Today, my twelve year-old son thought it would be a good idea to relentlessly shoot the mail truck with a paintball gun in front of all the neighbors. FML
NYmets456 tells us more.
Just so you know, everything has worked out fine. The mailman was pretty nice about it. He had to wash off the back of the truck, and pay a little money to help fix it.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Shouldn't his parent discipline him? Oh wait........ YOU'RE the parent!

If your son hasn't already been informed, maybe now would be a good time to let him know... On August 2, 1968, assault on a mail carrier became a federal crime in the United States. I hope your mailman has a sense of humor or your son could be in big trouble. We were all stupid kids once. Use this opportunity to help scare him smart! Good luck!!!

34, if he shoots himself in the crotch, he does not deserve to be in the genepool anyway, so no foul. :)

Open hand to the back of the head? Take the paintball gun away? Be a parent and discipline your child? Three choices. And I think you're gonna need all of them.

His punishment: only allowing him to be a mailman when he grows up.

Yes, but this fml isn't some hypothetical "what if he shoots something he shouldn't" situation. He DID shoot something- some poor guy just trying to do his job. At the very least, his truck needs to be cleaned, maybe even repainted. There was harm and foul.
