Transportation: Today, after reading a sign at the airport, my 6-year-old son...

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, 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

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, 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, my dad drove me to the airport. As I got out of the car, he said, "You better pop that zit on your face, security might think it's a bomb". FML

Never joke with TSA

Today, I missed my flight because I was held in airport security because I'd "threatened" an employee. He had confiscated my eyelash curler and jokingly I asked if he thought I was going to curl him to death. He didn't laugh. FML

The Covid who stole Christmas

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

Revealing

Today, I was in a busy airport bathroom with my three year-old son. While in the process of pulling my pants down, my son decided to open the stall door. I jumped up to yank the door closed, but not before the line of waiting women saw me with my pants wrapped around my ankles. FML

Today, I was traveling home with my four-year-old son. While we were standing in line at the security checkpoint, I hear the sound of water dripping and turned to find my son urinating on the floor. He'd read a sign that said we weren't allowed to take any liquids with us. FML

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

Dogs with jobs

Today, my family got detained by airport security thanks to one of their dogs. It didn't even bark to indicate there was something wrong, though. It just kept sniffing my dad, probably because we had our dog with us in the car on the way there. FML

Well hopefully your son learned a lesson. Can't really expect a 6 year old to know what he can and cannot say in a airport.

I'm sure I'm going to get bitchslapped or modded for this, but, YDI for not properly disciplining your child to let them know what appropriate public behavior is. If I were have to done this as a child, I would have met the wrath of a leather belt. And for all of you crazy-ass parents who say that spaking is wrong, unfortunately, child psychologists are siding with the spankers these days.

@32- My personal opinions on spanking aside, I'd like to see you try to stop a 6-year old (or anyone for that matter) from blurting out something random. How was the OP to expect something like that? Kids do stupid shit randomly, and unless you're a mind reader, there's nothing you can do to pre-emptively stop it. OP- FYL, I hope you at least punished the kid somehow and had a long talk about how inappropriate that was.

With all due respect, I've never had an incident where my six year old has shouted out anything random or even so much as screamed in public (with the exception where she was stung by four bees, and I'd probably yelp too if that was the case). She knows that there are consequences for her negative actions, and rewards for her positive actions.
