Today, my 7 year old daughter decided to use my laptop without my permission. She accidentally got SpaghettiOs on the screen, then used the hard side of a sponge, filled with soapy water, to scrub both the keyboard and screen of my laptop to clean it off so Mommy wouldn't know. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 3 year old daughter decided to put black nail polish over the webcam lens on my laptop because "It wasn't all black, so I decided to fix it." FML
Today, I received my new laptop in the mail and put it on the kitchen counter, where my family charges all our electronics. My mom then decided to make soup and spilt chicken broth all over my new laptop before I even got the chance to turn it on. FML
Today, my friend spilt orange juice all over my iPad. She then went ahead to clean it off by rinsing it with water. FML
Today, I let my mother use my computer for school work. Later that day my mom asks me what's wrong with the computer. I look at it, only seeing a "Welcome to Windows XP" screen. She said that she saw a blue screen and pressed L and C when it asked her to. My mom managed to clear my hard drive. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and drink a tall glass of water whilst doing my assignment that is due in three days. I managed to spill the entire glass over my laptop. I flipped it over and used a hairdryer to dry it off. While doing that, I managed to melt my keyboard. FML
Today, I managed to accidentally drop an entire cake on my laptop's keyboard. There's so much frosting stuck under the keys, I have no idea how I'm going to clean it out. FML
Today, I was washing dishes while my 2-year-old was napping… or so I thought. When I finished and went to check on her, I found she'd taken off her diaper and smeared poop all over the carpet. She must have been up a while because it was everywhere. I spent the next hour scrubbing. FML
Today, my 10-year-old "helped" me by “fixing” the parental controls on the iPad. I didn’t ask for help. Now it won’t let me access email, news, or even Google, but it will let me watch 47 hours of baby cartoons. I've been locked out of my own device by someone who can’t eat spaghetti without ruining a shirt. FML
Today, after a night of back pain, fatigue, and wrestling with my crying, screaming son, who couldn’t sleep, I woke up to find my laptop wouldn’t power on because my daughter spilled ice cream on it. I need my laptop for my new job. FML
Today, I babysat my niece and thought a quick shower would be fine. I left her watching cartoons with a blanket and returned to find she’d used washable paints on the carpet and her hands, leaving tiny colorful footprints to the couch. Her proud smile made me forgive the mess, but I spent the evening scrubbing. FML

I guess you shouldn't have left it in her reach, or her unattended with it, if she couldn't be trusted to be obey you. I hope you're teaching her a lesson about honesty and obedience here! That said, sorry about your laptop. :/

Actually, I think you're the complete moron. This kid is seven. All she did was try to clean up her mess, in which we're all taught to do. So she hasn't been told water ruins electronics, WOAH NO WAY! Probably because she's seven years old. I hope someone uses soap, water, and the rough side of the sponge on your brain. Think before you type.

Dude, 7 year olds for the most part know that stuff. If she was 4 or 5 it'd be somewhat justified. But at 7....... wow

Yahhh majority of 7/8/9 year olds these days know how to use a computer. My cousin could use a computer and read Harry Potter by the time he was like, 8

Even if they don't know how to use a computer, they should know water+electronics = bad things .

This doesn't mean that the child is stupid. Children get scared of getting in trouble for doing something wrong. So to them, the logical idea is to try to fix what they did wrong. She did what was to her the most logical choice- something got dirty, so you clean it. While children may know that you shouldn't spill your drink on something, they don't necessarily connect the fact that the problem is electronics + liquid. She doesn't understand that cleaning a spill on the computer not dealt with the same way as most spills are. Usually mom or dad just gets a sponge and cleans it up, which means to her, that is the way she knows to be appropriate to deal with a spill. *shrug* Yes she messed up, no she's not a retard. OP- I'm sorry about your computer. But moreso, I'm sorry that so many people are calling your child an idiot and a retard who should be slapped. I challenge anyone to prove to me they never did anything stupid as a kid. It's part of being a kid.

I think Mommy knows.

Yes, I got scared of being in trouble. But the thing is, I never made the trouble worse. How could you be more sorry for the OP because her/his kid is being insulted on the internet than her losing a computer that probably costed at least 300$? I never did anything that retarded as a kid over the age of 5. By the age of 7 I knew there'd be a good chance I'd die if I mixed water with electricity.

Lmfao. NO! I can't believe you're a Mac person. Ugh. However, your extensive knowledge of Latin so well makes up for it. *drools*
