Today, I had to explain to half of my class that yes, my birthday is on the same day as Hitler's, but no, it does not make me a Nazi. FML

Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML

Today, I was discussing my family heritage with my girlfriend's parents. The moment I told them that I came from a German background, her seven-year-old brother pointed at me and yelled, "HITLER!" FML

Today, my daughter is so out of touch with anything not related to her phone and her social popularity that she doesn't know who Hitler was. I had to show her on YouTube, and while we aren't religious anymore, we are a Jewish family so this is an extra level of parental shame for me. FML

Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML

Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML

Today, it was my high school graduation. Because our school colors were red, black and white, and our principal looked somewhat like Hitler, the senior class prank was to salute him when he finished his speech. I was the only one. FML

Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today, going through my late grandmother's papers, I found out that my grandfather had never been in the Nazi party. The reason he was not allowed to work as a teacher was that he had never passed his university exams. He found an invented Nazi past less shameful than academic failure. FML

Well considering we are over 7 billion people on Earth, there must be around 2 million people sharing that b-day with you. Your classmates are idiots.

2 million living. The number of people no longer living who had that birthday (hitler for example) is incredibly higher.

Great news-- It's also "National Get High Day" and "Pi Day". So you can also be a stoner or a math geek. (:

I guess the other half of the class realizes it's also George Takei's birthday, ipso facto, you must be a gay spaceman.

In High School one of my assignments was to look up important dates that occurred on your birthday and write a report. It was so much fun! "Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride " My birthday is that date (not year). It was when Martin Luther King Jr was shot. U2 was inaccurate with their lyrics because this did not happen in the morning!
