Today, my turtle, who had a little portion of the garden all to herself, died. My 5-year-old nephew wanted to "be like Mario" by jumping on her. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 5 year old fish died. As I was flushing him, he started swimming again. FML
Today, I was babysitting my little cousin when we decided to go outside and have a "treasure hunt" in the backyard. The first thing we found? The bones of her pet dog who had passed away four years ago. FML
Today, my pet bunny died. My little sister is distraught and practically suicidal, because apparently she playfully pointed a wand at it a few days ago and said, "Avada kedavra!" She's absolutely convinced that she killed it. FML
Today, our family cat died. He had a disease (forget the name). My sister brought home a bunny, and I thought nothing of it until I tried to make the cat and the bunny friends. Sadly, it triggered his illness from stress, and he tragically passed away 4 days later. I still believe it's my fault; everyone says otherwise. FML
Today, I pulled off the road to help a turtle cross it. Before I could get out of my car a dump truck ran over the turtle, splattering my car with turtle guts and bits of shell. FML
Today, my 9 year-old little sister is coming back to town with the rest of my family. She specifically asked me to feed her fish. I totally forgot until she called me 10 minutes ago to tell me she was on her way home and couldn't wait to see her fishie. He's dead. FML
Today, I told my daughter that we were going to the beach. Today, my daughter also tried to dig up our deceased dog, who we buried in our back yard last week, so he could come along. FML
Today, I was mowing my lawn when I lost control along our lawn borders and ran over one of my neighbor’s many garden gnomes. It exploded into a pile of ceramic. I soon discovered it was a limited edition collector's item when the neighbor came out just in time to see me turning her prized lawn decoration into shards. FML
Today, my cat died. But, before he could bite the dust, he left a goodbye present on my bed: a decapitated baby rabbit. FML
Today, my dog showed me her latest kill. Too bad it was the stuffed animals my dead grandmother had given me as a child that had a lot of sentimental value to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Actually, it didn't die. It escaped in time and left another turtle in its place, for it was a ninja. And a mutant. And a teenager.

That sucks, OP. Someone better teach him that animals are actually living, breathing beings, just like him. The sooner the better. :|

OMG I would have beat the shit out of that kid. Well not literally but he would have gotten his butt popped a few times. That is so wrong and sad! I had a pet turtle and she died of old age, but it was still sad. The fact that this stupid kid jumped on it intentionally because of a video game? Another example of bad parenting and why some people shouldn't breed - they don't watch their kids and don't teach them anything. They let them get away with everything because they don't want to get slapped with a child abuse lawsuit. I am so sorry about your turtle OP, I hope you spank the brat and tell his parents. And if they don't do something, you should.

the kid didnt know! he's 5! kids make mistakes, im not saying it's right that he jumped on the turtle, but that doesn't mean that the kid has bad parents! Jesus, he's 5 years old, yes it was wrong, but just tell him not to do that again, maybe give a little tap on the bum and move on from it, not what you're saying to do.

even my 3 year old cousin knows that jumping on an animal is bad...

Yes, jumping on animals is bad. im not saying that the kid is innocent, cause he's not, but what this person is saying isn't right. it's not the parents fault, for one, and another, the kid shouldnt be "beaten". just make the kid have a time-out or something.

FYL, OP - your nephew is a brat and needs some serious discipline. Though if your "turtle" lived in the garden it was actually a tortoise. Turtles are marine reptiles, meaning they live in water and generally only come onto land to lay their eggs. Tortoises are land reptiles, and terrapins are happy either way - which is why they always look like they're smiling :) Oh, and 11, love the Balotelli reference :) I guess we should be glad the kid wasn't near any fireworks...
