom punished me because I didn't take the situation seriously enough. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my senile grandma, when I told her I had to go because I had an appointment at the clinic. For some reason, she assumed I was talking about an abortion clinic, and started raging at me and calling me a murderer. FML
Today, as I have been for 10 years, I'm allergic to fruit. After an argument with my mother, she yelled, "Here, have a banana and go kill yourself!" FML
Today, my brother and I had a long argument. He believes wholeheartedly that pineapples are not actually fruits, but berries. When I showed him a google search, he accused me of "faking" it. FML
Today, I had a fight with my grandma again with whom I've been living for four years due to college hostel being below par. She blamed me for destroying her kitchen equipment by extensively cooking, especially at night. I've never placed a foot inside her kitchen since the beginning. FML
Today, my grandpa yelled at me, telling me to stop being ugly and rude. I only asked if he could cut the watermelon. FML
Today, my grandmother yet again asked where my grandfather is. She refuses to believe us when we tell her that he passed away 6 years ago. She always insists that he's out cheating on her and accuses us of lying to cover his arse. FML
Today, my grandmother tried to lecture me about discrimination. This is the same woman who lies about her grandchildren's race, and tried to convince a Jewish person that the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So either show her some proof or just let her think she's right. it can't matter that much.

Knowledge: knowing that tomatoes are a fruit. Wisdom: not putting them in fruit salad.

proof would probably have to be on the internet, and I have a feeling that this grandma will accuse OP of being an evil wizard with their magic holograms of lies if they use the internet as a resource.

How do stupid, not funny at all fmls like this make it through when a lot of the good, believable, and humorous ones don't make it through moderation :/. I doubt this actually happened

Old people don't like change.

Excuse me Sir, but it's pronounced Toe-ma-toe

No sir, I believe it is pronounced "TOW-mater". Didn't you see "Cars"?

Yeah, people will get downright red in the face over tomatoes...

Some people say toe-ma-toe some people say toe-may-toe

I would just drop the subject to come back to it later when she's not as angry and with viable proof

Reminds me of the mother on the Waterboy

Don't worry OP, at least we know you're right! Old people are starting to get behind information these days.

If it wasn't for "old" people we wouldn't even have the information we do today. Show some respect

Like it really matters. Let her think what she wants to think. Not like its really something important.

How could you do that to your poor grandma?

You are lying, granny knows everything

Seniors are very resistant to change. Just let it go, who gives a shit anyways? They still taste the same.

#9 I doubt that they were even taught that tomatoes are really part of the berry family while they school. Kinda like Pluto was a planet when I was in school, but it is now a ice ball moon or something now.
hawright 13
I know, I still have mixed feelings about losing Pluto. Don't give me a planet and then take it back. It totally kills the mnemonic device because, my very excellent mother just sent us nine ....

change nine to nachos.

It seems like all of elementary school was a lie after Pluto stopped being a planet

It was either that or add more quasi planets.

Some people have a hard time letting go of long held values and tradition. Like religion. And 50's decor. And 80's fashion. And Twilight. Plus, did you know that orange juice and tomato ketchup are legally classed as fruit - one of your 5 a day, even if it only has a fraction of the nutrition that the actual fruit has?
Osito2011 9
Just to let you know, the food pyramid change and the daily value has to.

Me going a day without orange juice makes for a very bad one, indeed.
