Today, it was my grandfather's burial. As the family was about to leave, a great aunt came up to my skinny, tall and pretty cousin and told her, "Stay beautiful and kind." Then, she walked to me and said, "And you, Stay kind." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML
Today, I went to my grandfather's funeral. As I stood there, bawling my eyes out, my aunt came over and put her arm around me. She leaned her head close to mine. I assumed she was going to say something comforting. Instead she asked where I'd bought my shoes from. FML
Today, my aunt's last words to me were, "Don't be an idiot". FML
Today, I was at lunch with my grandpa and my sister. My grandpa looks over at my sister and says, "Wow. You're so beautiful." Right after, he turns to me and says, "And you have a nice coat." FML
Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML
Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML
Today, after my cousin recently died, my aunt basically told me that I shouldn't be sad, because we fought. FML
Today, I asked my grandmother what she looked like when she was young. She casually replied, "I was ugly, sweetie. Just like you." FML
Today, I met my cousin after two years. She got really tall and skinny, like a model. I joked saying, "You've grown and gotten slim, and I've stayed the same and have gotten fat." I expected some sort of disagreement. Instead, she looked me up and down, frowned, and gave me a long, sympathetic hug. FML
Today, my grandpa pointed me out to one of his friends, saying, "Yeah, she's the ugly one." FML

Your grandpa dies, and you're FMLing about how your greataunt thinks your cousin is prettier than you? Wow... Just... wow.

I would've slapped her. That's just not nice.

"When grandfather dies, life will be strange. When grandfather dies, my whole world will change. When grandfather dies, I'll scream and I'll yell, 'Cause I'll be f***in rich as hell."

Give her a huge break. Her brother just died. People say and do strange and hurtful things when they are in shock and grieving. Unless this has been her personality prior to this, do your best to disregard it. If this is how she's always been, surely her comments were no surprise.

That doesn't give her the green light to be hurtful to someone she supposedly loves. The OP was hurting, too. Auntie sounds like a miserable old ****.

She should have said to you, "Stay. . . sit . . . who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?" thrown a stick and yelled, "Fetch!"

Old people are hilarious. They can say whatever they want and they don't care.

Maybe she meant you're already beautiful enough?

Ah well. You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, you can even pick your friend's nose, but you can't pick your relatives. Don't worry about it.

These FML's about appearance are always a little strange. It's hard to know what to make of that story when we don't know what the OP looks like.

Yeah, plus, why would it matter if an aunt doesn't think you're pretty? She wasn't exactly a potentional partner anyway.

Hahah :) She just needed to tell your cousin that so she wouldn't forget... ?? She knows you'll remember or she doesn't fear you'll get ugly..? idk

The old person's last ditch advice. Her great aunt orders others to stay kind, because she can't do that to herself. To stay kind, she would have to BECOME kind, first. Don't take it seriously, she's merely jealous, sensing that her time is coming. Beauty is an adjustable thing, whilst youth is not.
