Just dependa things

Today, my mom bought me a t-shirt from the store. It has the U.S. Marines logo on it and says "Marine's Girlfriend." I'm a straight 16 year-old boy and my mom only reads and speaks Spanish. FML

Today, my non-English-speaking grandma bought me a new t-shirt. It would've been sweet if it didn't have the word "bondage" written on the back in pretty, bold letters. I had no choice but to wear it while we went shopping. FML

Today, I needed a change of clothes, so I called my mom. She brought me a grey shirt with a toucan on the front and 'Mexico City' spelled in glitter. I asked her why she would bring me such an ugly shirt, and she started crying. Turns out she'd bought it for me as a present from her trip. FML

Today, I wore a Stanford college T-shirt to school. My Spanish teacher took one look at it and said "You wish". FML

Today, I introduced my mother to my new girlfriend. My mom made a very nasty comment about her in Spanish, not realizing that my girlfriend teaches Spanish at the local school. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted me to get a shirt saying "I'm a girl," just so people won't think he's gay. FML

Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML

Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. FML

#49- Maybe because she doesn't have to? Predominant doesn't mean official, and if she's got a good job, and life's just fine, she doesn't need to. Perhaps you should realize that this country, now growing absolutely insipid with its border control BS, was based on diversity. It's what makes us so amazing. Basically, stop toting your confederate flag and open your mind. :)

Ha ha well I think you have to tell her: "Mama, esta playera dice que soy la novia de un Marine" Gracias por la playera pero no la puedo usar por que van a pensar que soy gay." :p

Funnier still if it really does say "Marines' girlfriend" instead of "Marine's girlfriend" That would make you the girlfriend of several Marines or the entire Corps if you wore the shirt lol.

I lol'd at 57. Also, turn it inside out? D: A silly looking shirt is better than nothing, I suppose.

I think it was cute. She didn't do it to spite you, it was an honest mistake and I think you should just laugh it off. It's one of those things you laugh about at family reunions. It's nothing serious.
