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?

I've been looking for that kind of guitar for a long time, you're son is lucky he only got it for $20 you have no idea how rare that guitar is.

I'm confused. isn't the whole purpose of air guitar the absence of an object. 1 cent would be to much.

Let me be a good Samaritan just this once. OP is saying her son believed that he had bought an invisible guitar that actually works for $20. In other words, OP's son got conned by a stupid trick.

It sounds like you need handrails for the humor impaired. I'll sell you a pair for $20.

actually they are a real thing. Walmart sells em. they are made of cardboard and have a sensor that can tell if you wave your hand in front of it. they look extremely cheap though. I'd never pay for one myself!

Just a word of advice, you should google air guitar 'cause what you just described is NOT an air guitar.

Air guitars. Not cardboard guitars.

If this is 12 year old logic, may my son skip it and go straight to 13...

What's the problem? The air guitar came with a tuner, a few picks and a case. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

at least it's not one of those annoying ass paper guitars that actually make noise.
