Today, my little sister started freaking out, because she was playing with some white-out eraser and got some on her finger. She started crying inconsolably because she thought her entire finger was going to disappear. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my little sister was playing with her building blocks. All of a sudden, she began to cry and held her finger out to me. Assuming she had hurt it, I kissed it better, and tasted something odd on my lips. Turns out she wasn't hurt, she was crying because she had touched cat vomit. FML
Today, because I wouldn’t let my little sister have any more cookies, she snuck into my room while I was sleeping and superglued my lips together. FML
Today, my little sister put on some black eyeliner on my eyes. About half an hour later, my eyes started to hurt. Eyeliner never hurt for me; so I went to the bathroom to check it out. My sister wasn't using eyeliner. It was a black watercolor pencil. Now I have black bits inside my eyes. FML
Today, my sister thought it would be funny to place a cardboard cut-out of a person at the foot of my bed. I woke up, saw the cut-out from the corner of my eye, fell out of bed, landed on my hand wrong, and broke two fingers. She got it all on video. FML
Today, my mom sat on a pencil and started bleeding. She then made me clean the wound on her butt and put ointment on it. FML
Today, my girlfriend helped me apply liquid bandaid over an open wound. Unfortunately, she grabbed the liquid wart remover instead. FML
Today, while showering, I pulled on my white exfoliating gloves ready to wash my face. As I was about to use them, a dark stain caught my eye so I sniffed the mark, only to discover it was poop. After further investigation, I found out my younger sister had been wearing them and "experimenting". FML
Today, I accidentally sat on my sister's imaginary monkey. She then stabbed me with a pencil. I still can't get the piece of graphite out of my hand. FML
Today, as I peeled a now soggy Band-Aid off my finger, I discovered that in the dim light of yesterday evening, I had, with great anxiety, wrapped it around the wrong finger. FML
Today, to avoid walking on a thumbtack that had fallen on the floor, my little sister took a red sharpie to the carpet and drew a circle around it, "so that way, everyone will see it." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you play along?

You should do that trick where your thumb disappears from one hand and say it's already starting to happen to you because you got it on your thumb also.

If I were OP, I would convince the whole family to play along.

While I'm all for having a good laugh, I don't think putting a kid that young under that kind of stress is the best way to go. That's how people develop phobias of Wite-Out.

My family and I once pretended that my 5 year old niece disappeared from existence. We eventually felt bad for her after she started to worry too much, and cut it off.

Holy **** this isn't the parenting corner 17 and besides I don't think the child would develop a phobia over a ******* joke

"Oh no!! :O where is your finger? I don't see it!" Haha priceless

That will make for a great story to pester her with when she gets older.

I agree, this is one of the privileges of being an older sibling. My older sister tells a story that one day she was messing with me as a child, and in a rage, I said "I can't wait to get bigger, 'cuz when we're the same age you can't mess with me anymore!" I have since learned, however, once someone is older than you, they stay older than you instead of "waiting" for you to catch up.

Maybe I'm just a bad brother, but I'd go along with it and get the rest of my family in on it. :3

My sister tricked me into thinking the vacuum cleaner was an alligator and would eat me alive if it came too close to me. I was 4. Yeah. Siblings are awful.

When I was 4, my sister tricked me into thinking the vacuum cleaner was an alligator. I thought I would die if I got too close. Yeah. Siblings can be mean for sure

I don't know why that went twice^ I'm sorry!
glabberfasted 16
Because you posted twice? That's clearly 2 differently written comments haha
thatguynamedsky 32
I looks like she posted one and then another because the first one didn't show up :p
greeneyebeauty9 28
Aw, in my opinion that's kind of cute. depending on how old she is.
cakefete2 31
Good point. It's adorable at 4. Not so much at 14. You see, adorability and age are inversely proportionate one to the other... Where did this lab coat and chemistry set come from?!

You're a mental scientist now, Cake. This is your destiny.
