Today, my mom wanted to send me a picture of me at graduation, saying that I looked pretty in it. It was a picture of a different girl; definitely not me. Way to go, mom. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she had some good pictures of me for my resume. She gave me her phone to look through her gallery. I found a beautiful album of photos of me and my ex. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at pictures from the beach. She goes, "That is a REALLY ugly picture of Michelle" (my cousin). The picture was of me. FML
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML
Today, my mother sent a picture that was meant for her husband. I cannot unsee what I have seen. FML
Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, my father made a post on Facebook with an old baby picture, saying how proud he was that I got into college. This would have been sweet if the baby picture was actually of me. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If the girl looks so much like you that your mom got confused, I bet she still thinks you're pretty.

You'd think that your mother would know what you look like by now.

And now FML completely turns into Facebook and YouTube by adding stupid symbols to look like Trollface and other shit. Let the apocalypse begin...

40 if you look at it closely you can see George Bush and Osama Bin Laden shaking hands. Personally I don't see it BUT that's what I heard. :) edit: so this comment should get deleted as well, please LOL

Look at the bright side OP, your mother was attempting to compliment you! It may not have worked, but it's the thought that counts :)

Wishful thinking externalized. I hate it when that happens...

How did she make that mistake? Unless you two look very similar ...

Maybe your mom made a wish to her fairy godmother to make you the prettiest girl at graduation! :) It worked, just not in the way that she expected.

so your mom was sitting far enough back to mistake what you look like AND to not hear your name being called???
