Today, I was with my kids. We saw a tiny little bug and they started freaking out. Trying to show them that bugs are not scary, I picked it up. It bit me and now I have to go to the doctor because my hand is the size of a balloon. FML

Today, I noticed a small bite on my arm. I couldn't figure out what it came from until I saw a small insect crawling out of my bra. FML

Today, I woke up and saw a piece of black fuzz on my shirt. I tried to pick it off but it crawled into my hand and stabbed my skin with its sharp legs. I screamed like a little girl because I had a centipede on me. FML

Today, my son wanted to be Spiderman. He found the biggest spider he could outside and let it bite his hand. He's staying overnight in the hospital. FML

Today, I woke up to a huge, disgusting bug next to my bed. As I tried to squish it, it suddenly flew off at high speed. Now I'm lying in bed, awake and terrified because I can hear it buzzing around but can't see it anywhere. FML

Today, I saw a bug on a stranger's arm and as a knee-jerk reaction smacked it. It took me a second before I realized it was actually a loose scab. FML

Today, I was singing along to my favorite song when a giant bug flew into my mouth. I was so shocked, I almost swallowed it. After I was done freaking out, my sister wanted to throw the bug a big funeral for its "heroic sacrifice" in shutting me up. FML

Today, I went to the doctor. I had a spider bite that had been getting progressively larger for days. I had been putting Neosporin on underneath the bandage that was on it. The doctor saw my wound and laughed. He said the spider bite was no big deal, but that I was allergic to the Neosporin. FML

Today, I noticed an extremely large bug buzzing around my room. After several attempts, I stomped on it with my shoe. I was trying to get a closer look at my victory when it flew into my nostril. Turns out it was just playing dead. FML

What bug was it? I mean if it looked dangerous you should've known but if you thought it was a ladybug or something harmless, then that's just bad luck.

Next time listen to your kids. I hate bugs except for ladybugs, butterflies, and caterpillars.

just because bugs aren't scary, doesn't mean you should pick them up...

24 bug- An insect of the order Hemiptera, also known as the "true bugs". (Older taxonomies identify a suborder, Heteroptera.) Any arthropod (excepting most crustaceans); includes insects, but also non-insects such as spiders and centipedes so spiders are not true bugs but they are bugs by the second definition

Um, why don't you teach your children to avoid bugs, because you don't always know what they might do? I mean, case in point.

bugs can be deadly, you shouldn't try to lie to kids P.S..bugs don't bite, they sting, they have no teeth...

# 3 fails. # 21 win for deducing with such little information. OP, maybe now you're familiar with the golden rule. Don't **** with shit, unless it ***** with you.

Well, you did teach the kids a valuable lesson anyway: Don't pick up unknown animals. And #39, some arthropods have mandibles that they can "bite" with.
