Cool dude

By Blah - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to go to my son's school for career day, I explained what a banker does, then asked if anyone had a question. One boy raised his hand and asked, "When are all the cool parents gonna come?" FML

To #3-you've obviously never been in an elementary classroom. Kids are more brutal than Simon Cowell.

Tell that kid "Sorry, there are no parents with cool jobs coming. We fired them all because all your money are belong to us!"

I am a video games designer for a famous company and believe me, kids (and teenagers) worship me lol (women on the other hand would be more impressed by a banker...)

Don't worry man, being a banker is MUCH better than anything the 'cool' parents do :)

Bankers are cool on the inside. Somehow.

As your post you should have just said: "Today, I had to go to my son's school for career day, and I explained what a banker does...FML"

#6 - I just laughed really hard because of that. OP - Kids just want to be impressed by what the parents do. Firefighters, policemen, and astronauts have the cool category on lock down, so you're pretty much screwed when it comes to career day. At least you have a job though. Be happy about that!
