Today, I broke my mother's Tiffany lamp from the 1920's. Practically crying, I raced onto the computer to try to find one to order before she comes back in three weeks. The lamp is worth over twelve thousand dollars, and the only way I'm getting one is if I lived 90 years ago. FML

Clarification: I broke the lamp by complete accident. I was vaccuming my living room and I caught the edge of the vaccuum on the end of the coffee table, and the light went crashing to the ground. I did tell my mom, and she was initially upset, but the lamp itself didn't have any sentimental value, making the situation a bit better. It was a vintage lamp she got at an auction in France. Thank you for your concerns and comments, haha, I've learned my lesson.

Mom always said: "don't play ball in the house."

You could try and find someone to repair it, I'm sure there's someone out there up to it.

You are an idiot. Your parents should disown you for being a clumsy fool. However, your mother is also an idiot for displaying it in a place it could be broken.

Tell your grandma or whatever there was an earthquake and knock ovr a few other worthless things to make it seem realistic

It's her mother not her grandmother and don't you think her mother would hear about an earthquake?

It's only stuff. If it's that valuable it should be insured. If it isn't then F your Mum's life for leaving her baby home alone and for being a cheapskate.

Stop talking like a porch monkey.

OP: Perhaps you'll luck out and it'll be a reproduction. (See THE NECKLACE by Guy De Maupassant for hope.)

I've read that story SO many times during school; I almost have a love-hate relationship with it. Love because it's such a touching and realistic story. Hate because the irony in the story is SO drastic, that literally, the poorer woman has to spend the REST OF HER LIFE fixing. I usually don't like reading stories where the main character ends up saying FML. Except on this website. Because more often than not they are FUNNY AS HELL! and funnier than these long, intricate stories where you grow to love the character, whereas here, it's a shallow laughing at the person. Man, I feel REALLY shallow for visiting FML now. That isn't going to make me stop, though...
