Today, I wasn't feeling well, so I took my temperature with a thermometer from my sister's bathroom. I later found out that I actually used my sister's rectal thermometer. At least I don't have a fever. FML

Today, I wasn't feeling too good, and took my temperature. I had a fever, which I told my boyfriend who was laughing hysterically when I told him. I asked him what was so funny, turns out he's been using the thermometer to take our dog's temperature sometimes. Rectally, of course. FML

Today, my husband and I got a new stainless steel microwave. When we took it out of the package, we noticed it was blue and got angry. We were about to return it, but we called in our 12 year-old daughter to see what she thought about it. She then took off the blue protective plastic. FML

I'd say it's a good scientific curiosity your child has.

Household Thermometers no longer contain mercury for, literally, this reason. But did it work?

Was it a mercury or digital thermometer? Buy the kid a science kit. You may have a scientist in the making.

Well, it cost you a thermometer (hopefully a cheap one) but sounds like you have a future scientist on your hands :) Get him or her some science books and kits and run a few experiments (how a pendulum works is an easy and fun one) and run with this!

Children's curiosity is prone to cause them to do silly things, since you're posting this I'm guessing she didn't get hurt or anything so I'm glad she's safe.

I can't select "I agree, your life sucks" because it doesn't; that kind of curiosity is a great thing for a child to have. I can't select "You deserved it" because it makes you sound like a bad parent which is not the case. I guess this comment serves as a "your life is not f-ed" button.

Today, I drove my drunk sister home after a wild night of partying. She did not go to bed as I expected; instead, she laid in the bathtub and cried every time I left her. Now it's 3AM, and she's using her bra as a lasso for various objects in the room. The best part is I work in 4 hours. FML

Today, I caught my boyfriend trying to dispose of several empty alcohol bottles, leading to a discussion how dating me and putting up with my insanity has given him a drinking problem just so he can get through the day.
