Kids: Today, my son couldn't find all the parts to his Cub Scout uniform....

Today, my son couldn't find all the parts to his Cub Scout uniform. I had a serious talk with him about being prepared, and how he would need to live with the consequences of not having the right outfit on. When we arrived at the meeting, everyone was in costumes because it's Halloween. I forgot. FML

Today, I finished making an awesome costume for a Halloween party my crush was attending. I then checked the invite and found out the party was last night. FML

Today, I showed up to a meeting without my pants and had to pretend it was part of my outfit. FML

The Nerf of some people

Today, I took my son to festival at a local church. He had a Nerf gun as part of his costume, but when I set it down to put something in my bag, someone walked off with it. We can't even go to a church function without running into thieves. FML

Today, I was excited to finally receive my Halloween costume in the mail after the one I ordered back in September got lost in transit. Upon reaching my mailbox, I saw the lock had been broken off and my new costume had been stolen. The party is tomorrow. FML

Today, I thought about how my dad went to get me a Halloween costume and hasn't come home yet. That was 11 years ago. We've moved twice since then. FML

The guest formerly known as…

Today, I went to a costume party dressed as Prince. As I walked into the party, I realized that I was the only one who hadn't received the memo that the costume part of the party had been cancelled. I spent the evening awkwardly mingling with a group of confused strangers while dressed in purple satin. FML

Today, my company had a Halloween party. I was so excited seeing as our company never does anything, so I pulled out all the stops with my costume. I was the only one who got dressed up. FML

Today, my son told me he lost the envelope with all the money he earned selling Cub Scout popcorn. The popcorn was delivered already, and the money needs to be turned in to the pack leader tonight. I just spent $220 on popcorn my neighbors are eating. FML

Today, my mom volunteered me to help out at her coworker's 5-year-old son's birthday party. I didn't realize until I got there that "helping out" meant "dressing up as Spider-Man". FML

Parent fail... wow I hate it when my parents are hypocrites! And obviously it’s not Halloween but it’s probably the last meeting before Halloween and they were celebrating. (@#3)

I must be stupid. I had to read your comment twice in order to understand it, being it lacks complete punctuation.

Because it's not actually Halloween? I mean, if this had actually happened on the 31st, that would have been different…

What kind of kid forgets a Halloween party, a chance to dress up as a superhero and get free candy?! Most kids I know would be talking about it all week. Either yours is a lot smarter than you think, or has no imagination. I think he saw a primo opportunity for you to get what was coming to you.
