Today, my son tried to swat a fly with a hammer. Our apartment walls are now littered with dents and holes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after twelve straight hours of work, my fourteen year old son surprised me with a broken window and a cracked TV. He said, "I was swatting away a fly." FML
Today, I walked into my son's room only to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. FML
Today, I tried to smack a fly that was buzzing around my room. I ended up hitting the wall a little too hard, scaring my cat, who jumped up and ran under the bed, knocking over a lamp. The fly is fine. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML
Today, my wife asked our 17 year-old son to clean his room. Following up, he lied to his mom and said it was clean. After rechecking his room, he began to throw things and I returned to find holes punched in the walls. I went and patched the holes, after which he immediately kicked more holes. FML
Today, a wasp somehow got into my parents' house, so I went hunting for it with my dad. I found it and, after getting into position, took a strong swing at it with a fly swatter. Unfortunately, being very uncoordinated, I missed. You can figure out the rest. FML
Today, I was trying to swat a wasp in my bedroom. I got so frustrated that I ended up punching myself in the face. The wasp is still here, and now I look like I've been in a brawl. FML
Today, my son hit my husband's shop-vac while pulling into the garage too fast. He was grounded for 3 days. Later, while trying to demonstrate how to park safely, I hit my husband in his happy sacks with the mirror. FML
Today, I put up one of those hanging fly catchers in my room due to the unsettling amount of flies in the house. I remarked how stupid flies were to land on them. Within an hour, I got up and walked straight into it. FML
Today, I ruined my computer screen trying to kill a fly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your son is an idiot.

If he had actually managed to kill it I would be impressed. I can barely get those things with a fly swatter

Because hospital bills can be very expensive.

You must be joking. If not, let me tell you this: hitting people with HAMMERS is not a way to discipline your kid. That's assult, and can land your kid in a hospital or just kill him.

I myself find a bazooka to be the best choice for dealing with insects.

You should be proud, OP :P! If a fly was buzzing around for hours and I couldn't get it, no matter how hard I tried, I'd probably turn to a hammer out of frustration, too x)

Where I live, some of the flies actually attack you.

Am I the only one who sees the potential of this future carpenter?

Or a homewrecker that's something anyone can be good at ;D
fabulosogurlee 7
For him to be a home wrecker you have to find a married woman who would leave her husband for this genius... So I'm not sure if he is cut out to be one of those. That's okay though because not everyone can be great at two things

Necessity is the mother of invention. In this case, I suspect poor judgement was the father.

Is he old enough to help pay for damages?
