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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

I hope the kid is young, otherwise he's a stupid shite.

I always felt bad for Wile E Coyote because he never ever caught the road runner. His life must have been very depressing and all for the sake for our humour. I'll always have the biggest respect for him. :(

How old is he? Sir, I believe you're depriving a village of an idiot.

Are we looking at a future exterminator here?

17 - Those aren't flies, those are bees, but I completely sympathize. Life is hard for those of us who live like Winnie the Pooh. **** bitches, get honey.

8/NoorFML - My experiance with TNT is the shows are too dramatic to be effective. USA seems more appropriate to me, with NCIS and NCIS: LA; those ladies and gents are some real straight shooters. Hell, Gibbs would probably smack Tony for missing on the first try and then smack the fly for distrubing the peace. If nothing else, Psych can tell where the fly is going to be next and cut him down with some cutting puns.

I tried that once, luckily for me it was a toy though.

When you are trying to nail something, there are two tools to choose from; a hammer or a condom. I'm happy the kid chose the hammer in this circumstance. Of course, his next tool of choice should be a putty knife to use with spakle. He should probably start with the holes so the Fly's family can't come out and get him with the hammer. I must say, I'm glad I was not a fly on the wall when that went down. Knowing my luck I'd be laughing so hard I would lose grip and fall and probably get stepped on.
