Today, someone popped my birthday balloon at school. Her reasoning was that she "didn't want people to know we have the same birthday." Who popped it? My identical twin sister. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, it's my birthday. I am a triplet. In my first class, everyone sang happy birthday to my sister. Her friends got her balloons too. My other sister's friends got her flowers. Everyone forgot I was their sister and all of my own friends forgot that it was my birthday. FML
Not anyone's favorite
Today, everyone at school told me to wish my brother a happy birthday. We're twins. FML
Who are you?
Today, it was my birthday. Also today, same as the past five years, my family forgot my mine and threw a party for my 5-year-old twin sisters who I share a birthday with. FML
Doppelganger
Today, I got my yearbook. My sister and I are identical twins, and we realized only my sister had a picture in it. When we asked the head of yearbook, they said they thought it was the same girl trying to get two pictures, so they put in the prettier one. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Classic blunder
Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. FML
Classic Mom
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Back to the drawing board
Today, I finished birthday shopping for my husband, my son, and a close friend, who all have birthdays within a week. I was proud of myself for being organized, until I remembered: my husband has a twin sister. FML
How could you?
Today, I got accused of ruining my girlfriend's birthday, all because I accidentally got her the same birthday present as her mother did. FML
Godammit Ursula!
Today, I found out that my sister has been telling people I’ve been dead for the last 3 months, to cover up the fact she used me to commit identity fraud. We’re identical twins. FML

Thank god brains go a long way.

I agree. Your sister seems like a moron.
evan_7899 28
Yes, i bet shes the "popular" one who won't go very far in life all the while OP will surely dart forward and leave the sister in the dust, with her ego, temporary beauty, and pettiness. Also happy birthday OP

who's giving out these birthday balloons? that seems awfully attention seeking anyway, like those chick's who come to school with a tiara and sash as if their birthday is any more special than anyone elses. ugh.

#67, 1) you do realize that OP's friends could have gotten the birthday balloon for her? 2) so people aren't allowed to celebrate their own birthdays, even if it does mean showing up in tiaras and such? Just cause they don't wear tiaras for everyone else's birthdays (that would be weird anyway) doesn't mean that they're implying that their own birthday is more special. Could you explain your logic, maybe?

on my birthday I buy those cardboard tiara things that say happy birthday and wear it all day on my bday. my fiancee bought me one and so did a classmate. so I wore one each for my bday and the next three days. not a big ego but I wore the other two since they got them for me and mine bc everyone should celebrate their own birthday. doesnt matter how it's done
cryssycakesx3 23
isn't your own birthday more import than other's?

My birthday is in August so I don't get any school celebration. I have a tiara and a "birthday girl" ribbon that I wear to my bday party. I turned 19 two months ago.

#70 #77 maybe it's a cultural thing. at my school the only people that do that are attention seeking ******; the kind who only come to school the day after their 18th to act hungover and show everyone how 'cool' they are. The kind that actually buy their own tiara and sash. THATs pathetic. and everyone hates them except their own little possy who sing happy birthday way too loudly at lunchtime to let everyone know how great friends they are. at a school of 1000 people, there's going to be about 3 birthdays a day. so birthdays aren't that special and there's only a select few attention ****** who do this and it pisses the hell out of everyone. for op if your friends bought the balloon for you fair enough, your sister was probably jealous that she has to share the attention. In which case fyl for having a twin who's an attention *****

Not dumb. It's just an independence issue. It can be worked on.

It's pretty dumb, as well. I think most people would be aware that twins almost always have the same birthday. It's definitely not too dumb to insult though. I've yet to see a stupid too stupid to insult.

Unless one born before midnight and the other after midnight, but of course this doesn't sound like the case. The whiney sister needs to grow up

Better yet just blow the candles out and when it's all dark run away with the cake

It's a phrase that indicates someone whose speechless.
fakedsincerity 32
if you're speechless, why say anything at all?

Using tumblr phrases hardly ever works on FML.

celeberate birthday on alternate years :p
domolovesyoshi 33
what? don't you mean alternate days? because you get a birthday every year so i'm not sure how this would work.
Faddyy6 17
they are twins one can celebrate one year and other one next year and so on..

Then you can tell people you're twenty when you're forty. Great idea! Nothing can go wrong, whatsoever.

Now we know who's the smarter of the two.

ComoEsJuan 24
It's a great thing that there are no other tell-tale signs that they could possibly share the same birthday! Phew! Dodged a social bullet there...

The logic it is too strong! Fall back and regroup!

She is/was jealous.

You could get revenge by popping her brain, you know if she had one.
