Today, I heard a teenage boy ask his friend, "So, is it, like, November in Australia too?" This is the future of America. FML

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.

I can understand how a person that isn't worldly would be confused by this, as he associates November with fall, he was possibly thinking the months are attached to the seasons (first day of spring, summer, fall, winter). I had to recently verify when the Summer Olympics take place when the host country is in the southern hemisphere. Sydney was a long time ago, but they have them during our fall, their spring. It really is odd if you think about it, especially if you've never left your country.

I honestly don't get why people say, "You Deserved It" to something like that. ****** stupid.

well since the seasons are switched around I could somewhat understand how he could mix it up

I love how because the answer is yes he is considered the stupid one. The stupid ones are the ones that assume the rest of the world has the same European descended Calendar. Seriously that is the stupidity. Many different countries had many different ways of marking the years and such. Ours has for the most part become the standard but it's not the only one that ever existed. Pondering "what is different" isn't stupid it's smart.
