Today, at an elementary school a girl showed me her grandma's obituary in the paper and started crying. To stop her from crying I made things out of the rest of the paper, later she asked me where her grandma's obituary was. I accidentally made it into a hat, with lots of tape. FML

Same thing different taste

A teacher's burden

Today, a parent came into my class and told one of my 6 year-old students that their grandma died. Then the parent left. The kid started crying from the news, which then got all the other students crying. I spent the rest of the day comforting a class of kids crying over someone else's grandma. FML

Today, I was trying to get drama students to attempt to make themselves cry. I was not having any luck, until suddenly a girl burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I jumped up to applaud, saying what a wonderful thing it is to have such expressive kids. Turns out her grandma just died. FML

Sorry…

Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML

Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML

Today, I was at my grandma's funeral. While giving the eulogy, I accidentally mixed up "You will be missed" and "You won't be forgotten" and instead said "You won't be missed." FML

Freak out

Today, my grandma posted an embarrassing childhood photo on my school's events page. I told her everyone could see it, and asked if she could take it down. She freaked and commented on it, apologizing for posting it. Now I feel guilty for embarrassing her, and it's still on the page. FML

Today, my mom found out that paper is made from trees. She read it on a garbage truck. I then had to explain to her how it's made. FML

So, she specifically showed you where it was, and then instead of setting it aside, you went ahead and did destructive things with the paper without paying attention? Points for effort, but fail in the execution, dude!

This is quite possibly the dumbest female I've ever read. One, how did you accidentally make it into a hat? And two, it's just a piece of newspaper, it's not exactly hard to get another one...

That sucks and you're a dumbass and I don't blame her for blaming you. However, it is kind of pointless holding an obituary... the best kind of reminders of those lost, are all of the fun and enjoyable and memorable times you spent with them. An obituary does nothing, staring at it brings no happiness. Yet remembering the first time your grandma baked you cookies or made you soup, or you spent a time with her in the park, or helped her out with stuff- well, those are the kinds of reminders that are good for the soul and the memory and the spirit! Personally my grandma passed away awhile ago... it sucks =/ this reminded me of her. Oh well, she was a great woman, I have basically no doubt that she's in heaven right now, and I hope I see her someday. Solutions for your problem? Buy another copy of the magazine (find the date), or print that article out. You can usually find it online if you look hard enough, if you cant find the magazine somewhere.
