Today, at the bank, my 8-year-old son decided to pull out realistic looking toy gun, and scream "FREEZE! Give me all your money!" The dim-witted bank teller pressed the silent alarm, and I was nearly arrested. FML

I can see a very good life coming from this kid. Maybe not a legal one, but a rich one none the less.

Why did you allow your son to bring a gun- even a fake- into a bank in the first place?

I hate how people are calling the teller stupid. Yeah, an eight year old would be incredibly unlikely to rob a bank, but parents have made their kids do some pretty crazy shit. And while that might not be so common, if I'm a bank teller and if someone (no matter who) pulls out something that looks like a gun, then I am going to hit the silent alarm.

Not to mention banks take their policies very seriously. I've heard of bank tellers get fired after kicking a robbers ass! So the teller probably didnt want to get fired because "If this had been a real robbery, you would have screwd us all"

Congrats in advance for when your kid gets shot because someone thinks his gun is real.

Today I was almost arrested for a DUI because a cop thought I was high do to my Irish accent this isn't the first time it's happend FML

It sounds more like the kid was dimwitted. think about if he had been full-grown. He could have been shot. Then you'd have no son. Silver lining.

I live in the Waikato and I work in a bank. Which one was it?? And yeah, mistakes happen. You can't control what kids do.

Why would you let the kid bring the gun into the bank?!

What is your 8 year old doing with a realistic toy gun OP? He should be at home playing COD instead like all normal boys

I see this about 50/50 on the iayls/ydi scale

seriously. Watch your ******* kids. They aren't cute or funny. Op had to know that the kid had the gun at some point, pay attention and shit like this won't happens. I applaud the teller for pressing the silent alarm, DI
