Today, I went shopping with my mom. I went into my department and tried on some clothes. After a few minutes, there is an announcement that a child has gone missing. Staff are searching the store. I see my mom and she hugs me in tears and yells, "I found her!" I'm almost 17. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went shopping with my parents. Halfway through, I got separated from them and tried to call them only to find out my cell phone battery was flat. A few minutes later, an announcement was made for a lost child. It was by my parents. I'm 36. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Winn-Dixie. I told her I was going to a different isle 5 minutes later I hear my name on the intercom to go to the front of the store. As I go I see my mom crying, she comes and hugs me and tells me she thought I was lost. Im 22, I had my cell phone, and I drove there. FML
Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML
Today, a crying kid was brought to my attention by a customer. He was so upset from losing his mom that he couldn't say his or his mom's name. I took him around the store asking him to point out his mom. Once we'd found her she told me, "I was hiding from my kid to test his independence." FML
Today, while shopping, I saw a little girl and her mom. The girl was pouting so I tried to cheer her up by asking her if she was a princess, because she was so pretty. She smiled but her mom looked at me with disgust and told me to, "Get lost, pedo." I'm a 17-year-old girl. FML
Today, I was in a store with my mom. I wandered off, then walked around looking for her. I spotted her, and decided to put on a ski mask to give her a scare for a laugh. I hid around a corner and yelled "BOO!" when I saw her. It wasn't my mom, and I'm now banned from that store. FML
Today, I went to the store with my 4-year-old daughter. While I was trying to change into tight jeans, which weren't completely on, my daughter opened the curtain and yelled, "It's the Mommy Show!" Everyone there heard her and saw me. FML
Today, I was at the mall and I saw a kid crying. I asked her "What's wrong sweetie, are you lost?" She ran away screaming "Help me!" I ended up having to explain to a dumb mall cop that I'm not a perv. FML
Today, I caught and kicked a shoplifter out of my store. The shoplifter was my mom. FML
Today, I went into my Moms room to look for a t-shirt. I went into her drawer and behind all of her clothes was a cell phone. Not only did I not find the t-shirt, I also found out my Mom is cheating on my Dad with someone from work and now I have to pretend like I don't know. I work there too. FML

yeah and a 5 year old can definitely write an FML.

Just because you care about your kids doesn't mean you have the right to lose your mind. I used to disappear all the time but only because I never realized I was just walking off. It would be nice if you told your mother where you were going though, OP. Abductions happen to 16 year olds as well.

what does OP stand for?

OP= Original Poster
Epikouros 32
OP = Outpatient, according to the Oxford Dictionary of Abbreviations. That's how we call be people whose FML has been approved. Even if it's the umpteenth FML about the same situation.

Moms worry it's what they do, did u tell her where u were going? Did u have a cell phone that she could have called. People are kidnapped all the time, at all ages. But that might be a little bit if an overreaction on her part.

Being almost 17 means your still 16, which means your still a minor, which means your a child.

#144 Well she still is a minor, but not because you're age is close to 16. You can say she's almost just 16, but you can say she's almost 18.

Many parents have trouble seeing their "baby" as an adult. At 20 years old, I had a major surgery and stayed at my dad's for a couple days, because I couldn't go up and down my stairs. On my way home from the hospital, my dad sent me a text sayin, "don't worry, baby girl; Daddy be home in a lil bit to tuck his princess in." Your situation may have been embarrassing, but there may come a time when your mother is no longer on this earth. You might as well appreciate her love and care while you're both alive.
