Today, I found out that doctors can be wrong. Pink clothes, pink stroller, pink bottles, pink bibs, pink cribs and pink bedding to go with my baby that recently came out with a little pink penis. FML

Today, I went into hospital and was being treated by a really cute doctor. Not knowing that I was going to end up here, I put on novelty underwear this morning. Well, at least he found the little green glow-in-the-dark skulls amusing. FML

How appropriate

Today, I found out my husband had bought my one year-old daughter a shirt that says "Birth Control Fail" in pink glittery letters. He even took her out in it while I was at work. FML

Today, my wife and I were planning our nursery for our future child. She said that we'd be painting it pink either way. I asked what would happen if we had a boy. She said "Oh, he'll be gay" with a menacing glare. I'm worried. FML

Today, I leaned down to pick up my infant son from his highchair. He reached up and grabbed the first thing available to him: my nipple. I got purple-nurpled by my baby. FML

Today, I woke up to my 8 month old son happy as can be. I could hear him laughing over the monitor. When I walked into the room, he had somehow got his diaper off and was holding onto his new found penis. He thought it was hysterical when it went off and shot urine everywhere. FML

Today, I saw a pink, slimy thing coming out of my dog's knob. I got really freaked out so I took him to the vet, only to find out that it was his penis. FML

Bathroom menace

By Shelly - 07/06/2009 02:25 - United States

Today, I used the restroom at a department store. While I was in my stall, I overheard a little girl say to her mother, "I see someone wearing pink!" I remembered that I was wearing pink just as she finished her thought, "…and she's pooping." She was peeking at me through the stall. FML

Today, while changing my clothes, my 3 year-old daughter informed me that I looked like a zebra. Noticing my shocked face, she tried comforting me by telling me I was a pretty zebra because I was a purple zebra. She was talking about my stretch marks. FML

Gender bending

Today, my doctor told me to take off my pants so she could do a checkup. When I took them off, she gasped. When I asked what was wrong, she said she was expecting something else. She thought I was a dude. FML

Be thankful you have a baby and all the furniture and things for your baby not everyone can afford cribs,strollers,changing table, ect also not everyone can have babies. Seriously this is NOT an FML. Grow up and open your eyes, YOU HAVE A BABY BE THANKFUL

This is actually quite common, especially when they say it is a girl. Sometimes the penis is in a position that they can't see it. They tell you that the sex is not guaranteed when they give you the ultrasound so you should have known that. And anyways, there's nothing wrong with a baby boy having pink items. He doesn't know the difference. It is scientifically proven that pink has a calming effect and reduces aggression anyways so it's actually helpful for him to be around pink.

...and that is why you should always be safe and buy yellow strollers, blankets, clothes etc

This is why gender-neutral colours are so great (: Or don't go ALL pink or ALL blue or whatever, get some of both. And other colours too. Like yellow or green...

A) ultrasound technicians are technically not doctors. B) doctors and ultrasound technicians both are human and can make mistakes. "to err is human," so don't believe absolutely everything you hear, even if the person telling you has a degree. C) the only 100% accurate way to find out your baby's gender is to wait until the baby's born, because, as #300 said, certain things don't always show up. D) even if you had had a girl, why would you want to surround the baby with gender-specific colours instead of surrounding her with all sorts of different - but still pleasant - colours, allowing her to learn and decide which colours she likes best? i'm not criticizing your colour choice, but having more of a variety could help him learn to recognize and name colours faster once he learns to talk.
