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!"

All you needed to say was, "At my bank, we have twenty million dollars in one-hundred dollar bills!"

i would totally not mind being a banker. no shame with your job whatsoever. first of all, kids are just stupid and rude nowdays, and second of all, who cares what that little boy thinks as long as your kids like what you do right?

I think the FML here is that the OP actually feels insulted when elementary students make fun of him. Seriously. Grow up? Little kids shouldn't have that sort of influence over you.

Wow, why don't you quit your job, and become a skydiver or a bounty hunter in order to impress a bunch of kids? Since you're so beat up about what kids think of your job, remind them all that none of them will ever be astronaughts, and that they should start practicing their burger-flip technique for homework tonight in order to get an edge on their future competition.

The parent that tries to be the cool parent to the kids, has poor boundries, and only gets b*ned later in life when he doesnt take you as seriously

This is horrible, what in the world is wrong with kids these days? When I was a kid, no one I knew was rude enough to say something like that, and with all these FML posts about kids, I'm just wondering, what the **** are the parents doing? What ever happened to self restraint? Or on that subject, when the hell did kids stop having manners?

Umm... They can't come because they have to work, considering their jobs don't actually pay the bills.

HAHAH. whoever said "You deserved it." Is such a jerk! Yeah, cause it's TOTALLY THE OP's FAULT that this school has a career day, and that they're a banker. hahaha. anyways, like a lot of others have said, don't take it personally. :)
