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

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?

My mom always mixed up the sex of our animals. I wouldnt worry about it to much.

Maybe they had a second dog waiting to give it to you for your birthday?

Maybe they just mixed up their pronouns. He/she. My bf always calls my dogs boys because he has a male dog

Maybe they got a female dog and were having second thoughts?

They probably just screwed up the pronouns. If they don't know or care for the pet that much, my family will do the same.

Do you have any sisters or anything? Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but I'd still ask.

Many reasons: 1. accidentally saying "she" when she meant "he". 2. How old are you? Maybe they are thinking of saying "its time you get your own place"? 3. various other reasons.
