Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to eat dinner with his parents. Everyone wanted me to start the family prayer, and although I hadn't done one in years, I accepted. It went well until I remembered you say "Amen" at the end, not "Uh... Bye." FML

Meet the family

Today, I was invited to my boyfriend's house for dinner for the first time. His mom made a fantastic dinner, so I showed my appreciation by eating the lot. Apparently I was overdoing it because when I looked up everyone was staring. His dad muttered, "Slow the hell down." FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML

Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML

Today, I went to dinner at my parents' house. I was going to surprise them by introducing them to my new boyfriend. They decided to surprise me too, by inviting my ex to the dinner. Everyone was surprised tonight. FML

Practice makes perfect sense

Today, I practiced my wedding vows in front of the mirror we have in the hallway. When I was done, I heard clapping from my living room. Turns out my fiancé’s parents had come over early for dinner and had heard everything. FML

Awkward small talk

By I Feel Horrible - 20/07/2014 17:59 - United States - San Francisco

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

"Rubadubdub thanks for the grub" most anything is better than that, so you're fine on my standards

At least you were polite about it. "See you later loser" would've made it even worse.

Haha I do that sometimes. Mostly when I pray to myself at night but I still say Amen afterwards.

Don't worry, I'm sure that's how I'm going to be when I finally have money to visit my family.

Because of you, everyone will die of food poisoning. Jesus doesn't pardon unbelievers.

That almost sounds like my wife who accidentally said 'congratulations' instead of 'condolences' at a funeral...

Uh, bye is great! Means you don't think A, B, C, D ...done. Prayer is taking with God, two ways, not an order at McDonald's.

I was reading a speech in front of my whole class in 8th grade and when I finished I said Amen because I wasn't paying attention it was awkward and embarrassing so I just ran back to my seat lol

No worries, OP. I like to think God hears even our worst bungled prayers and smiles at them like we would smile at an autocorrected text from a dear friend.
