Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my daughter's school called to inform me that I needed to bring her some sneakers. Not feeling like driving the 15 minutes to her school, I told them I was away from town. Then I realized I was on my house phone. FML
Today, I had to go along with my mom to meet some of her old friends from high school. When they asked her about how her life was going, she said she was married, always traveling, no kids, and introduced me as the neighbor's kid she babysits. FML
Today, I went to pick up my daughter from school. The secretary said that my husband had already picked her up two hours ago. I don't have a husband. He left while I was pregnant with her 6 years ago. The secretary said “no one told her” she had to check ID’s before releasing a child for early dismissal. FML
Today, one of my friends made it to school. He has been sick recently, missing days out of the week. When I saw him, I greeted him with, "Were you dying yesterday?" Apparently he wasn't, but his grandmother really did. FML
Today, it was my daughter's birthday. I didn't know I had a daughter. FML
Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML
Today, our little family business was asked to do a presentation at my daughter's school. When we got there and I saw her, I waved to her happily but she totally blanked me, plus my super strict mom smacked me on the back of the head for embarrassing her by not acting professionally while I was technically working. FML
Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML
Today, I was doing my job and trying to teach a lazy bunch of 16-year-olds. A girl entered the room just 15 minutes before class ended, so I snapped, "Someone had better have died for you to be this late!" She immediately burst into tears. Turns out, someone had. FML
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm trying to picture the look on the teachers face.

I think that as part of her punishment, the daughter should have to continue those "extra responsibilities" around the house - except they should be genuine household responsibilities: cooking, cleaning, laundry, yard work, etc.

As somebody who has gone through the loss of a parent recently(almost seven months). I was in high school when it happened (college now), teachers were great but it was LEGIT. What would possess somebody to lie about death?! I would make her do the "extra responsibilities" around the house and go to school. I had somebody lie about somebody being on death' bed recently, they won't do it again because needless to say I was pissed.

What a crafty daughter you have there. Although it probably would have worked out better if she'd chosen a less flawed approach. Was she counting on no one noticing a supposed zombie walking around?

Nowadays parents don't discipline their kids, let alone "hurt" them anymore. Children services will be there faster then a fly on crap. Or the child will fight back. New generation doesn't know what a good ass whooping' is. They'd have to google it. No one disciplines their children anymore. They're either afraid to , or just plain lazy. TRUE STORY.

I'm wondering how the teacher reacted when she saw that OP was alive. I don't get why people will kill off parents to not do something.

Bad on the daughter but not surprising. How can you tell when a teenager is lying? Their lips are moving...:-)

lol OP. My brother did something similar to this with my mother. Parent teacher conference came along and my mother was asked how far along she was with her new edition. Confused, my mother asked what the teacher was talking about. Apparently my brother lied and told the teacher my mother was pregnant and needed extra help from him until "Mackenzie" came. 0.o haha, kids are too funny with their imaginations & lies.
