Today, my teenage son taught my five-year-old daughter how to fake her own death. I walked into the kitchen today to find her lying still on the floor, covered in ketchup. She laughed when I began to scream. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I felt something crack on my head. My 6 year-old son had just smashed an egg into my hair. When I asked why, he said, "Mom does it for TikTok." This is how I found out that my wife has been "pranking" him for likes, and thinks it's hilarious. FML
Today, my sister and I got into a fight. I came home to find everything in my room covered in ketchup. FML
Today, my five-year-old daughter told me she was going to throw up. I told her to rush to the bathroom. I followed her a few seconds later, only to find her sitting on the toilet and vomiting onto the floor. FML
Today, my 10-year-old son told my 5-year-old daughter that we're a ghost family, and told her to run through our glass door to see for herself. She believed it, ran straight into the door, and ended up having to be taken to hospital. FML
Today, I woke up to my 5-year-old son covering my nose and mouth with his hand and complaining, "Noooo, you need to die now." FML
Today, I pretended to have a heart attack so my baby sister would know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she drank my soda instead of helping me. FML
Today, I found out that my 4-year-old son is truly convinced that I am a ghost. He also thinks that I died from burning, "because of your face". FML
Today, I accused my son of faking being sick. He then blew chunks all over me. FML
Today, I found my 6 year-old daughter upstairs, lying on the floor with scissors. She was giving, "the carpet a haircut." FML
Today, my daughter was acting strange. When she wasn’t muttering in some strange language, she was talking about invisible people coming to get me. Terrified, I called my boyfriend. Turns out he taught her that as a prank. He knows I’m afraid of anything supernatural. FML

Wait until he teaches her how to fake an ******. Oh the calls you'll get from school and/or daycare!

Come on, dude. They're siblings and the kid is 5.

I'd never teach my younger sister to fake an ****** hahaha

25) I feel like it's a lot difference. For one, I am going to assume that Doc's son is not 5.

It's very different, Noor. Mine doesn't involve the 5 year old at all, let alone teaching a preschooler about orgasms.

Why does this sound familiar, like from an old fml.

Stewie griffin helping Susie Swanson? Lol. You have some smart ass kids. Ground them.
panda_lou 11
Why would you ground them?
panda_lou 11
Want to thumb me down? That's fine, but at least answer the question.
ICastillo 25
Why not ground them?
panda_lou 11
Because grounding is a form of punishment. Just because you can't take a joke doesn't mean you ground your kids when they didn't actually do anything wrong.
ICastillo 25
I say ground them all!!

81- Joking around and pranking parents isn't what deserves punishment in this situation, it's the fact that a serious incident was faked. What people do when they walk into a scene like that is instant. A parents shouldn't have to second guess themselves when they see their kid hurt on the ground.

91 That's a cruel joke to play on your parents, that's why. Faking your own death is not funny, especially when a parent sees her 5 year old allegedly dead on the floor. I'd be terrified too. Thank god it was only a joke. It was in bad taste and the kids need to be disciplined for it. Faking death is one of the worst things you can do, even if you're joking.

She is 5! She was doing as she was taught. She doesn't understand what playing a joke and it being in bad taste is. Perhaps discipline the older sibling and calmly explain to your 5yr old how its wrong to pretend bad things happened?

137 - She doesn't know any better. That's why you punish her so she knows never to do it again. That's how you learn from your mistakes. Would you be ok if your kid was lying lifeless on the floor, and your heart dropped in to your stomach, only to find him/her laughing a few seconds after nearly going into shock? I know I wouldn't be okay with that.
panda_lou 11
Hahaha! I did something similar once. My cousins wife, well girlfriend at the time, was baby sitting us and she left to go to the store. So we turned off the lights, cracked the front door, dropped theater blood in trails and left bloody foot prints leading out of the house. Then I laid down and did my best blank stare. Hahahaha you should have seen her face!!

Classic.

Wow, that's so mean it's brilliant.

Great babysitter!

This reminds me of that "Dumb and Dumber" scene with the barber shave. Gotta love ketchup!(:

I wish that I had done something like this as a child. The inevitable grounding would have been worth it, haha.
license2chill 5
I would have done it regardless of the grounding, lol. I don't think a 5 year-old needs to worry about grounding anyway, it's not like they can go out alone freely anyway.
Myo_fml 20
Kids do mean stuff like that all the time. Whenever I was little, I coated up my finger in ketchup and then started screaming to make my grandmother come running.

Next time she pulls that trick, say "Oh, what a relief! I wanted to abort that one anyways." I doubt she'll screw with you after that.
SoultheWolf 19
She's only five, she probably doesn't know what abortion is.
perdix 31
#41, I know, then when the little joker goes and finds out, that'll really screw her up. Sometimes pranks backfire hard!

While I love a good prank as much as the next one, I think that might be going a bit far. God knows what hearing that would do to a 5 year old....
poccocurantes 7
it's a " time release" joke. One day the daughter is reading something and suddenly a light comes on and she mutters, "Thats f'd up!"
SerpentBoy 8
I'm with Perdix on this one.. In the world of pranks who's to say what's to cruel.. Nobody has that power. Nobody.

Did you fake grounded your teenage son?
ecope1989 3
Not funny. /: I could only imagine what was going through your head.

Am I the only one who agrees with #31? thinking your daughter is dead must be the most horrific thing ever, sure OP will get over it, but the first shock will last quite a while and make OP feel rather horrible, if I saw anyone lying seemingly dead on the floor I would definitely freak out too.
