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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

by now, you'd take all this down in writing and in digital video to show him what an idiot the son was as a 12 year old when the son is older. teach the son a life lesson by reminding him of past mistakes. clearly, he's in no mood to learn now since he's too busy playing air guitar

Blondes aren't all dumb. People who pay £20 for an air guitar and those who stereotype are dumb.

You do know that £20 =/= $20, right? £20 is $32.75.

Ah, sorry. I rarely have to type $, so currency for me is nearly always shift+3 (£). Oops. The fact that it's over £30 makes it worse. You could buy a few-months-released computer game for that money.

do the math again it's £12.22 the guy above converted £20 to $
