Today, my teenage son taught my five-year-old daughter how to fake her own death. I walked into the kitchen today to find her lying still on the floor, covered in ketchup. She laughed when I began to scream. FML

I have to say, I do love a good prank. Cruel, yes. Well done, for sure.

25) I feel like it's a lot difference. For one, I am going to assume that Doc's son is not 5.

It's very different, Noor. Mine doesn't involve the 5 year old at all, let alone teaching a preschooler about orgasms.

Why does this sound familiar, like from an old fml.

Want to thumb me down? That's fine, but at least answer the question.

Because grounding is a form of punishment. Just because you can't take a joke doesn't mean you ground your kids when they didn't actually do anything wrong.

81- Joking around and pranking parents isn't what deserves punishment in this situation, it's the fact that a serious incident was faked. What people do when they walk into a scene like that is instant. A parents shouldn't have to second guess themselves when they see their kid hurt on the ground.

91 That's a cruel joke to play on your parents, that's why. Faking your own death is not funny, especially when a parent sees her 5 year old allegedly dead on the floor. I'd be terrified too. Thank god it was only a joke. It was in bad taste and the kids need to be disciplined for it. Faking death is one of the worst things you can do, even if you're joking.

She is 5! She was doing as she was taught. She doesn't understand what playing a joke and it being in bad taste is. Perhaps discipline the older sibling and calmly explain to your 5yr old how its wrong to pretend bad things happened?

137 - She doesn't know any better. That's why you punish her so she knows never to do it again. That's how you learn from your mistakes. Would you be ok if your kid was lying lifeless on the floor, and your heart dropped in to your stomach, only to find him/her laughing a few seconds after nearly going into shock? I know I wouldn't be okay with that.

Hahaha! I did something similar once. My cousins wife, well girlfriend at the time, was baby sitting us and she left to go to the store. So we turned off the lights, cracked the front door, dropped theater blood in trails and left bloody foot prints leading out of the house. Then I laid down and did my best blank stare. Hahahaha you should have seen her face!!

This reminds me of that "Dumb and Dumber" scene with the barber shave. Gotta love ketchup!(:

I wish that I had done something like this as a child. The inevitable grounding would have been worth it, haha.

I would have done it regardless of the grounding, lol. I don't think a 5 year-old needs to worry about grounding anyway, it's not like they can go out alone freely anyway.

Kids do mean stuff like that all the time. Whenever I was little, I coated up my finger in ketchup and then started screaming to make my grandmother come running.

She's only five, she probably doesn't know what abortion is.

#41, I know, then when the little joker goes and finds out, that'll really screw her up. Sometimes pranks backfire hard!

While I love a good prank as much as the next one, I think that might be going a bit far. God knows what hearing that would do to a 5 year old....

it's a " time release" joke. One day the daughter is reading something and suddenly a light comes on and she mutters, "Thats f'd up!"

Am I the only one who agrees with #31? thinking your daughter is dead must be the most horrific thing ever, sure OP will get over it, but the first shock will last quite a while and make OP feel rather horrible, if I saw anyone lying seemingly dead on the floor I would definitely freak out too.
