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

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.

I thought it was funny too, initially.

Even when I was 5, I knew jumping on animals (alive or dead) was wrong. That boy ain't right in his head.

I'd smack the shit outta him if I were you.

I completely agree with you.

Geez, such harshness toward a little kid! The boy was/is FIVE, not fifteen. Not saying that excuses his actions by any means, and he definitely should've been taught both manners and kindness toward animals, but he hasn't quite learned cause-and-effect and he doesn't understand death yet. So while this sucks, and while the boy should be taught a lesson from this, we shouldn't get the lynch mob together just yet!

5 is old enough to understand. My niece is 5 and she would never do that.

A 5 year old should be old enough to understand that jumping on a small animal will kill it, or at least give it a big owwie. Perhaps a 5 MONTH old has the excuse of not understanding. I've seen my share of animal cruelty from sociopathic little ***** at that age, and it ******* traumatized me then. There ain't no way in hell a 5 year old child has the excuse of being too naive to understand this concept. He's clearly not bright enough to understand the difference between video games and real life, and thus should be kept far away from them, lest he develop anymore retarded ideas.

Yes, because we should take advice from someone who calls five year olds "sociopathic little *****." To prove my point, I did some research online on a psychology website. I tried to post the link but it got deleted so I don't think FML will let me. At any rate, it clearly said that children ages 3-5 have difficulty distinguishing fantasy (video games) from reality (turtles in the backyard). Additionally, it said that hopping (ahem) is an activity that children in these age groups enjoy. Also, keep in mind that while a child may have learned how to act around cats and dogs, but more exotic pets (like turtles) might be foreign to them. Or they may have been told that the turtle has a very hard shell (true) and subsequently think that hopping on the turtle wouldn't hurt it (not true). I stand by what I said. The child should be taught a lesson from this, and his ignorance doesn't excuse what he did. But I can understand why he might think that way.

Actually, I babysit part time for kids while going to school part time. They play video games, they also recently got a pet lizard, none of these children ages 3, 5 and 8 tried to harm their pet. They didn't even need to be told not to "hurt it" because they knew. Kids need to distinguish between fantasy and reality. I'm sorry if it sounds mean, but at five years old, you should know better. Unless of course you are either messed up In the head, or the parents are doing a horrible job raising you, and should be spayed and neutered so similar things don't happen again. 5 year olds can be sociopaths. I'm not saying this kid is, I'm just saying it's happened before.

Personally, I like more than I like 5 year olds. They're cuter, cleaner and quieter.

Teach him that there is no just thing as 1-ups. :)

Why are there so many morons going like "he's too young to realize it was wrong"? My kid isn't even 2 years old yet, and we have already successfully taught him to be nice to animals. Also, if he's "too young" to realize it's wrong to jump on top of pets, he's definately too young to play Mario.

I agree whole hearty with you kids shoul know by being taught and somewhat instinctively not to do these kind of things to animals at two if not younger. This is to protect animals and them. Suppose he had done that to napping dog. Then he might have learned his lesson if it had been a dog and he received a bite for his efforts. Come on people kids know this stuff. They are not the morons you are making them out to be.

Next time just put spikes on its back, then he won't wanna jump on it
