Today, my grandson visited me, and asked if I had any pictures of myself from when I was a little girl. I happily looked for a few photos to give him, asking what had piqued his curiosity. He replied that he wanted some for a presentation he's doing on the Middle Ages. FML

Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML

Today, my 11-year-old son and I were going through some old photos. He saw one of me when I was 22 on a beach, wearing a bikini. He said "Wow! Who's that?" Quite proudly I said it was me. He looked at me and said "What happened?" FML

Today, the new guy at work - who is probably at least ten years older than I am - admired the photo on my desk of myself with my husband and teenage daughters and asked, "Are those your grandchildren?" I'm in my 40's. FML

Today, I paid a social visit to my grandparents. While we were watching the news, a story came on about the Queen of England. I scoffed, "How is she not dead already? How old is she, anyway?" My grandmother replied, "About my age." Oops. FML

Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML

Today, I was having a nice moment with my granddaughter as she was being affectionate by stroking my face. We were both quite content, until she said, "Aw, Grandma, your skin feels just like a crocodile." FML

Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML

If he's only, like, 6 then isn't that kind of cute? He doesn't know any better, give the kid a break :)

In high school I worked in a kindergarten class and one of the students asked me if my mommy was dead... I said no... she was shocked and said, "But you have boobs!" lol... I guess she thought anyone who had boobs (an "adult") had dead parents!

I didn't know many grandparents went on fmylife. it's still better than the 12 year olds who think they're so smart and mature

If I'm guessing right and he's a kid, not a teenager, then it's not an fml!

I'm assuming he's very young, in which case, what's the big deal? A lot of really young kids don't have a lot of perspective of time and aging; one year feels like forever for them. When my older sister turned eleven, I was seven, and I made a really big deal out of how she was a WHOLE ELEVEN YEARS OLD! It seemed like a really big deal to me because eleven years seemed like ages to my young, seven-year old experience. If he's not so young, then he's obviously just trying to rile you up on purpose. And it worked.

Well, didja? He might start bragging how his gram ran with the dinosaurs.

A lot of kids are like that, it's not a big deal. He's only saying that because you're his grandma and he doesn't realize how long ago the dinosaurs were compared to your age.

Seriously? He's either like a cute little 5 year old that has seen ice age, or he's like a 12 year old little shit who needs to STFU.
