Today, I was working at a portrait studio and was taking pictures of a little girl, I kept telling the girl to stop making silly faces when she smiles because her eyes go cross-eyed. After the third time I said it her mom grabbed the little girl and left. Turns out, she was naturally cross-eyed. FML

well its not really your fault, the mom didnt tell you, who isnt gonna naturally assume that a little kid is making faces when they cross their eyes?

#s 12 and 61 made me literally lol. =)

haha I am with #62. That lady is obviously an idiot. It was not your fault.

#60 is spot on, this is what I was going to say... Totally the mom's fault.

People need to stop saying that it's the OP's fault. How in GOD'S name is (s)he supposed to know that the little girl was naturally cross eyed? Mom shouldn't assume that the world knows her daughter has ocular problems.

I am so with #4. Does that make me a bad person? Mother's fault.

Ahahaha.... you could just described my day at work yesterday! The same thing happened, except I figured out it was a lazy eye and managed to save face. Meanwhile... the mom gave me this really cool pen! Oh the woes of working for a picture studio.

how would you know? if the mom and the kid left.. how would you ever find out the kid was naturally cross-eyed??

Good point. It does seem fishy. Sounds like the mother told /someone/ working there just not the OP and thus somewhere communication had broken down. Regardless, she overreacted.

Yeah, mom here is a little misguided in how she protects her kid. It's understandable she didn't think to mention it at the beginning, but she could and should have discreetly mentioned something to you the first time you commented on it. I'm sure you would have apologized and gone on with the shoot.

How did you not notice she was cross-eyed idiot. Obviously your powers of observation failed you.
