Today, my 6-year-old nephew opened his Christmas gift. The first words out of his mouth were, "This is cheap." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave my nephew a toy car as a gift. He opened it, looked at it for two seconds, and then spent the next hour playing with the cardboard box it came in. Apparently, I could’ve saved $20 and just bought him a box. FML
Today, it was my brother's birthday. I was short on money but got him a present anyway. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "I didn't really want this." FML
Today, the first gift I opened was from my uncle. It was $80 in clothes that I'd bought for myself a week earlier. 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 son told me the Christmas letter he wrote to Santa was a joke and he didn't want the stuff he asked for. I already bought everything. FML
Today, I carefully wrapped my nephew's birthday present so it would look perfect. He thanked me, pushed it aside, and spent the next two hours pretending the empty cardboard box was a spaceship. FML
Today, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I gave him the gift, and he started playing with the bag it came in. FML
Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML
Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You know what else is cheaper? No gift at all. See how much he likes that.

Gotta love the blunt honesty

Since the death of Steve jobs the innovation of apple has seemed to be falling off a bit and I'm starting to see other products overtake them. I mean, the iPhone 5 was a response to the s3 basically. iPhone has never answered another product before but was always the one being followed. And google is doing tablets a lot better than apple is. I have an iPod, and iPad. They are great products, don't get me wrong, I just personally feel apples spark is dimming.

#46 If I were his parent I would've kicked his ass!

Kind of amazes me that so many people think the kid is a spoiled brat and not just a precocious 6 yr old. Most 6 year olds I know don't really grasp the concept of cheap, even if they know the word.

Kids say things you wouldn't expect. Trust me, I have a 2 year old nephew that repeats EVERYTHING he hears, and we have to watch what we say.

Dang, my parents would never let me get off with saying something like that when I was little. Kids these days. :(

OMG your niece is so lucky, I'd give anything to have an iPad mini! Edit: Wrong comment was meant to reply to something completely different.

And his next words should be "No, please don't take it back to the store!"
