Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML

Today, my family was cleaning out our basement when I noticed an empty wall. I asked my grandma if I could put a picture up. She replied, "I don't want your ugly drawings on the wall". I wasn't talking about my drawings. FML

Today, my friend showed me a creepy piece of artwork he'd drawn. I laughed and said that it would give me nightmares, meaning it as a compliment. Turns out, this one was in honor of his dead grandmother, who'd raised him. FML

Today, I had to send a picture of my Grandma at her funeral to my girlfriend, because she thought I was out cheating on her. FML

Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML

Today, my Nana showed me her new sign that says, "Some of my greatest blessings call me Nana." We stood there looking at a wall FULL of pictures of her grandkids, which is where she wanted to hang it. After scanning the wall a couple times, I realized. There was not one picture of me. FML

Today, I found out my deceased grandmother never liked anything that I bought for her. She would never say anything to not hurt my feelings. The only reason I bought those things in the first place was because growing up she told me that she liked them. Now that she's gone, I'm hearing what she really thought. FML

Today, my grandpa saw one of the paintings in the guest room at my house. "What the fuck?" he snorted, then said whoever painted it should "stick to their damn day job". I painted it. FML

Today, I received a package at work. Thinking it was something I ordered, I opened it in front of my coworkers. It was a gift from my grandmother: a giant pink, “I Love My Grandson” T-shirt. The worst part? They insisted I put it on and take a picture to send to her. FML

Today, I walked into my house to find everyone sitting around the table and looking sad. I thought it would be a good time to crack a joke and said, "What's wrong? Grandma finally die?" Turns out she had. FML

I'm trying so hard, darling, and I just can't picture in my head how anyone could make out a graveyard from a bridge... Also...why would you draw your grandmother a bridge in the first place? It just seems like an odd drawing...unless she was an architect back in her day or something.

Did you draw R.I.P on the bridge?

Haha, why would you draw someone a bridge for their birthday? Unless it was of some special significance to her... but yeah it was a nice idea anyway - homemade presents are the best. Sorry it went ****-up though :P

**** up? Never heard that expression before. How did **** up become a bad thing? Were they boy **** or man boobs? Sigh! I'm seeking enlightenment on FML.

why on earth would you paint a bridge for her? total ydi.

Maybe for Easter you can draw her some dead bunnies. And for Christmas, a nice Menorah. Makes as much sense to me.

They were upset that you were too cheap to buy Grandma a gift. When all else fails, iTunes Gift Card. Everyone loves those! Surely, Granny has one of those old-timey iPods with the ginormous click wheel and a hard drive inside which she syncs with her Flower Power iMac with the orthopedic mouse.

Or better yet! An iTunes card with a picture of a bridge on it! Bridges improve any gift.

Dear Grandma, here's this drawing of a random ass bridge for you on your 85th birthday. I knew you would appreciate it more than a flat screen or car. From, Johnny.

because getting an 85 year old a car is always a great idea. unless its say, a collectible from their younger years they just wanted as a trophy of sorts.

I was just wondering that. If the OP is about 8 then this would make sense. If not, why the **** would you give your grandma a bloody awful drawing for her birthday? Are you actually THAT broke? Was this drawing a replacement for a birthday card? And why a bridge of all things? Unless she's some sort of unusual bridge enthusiast then I have no idea why any old woman would want even a fantastic rendition of a bridge. Also OP, there is a saying called "crossing the bridge" , WHICH IS A EUPHEMISM FOR DEATH . I expect this may be why your grandma was upset by it.

I think it was your attached note that raised eyebrows. Dear Grandma, Here's a bridge. Please find it and jump off it, so I can finally collect my inheritance, for Chrissakes!
