Best gift ever

By Reihna - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Marion

Today, it's my birthday. I spent $100 on myself, using it to set up an account so that my son could call me from jail. FML

I've heard you can get a pretty decent bundle package with that. You get 30 min with your son and 30 min with his cell mate Bubba.

Dammit, he never answers my questions. :(

Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. :(

Hey you're the one who messaged me calling me a sonuvabitch! Dafuq bro?!

No, I called you a "son of a bitch," and it was because I creamed you in an argument and said it was payback for you throwing tomatoes at me once. Now, this is the only time I will reply to a comment addressing me directly regarding something unrelated to my post, so please settle any personal affairs via PM from now on. Good day.

Well alright, I don't mind a bit of hate mail. Wasn't it on the FML about the butt acne?

Should've spent just $50 on yourself and send him $50 Vaseline hamper if you really cared...would've made his B-day slide past a little better!

You don't say 36!! Here's a secret about birthdays Einstein, everybody has one once a year, so her son's will have is sooner or later...and it is then that my comment take effect. Now if you understand that, come back tomorrow and we can learn how to count till ten.

Okay kids, let's learn to count the down votes together now: one down vote, two down votes... You're an idiot.

Now try counting that votes without using your fingers!

SeepingSarcasm; Did you honestly believe that by saying what you did in #83 would actually convince us that you weren't mistaken about it being OP's birthday and not their son's? Nice try…

I would disown a kid who winds up in jail..

You'd give up on your child because of one mistake he/she makes? That's f*cked up, and smallshaft is right.

35- Yeah, that's not the way it works. You don't disown your child for making a mistake.

Don't procreate then, please. I don't know a single parent who would disown their kids because they get sent to jail.

Well happy birthday OP :) But curiously I wonder how you wrote this FML if you're in jail?

SApprentice 34

38- The FML reads like OP's son is in jail, not OP. The wording of it is slightly awkward, though.

Ah, I see. Thanks. Then never mind about my comment :3

That sucks, OP. I'm sorry. At least he's in a jail where you can set up a calling system. Good luck, and happy birthday!

Better in jail than in a morgue. At least you can still talk to him. Focus on the blessings in life and let yourself have a wonderful day.
