Today, I was teaching my 4 year-old daughter about "stranger danger" and how to deal with it. Later that day, we went out and since I didn't buy her a ice cream, she kept screaming "STRANGER DANGER!" A total stranger tackled me until the cops arrived. FML

Running gag

Today, I was jogging in my neighborhood when I saw a kid's ball roll over to where I was jogging. I stopped, grabbed the ball for the kid and went to hand it to him. He then yelled, "Stranger danger!" and his parents came sprinting out. I had to explain the story to the police for 30 minutes. FML

Today, my daughter and I went to the mall. While we were looking for clothes, she walked away from me and touched a man on the arm and smiled and said "Hi!" The man freaked out and screamed at me for letting that "thing" in public and to "wear a condom next time." FML

Today, I punched an older woman in the face. I only hit her after she grabbed my 4-year-old daughter and told her to, "stop dancing like a whore!" My daughter was so terrified, she peed her pants. FML

Stranger danger

By john doe - 07/12/2013 17:29 - United States - Portland

Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML

Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML

Stranger Danger!

Today, I was going into a store and saw a woman roughly handling a screaming toddler. I kept walking, until I heard the kid scream, "Help! You’re not my mommy!” I called 911 and stood behind the car to keep her from taking off. The cops arrived to see me fending off blows from a very pissed off grandma. FML

Or the stranger tackled her father

well, hopefully watching her dad get tackled because of something she did will teach the kid a lesson

There is actually an ice cream shop called Iscream near where I live. I thought it was genius (and the ice cream's pretty good as well)

hope this is sarcasm. nothing like rewarding kids who do things wrong and reinforcing them to keep doing wrong bc they know theyll get what they want.

Jgmarines was saying a line from an old famous tv show staring Bill Cosby and random kids.

That show is considered old.... That's it midlife crisis time. I already have to listen to "classic rock" or "oldies" to hear the music I grew up with. T-T

You're both too young to know what you're talking about! Cosby had a show for a couple lackluster seasons, but it was a remake of an Art Linkletter show segment that was on for 25 YEARS. Rookies!

All of a sudden, I'm hearing the line in the Bowling for Soup song wondering when Motley Crue became classic rock and when did Ozzy become an actor. What's really scary is when the Muzak you hear in your office building is the shit you grew up with.

actually it was a show starring Art Linkletter. Bill Cosby did the remake.

Not sure why #85 is being thumbed down. This is correct. I guess too few people are old enough to be aware of the first show. EDIT: I guess because it was a repeat of #40?
