Kids: Thanks, son

Thanks, son

Today, I was supposed to catch a 4:40 flight to New York. My 5 year-old son handed me my carry on bag as I left the house. Turns out he had put his older brother's BB gun into my bag to "keep me safe." I missed my flight after I was detained and strip-searched. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was boarding my flight when I got pulled aside for looking suspicious. As she was opening my bag, I said, "Be careful, I jammed so many clothes in there it may explode." I was then strip searched for my trouble. FML

Today, after reading a sign at the airport, my 6-year-old son thought it would be funny to yell, "Daddy's got a bomb!" Airport security then tackled me to the ground. Oh, and I missed my flight and my mother's birthday. FML

Today, my 6-year-old son was so angry at me for not buying him overpriced candy at the airport that he told a security guard I had a machine gun in my suitcase. The interrogation was not pleasant. FML

Today, I missed my flight because I was stopped by airport security. They found "small, suspicious, spherical objects" in my purse on the X-ray. After pulling me out of line, taking my purse aside and carefully opening it with tongs, they removed the bag of grapes I had packed as a snack. FML

Today, after visiting my mom, she stuffed a bunch of pads in my backpack so I'd have some at my dorm. When I was going through security, I was stopped and ended up missing my flight. Apparently the jumbo pads my mom sent look exactly like packs of cocaine when they go through the X-ray machine. FML

The Covid who stole Christmas

By TCRII - 22/12/2020 08:09

Today, I picked up my 5 year-old son for Christmas break. We were on the way to the airport, talking about Santa and what we were going to do over the break when my fiancée called to tell me that she had been exposed to Covid-19. I took him home to his mom's and missed my flight. FML

Today, I was picking up my 10 year old step-son from the airport. He began screaming and crying saying that I wasn't his father. I ended up sitting in a holding room because the security guards thought I was kidnapping him. My wife thought it was hilarious. FML

Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML

Jamaica? I hardly know her

Today, my mom and I went to catch our flight to Jamaica. She ended up being detained and questioned, because she packed hairspray, shampoo, drinks, basically half the shit you're not allowed to have in your luggage. We missed our flight. FML

Today, while going through airport security the lady asked why I folded everything so small. I said that I was going away for a month and needed to fit a lot of stuff in only one bag. She smiled, nodded and then dumped my luggage to search for "drugs and other illegal teen things." FML

It sucks when kids do stuff like that, but they really don't know any better. Best is to tell them that they've done wrong, and hope that they won't do it again.

Your 5 year old should not have access to a gun.

Dude, you should've used what the BB gun was there for, to protect yourself from guards by shooting at their eyes :D

omg #4, #8, and #78 read the damn thing thing... it was his 5 year old who put his OLDER SON's bb gun in there... and wow, ppl who say he shouldn't have children because he bought them a bb gun is irrational; he was trusting his OLDER son and mabe bought it for him so that he can learn about consequences. this incident in the airport was a stupid thing to do but it doesnt necessarily mean he can't have children. and who says he bought it for them at all? what if the older son bought it for himself?

You guys are spazzing too much over the fact her kid can get a BB gun, its her older sons, and who knows where he could of put it, its not her job to monitor where her kid puts their BB gun. And the fact of the matter is her son was doing a good thing trying to be nice she didn't deserve it, no one should have that happen to them

Why didn't you check what he packed before you left?

I'm sorry, but if your older son isn't responsible enough to put the BB gun out of the 5 year old's reach he shouldn't be allowed to have it. It may not be a real gun, but the 5 year old could have seriously hurt himself. I agree with teaching children gun safety at a young age, but that doesn't mean a 5 year old should have access to it just because they "know not to point it at someone." Children don't listen, and at that age they don't understand the concept of death or getting seriously hurt. You're lucky you got detained at the aiport and your kid isn't hurt instead.
