Today, my 12 year old son came home from school and informed me that he bought an air guitar for $20. He honestly thinks this is a good price. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, my son took some of my underwear to school. What's worse is he sold it to his classmate for $10. FML
Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML
Today, my 6 year-old told me that he was stealing the fan I just bought. I told him he could have it for $25. He said, "What, you think I’m made of money?" My response was, "Well, you think I’m made of money." He replied, "Isn’t that what MOM stands for?" FML
Today, after creating a swear jar for my son, I came back to find a $20 bill in it and him saying, "How much does that buy?" FML
Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML
Today, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML
Today, as my 12-hour shift was about to finish, a young boy came in wanting to buy a $200 gaming device. His mom said he was purchasing it with his own money, which I found admirable. That is, until he took his piggy bank out of his backpack. FML
Today, months after buying my first bass guitar and taking bass lessons using my own money, I realized that my parents refused to buy me an instrument, claiming that I sucked at it. What actually happened is that they didn't feel like paying for some "teenage bullshit." FML
Today, I found out my 10 year-old step-brother has an obsession with fire, after he burnt all the belongings in my room, including a £600 guitar. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

he will need an air amp for that. air guitar is no good without an amp. I also give air guitar lessons. $20 a lesson. bit dear but I'll have him playing like a pro in 2 lessons. alternatively if he has his receipt you could get a refund

nate_msm 0
80 win. hate when people use musical terms not knowing what they really mean. I had some one once say "I bought a new sax apparently it has a very allegro tones and plays like vibrato" hmmm fail
dudeitsdanny 10
I twitched at their use of "tempo" and at the post above, and that's considering I know little about saxophones. I wanna know what the "etc" stands for now, haha. OP- Tell him to play it for you and either say it sounds terrible and he needs his money back, or tell him he sucks at it and should give up on his air rockstar dreams while he's still young. Or borrow it and smash it.
valalvax 13
dont know if you don't know what etc means or if you were wondering what else he would say but etc stands for etcetera and it means "and so on" basically it means the list could go on
Jesus_Christ69 0
basically a literary term of blah blah blah blah blah
dudeitsdanny 10
Obviously I meant what he used "etc" instead of. Brain cells: Use them, don't lose them.

64-Yes, so we can have another brainless kid playing games saying 'I ****** your mom!' or 'You stupid fag!' on games. How about she buys him something educational instead of garbage like CoD. Or if not, at least something that's bot a shit game.
