Today, while watching The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh with my 5 year-old, I realized why the kangaroo's name is Kanga, and why her son's name is Roo. Kanga-Roo. Get it? Yeah. I didn't until today. I'm 47. FML

Today, at work, I was discussing animated movies with a male senior who's got kids. I was trying to refer to Zootopia but couldn't remember the name. I went, "Zoo, zoo... filia?" Silence. It wasn't until I got home an hour later that I realized what I said. FML

Today, while on a road trip through Australia with my dad, we were both complaining that we had yet to see any kangaroos. Suddenly, we saw one up real close. The rental car saw it even closer. FML

Today, in an incredibly busy shopping center bathroom with my 5 year-old niece, I was squatting over the toilet seat to avoid germs. My niece then says at the top of her voice, "Auntie, why are you sitting like a kangaroo?" I'd say the whole room pissed their pants laughing. FML

Today, my three year old nephew was pointing at the TV screen and saying "Uncle, Uncle!" He thought it was me on the screen. It was Rosie O'Donnell. FML

Today, my daughter had a vocabulary assignment. She had to find five new words in books and movies. She was watching Shrek, so her first word was "thong". FML

Today, I finally decided to get my five-year-old son a rabbit, so I explained to him how to take care of it. When I'd finished listing all the things he'd have to do, he replied, "That's too complicated... Couldn't we just eat it instead?" FML

Today, I took my daughter on her first visit to the zoo. While we were watching the lemurs, some kid thought it would be funny to start shouting "MONKEY CUNTS" at them at the top of his voice. Now my daughter refuses to stop repeating the same phrase. FML

Today, my family and I watched Madagascar 2. When we got to the part where Gloria the hippopotamus is praised for her chunkyness, my little sister looked at me and said, "If you were a hippo, maybe then you would get a date." FML

I'm just a little surprised that 47 year old's are reading FML's, posting them....and had children at 42. Very amazed.

Oh thank god you told me that, I'm 20 and I didn't know that either... To be fair though, I've hated Whinne the Pooh my entire life and barely ever watched it.

SuzyQ, I just gave you a thumbs down. Do you really think the world, or even the Internet, revolves around twenty-somethings? Forty-seven isn't that old, and I hope you get there some day. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Tim Berners-Lee? All over 50. Linus Torvalds just turnd 40 in December. Twentysomethings didn't develop the Internet, cell phones, or video games. So yes, forty-seven-year-olds can and should be on FML, post on FML, and give thumbs down. (I'm 51, if you were wondering, and was turned on to this site by a 53-year-old.)
