Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I walked in on my daughter trying to tan herself with her regular desk lamp. She won't believe that it wouldn't give her a tan. She's 16 years old. This isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Knowledge is power
Today, my mother told me the sun was the largest planet in the solar system. When I told her it was a star, she accused me of lying. We had to bring Google into this. FML

Today, my daughter announced on Facebook that she is directly descended from extra-terrestrials. That would be okay - except she's 25 and believes it's true. FML

Today, I went to my guidance counselor and told her how I'd been fascinated with space since I was 12, had read about the universe and everything, and how I want to be an astrologist when I grow up. She stared at me for a second, before saying, "But you're... stupid." FML

No, that's a really good question! Stars teach us a lot of stuff about how the entire galaxy work, and the Sun is the nearest star, so yes, NASA has been trying to get as close to the Sun as possible for a LONG time. Current efforts involve trying to figure out a new material to stand up to plasma, but we've already got a few probes nearby to give us all sorts of readings--so while *people* can't go to the Sun, robots probably WILL someday!
