Today, I overheard my parents talking about our family pet. Or at least I thought they were, until my mother exclaimed, "Honestly, I don't know why we keep her." Our dog is male. FML

Today, my mother called me at work, freaking out about my dog, so I panicked. What was wrong? He had a hard-on and she'd never seen that happen before. FML

Mistaken identity

By thedogwalker - 09/08/2020 08:02

Today, I was out walking my dog, when a lady called out to me asking, “Is that a boy or a girl?” Assuming she meant the dog, I told her that he was a boy. When I turned away, I heard her say to her kid, “I was talking about the person walking the dog, but whatever,” then audibly laughing. FML

Alexa, play "Ghosts" by Japan

Today, I was awoken by a conversation my mom was having with my dog upstairs. She was telling my dog that a ghost lives in our house. She was completely serious. The ghost even has a name and a backstory. FML

Blame the pooch

Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. I had to fart really badly, so thinking that he wouldn't hear me, I did so. He heard me and asked, "Did you fart?" I said "No, it was my dog." I don't have a dog, and he knows this. FML

Today, I was talking with my wife of five years, and I gave her a few hints about wanting kids. After our talk, she looked at me completely serious and said, "Yeah yeah, kids are great and all, but can't we just get you a dog?" FML

Don't sweat it OP, they probably weren't being serious. Parents always say things like that when they're ticked off.

Maybe your parents didn't like the dog because they thought she was a bitch?

I wonder if Harry Potter ever overheard any similar conversions. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're probably an adopted wizard whose admission letter to Hogwarts will show up any day now.

Those are fighting words, partner. I challenge you to a duel in the moderation section! I'll see you behind the submission with the worst grammar at high noon, east coast time!

Don't worry, a lot of times humans will refer to there pets as females

I accidentally call my dog a she all the time by accident. I highly doubt this was about you...

Am I the only one who thinks the mom is referring to a female 'pet' and not the daughter? It sounds to me mom and dad have someone else in the bedroom.

You could always confront her about it. She could be talking about anything.

If you're 18 or older maybe it's time to try looking for your own place OP. If you can financially afford it that is.

People identify genders of animals to themselves, even if they know otherwise. My mom calls our dog a her and we've had HIM for 13 years. Simple slip of the tongue, OP!

Maybe they'll donate you to a nice family. Don't worry too much.

#32 Sorry if it was offensive but I was joking.

@35 It wasn't offensive, #32 was being overly sensitive and reacted inappropriately.

I hate the fact that some parents really say that, sad stories make me cry, but trust me, if they are are your biological parents, i bet they were kidding or they were just not talking about you, maybe they have other issues we kids never know about..
