Today, we had a new babysitter coming over to the house and my kids were a bit anxious, so I asked her to send me a message telling me how it went. At around 10, I received a message saying, “it’s going alright. Both kids are in bed.” I have three children. FML

The long game
Today, my gay best friend slept over, as he has many times during the past three years of our friendship. This time, however, he confessed to me that he's only pretended to be gay to get closer to me because he's in love with me. I've allowed my stalker to sleep in my house and in my bed for three years.

Today, my boss took back my week off because he wants to take a spontaneous Caribbean vacation with his wife, which is "clearly more important" than what I was going to do. I needed that time off so I could be with my Dad in hospice. FML
Today, my cat thanked me for buying her a new litterbox by peeing in all of my plants. FML
Today, while volunteering to feed the homeless, one of them asked me to follow him to his car where he had a knife and bottle so he could "bottle up my blood". FML
Today, I saw a kid taking a dump next to my lawn. The good news: his mother picked up the poop to discard it. The bad news: she put it in my mailbox. I now have a pile of smelly brownish tissue-wrapped goo baking under the hot sun inside my mailbox. FML
Joyful news!
Today, I learned that I'm expecting twins. A boy and a girl. My husband, upon finding out about this, immediately suggested that we give them Star Wars names. But not Luke and Leia. Oh no. He wants to name them Darth and Vayda. And he is absolutely serious about this. FML
Today, I brought a fluorescent tube to the store to make sure I got the correct replacement. Trying to charm the sexy cashier, I waved the tube in the air, saying "I need a new light sabre, there is no force left in this one and the Empire is attacking." Turns out she'd never heard of Star Wars. FML
Today, I understand the finer points of the government in Star Wars better than I understand the U.S. government. FML
Today, I gave my wife a $900 necklace as a special Christmas gift. She gave me a set of Star Wars pajamas. As it turns out, I was more excited to wear my gift than she was to wear hers. FML
Wars of the Stars
Today, I found out that my uncle does not like my step-daughter because she likes Star Wars. He stated that Star Trek was better, and went on to verbally attack a 6-year-old. FML
Today, we had a get together for work at a restaurant I've never heard of. After spending all week trying to make a good impression on my new boss and co-workers, I showed up in a pair of shorts and a Star Wars T-Shirt. Turns out it was one of the fanciest restaurants in town. FML
The truth
Today, I found out I was adopted when my drunk dad made a terrible Star Wars joke. FML
Oh no…
Today, I met a fellow Star Wars fan. We began enthusiastically talking about how almost no one our age knows the good old classics anymore. I was referring to the original trilogy; she was talking about the ones with Jar Jar Binks. FML
Today, I went to see Star Wars with my brother. The entire time he talked about how scientifically inaccurate and improbable the entire movie was. FML
Today, eight months pregnant, I got the giggles. My boyfriend asked me why and not knowing what to say, I burst into tears. He then asked me why I was crying. Again not knowing what to say, I started laughing. This lasted a half hour. Goddamn hormones. FML
Never again
Today, I had to pick up my brother and his girlfriend from the bar at 2:00am because they were too drunk to drive themselves and had no money for an Uber. Five minutes into the ride, they started going at it in the back of my car. I don't think I'll be doing favors again. FML
Aujourd’hui, j’ai croisé le mec pour qui j’avais eu un énorme béguin il y a 3 ans et avec qui je promenais mon chien. Il se souvenait du nom de mon chien, pas du mien. VDM
Aujourd’hui, les parents de ma copine m’invitent à diner. Ils ont passé la journée aux fourneaux pour me mijoter une variété de plats à base de viande. Dans leur culture, refuser un repas revient à leur cracher au visage. Je suis végétarien. VDM
Aujourd’hui, mon petit ami m’a dit qu’il voulait franchir une nouvelle étape pour consolider notre relation. Je pensais qu’il allait me demander d’emménager avec lui. En fait, il voulait pouvoir péter devant moi. VDM
Aujourd’hui, mon petit ami et moi avons couché ensemble pour la première fois. Après ce qui m’a semblé être une éternité, il est finalement entré en moi, a fait une pause, et m’a demandé : “Qu’est-ce que je fais maintenant ?” VDM
Aujourd'hui, je me suis rendu compte que mon petit ami avait plus de poitrine que moi. Je ne sais pas lequel de nous deux est le plus gêné. VDM
Aujourd'hui, mon conjoint, prof de math, a souhaité que je récite les tables de multiplication pendant nos ébats amoureux, pour jouir moins vite. J'ai pu réciter seulement jusqu'à la table de 5. Il s'est félicité. VDM
Aujourd'hui, jeune journaliste, je me présente à l'accueil d'un lycée pour un reportage. J'espère qu'une caméra a pu filmer mon visage lorsque l'on m'a demandé mon carnet de correspondance. VDM
Aujourd'hui, ma brosse à dents est tombée dans l'évier alors que j'y vidais le contenu de ma coupe menstruelle. VDM
Aujourd'hui, j'entends un bruit suspect alors que je suis couchée. Vivant seule pendant la semaine et pensant à un cambrioleur, je me poste derrière la porte, une poêle à la main. C'est ainsi que j'ai assommé mon copain, qui voulait me faire une surprise en rentrant plus tôt du travail. VDM
Aujourd'hui, examen important. C'est en pensant prendre des vitamines que j'ai pris un somnifère léger, qui avait exactement la même boîte. L'examen est à la première heure et je me sentais déjà très fatiguée. VDM
Aujourd'hui, chez ma meilleure amie j'ai voulu montrer à quel point j'étais musclée. J'ai donc soulevé mon t-shirt et contracté mes abdos… Personne n'a vu mes abdos mais par contre tout le monde a entendu mon pet. VDM
Aujourd'hui, mon voisin est venu se plaindre que MON Wi-Fi était trop lent. VDM
Aujourd’hui, ma grand-mère m’a envoyé 10 photos d’elle et ses chats. Non pas par e-mail ou SMS. Non. Elle a mis les photos sur une clé USB, qu’elle m’a ensuite envoyé par courrier postal dans une enveloppe. VDM
