Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me when I was going to shave my arms now that summer is coming in Australia. FML
Today, the boy I have crush on at school announced that his family were moving to Australia. My friend thought that it would be funny to spread a rumour that I was moving too, in order to follow him. Everyone has heard it, and unfortunately everyone believes it, including him. FML
Today, I live abroad, but I was born in the USA so I'm sick of people asking me who I voted for in the last election, all while looking at me weirdly and suspiciously. FML
Today, a police officer came to talk to the kids at my workplace. He asked what they wanted to hear about first. A group of them shouted, "The donuts, tells us about the donuts." Apparently these idiots are the future of my country. FML
Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML
Today, my son asked me if slavery was ever abolished. He's 19. FML
Today, I heard my ten-year-old brother say, "Are hamburgers a reptile?" FML
Today, I discovered that apparently my six-year-old daughter actually believes that the United States is the only country with advanced technology. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

To answer the teenagers question: No, we have a special month called Kangaroocember, where we all celebrate Australia by finding kangaroos and riding in their pouches. ...OF COURSE it's November in Australia. Just like the rest of the world. >.<

... I can only hope that the boy was trying to refer to the weather difference, and not the actual month, because otherwise this is just another crushing blow to my faith in humanity.

It's not that stupid for a teenager to not know that. It means that he at least knows that it's a different season in that part of the world. I'm a Northern Hemispherian living in the Southern Hemisphere. When I was talking to my dad saying that it'll be Summer soon he corrected me saying "Don't you mean Winter?". You see, he thought that when it's Summer in Aus/NZ it is cold, and Winter is warm. How confusing would that be?? My husband who grew up in Aus has a hard time placing months with their respective seasons because so many movies, books, etc. are from the US and they depict the Northern seasons. I'm better at telling the seasons here than him because I know it's just the opposite from what I grew up with.

Since they are a day ahead, maybe it could be November 30th or 31st here, and December 1st there.
