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

Same thing different taste

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

I'm glad everyone has gotten me animal stuff. Mine is a boy, and even if he ended up coming out a girl, I'd still make her wear all the stuff that's already been bought. It's a baby, no one cares about the color. Simply return it all. Duh! That's why you ALWAYS keep the tags and your receipts.

Why do you assume that, because your baby is going to have a ******, all of its things must be pink? A bit sexist if you ask me.

a few decades ago pink used to be the boys-colour, so go retro, op ;)

**** gender stereotypes, right? So what if it's pink?

Don't be sexist. Who cares what colors things are. And if they really bother you, just change the fabric or paint over the pink.

And this is an example of why fixed gender roles are a stupid concept.

Serves you right for gendering so heavily anyway. Just buy green and yellow stuff, it makes everything easier

Since when is pink a girl color?

That's why the fact that colors have genders makes me angry. If pink wasn't a "girl color", this wouldn't be a problem. Maybe exchange some of it, but honestly, having pink things isn't going to affect your boy. It's just a color, he won't even know it's a "girl color" until people start telling him it is.
