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

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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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 hate my generation. 95% of them are a waste of life.

Does Tuesday come after Monday? Does a witch enjoy being in a broom factory? Do body builder enjoy directing traffic? Does Justin Bieber like penis?

I've used 'too' before in a situation like this, but I was corrected. So I don't know if I'm right or wrong anymore. :/

You should have told him that this is the time of the year where kangaroos go on holiday and stop powering the gravity turbines holding us Australians onto the planet, meaning we all have to hold onto something heavy until the kangaroos return. Then explain to him that's why Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, so they can be thankful for not having to suffer this ordeal.

Honestly, this makes Australia sound more interesting. Perhaps I'll visit. I'll bring an inflatable Kangaroo.

Not all teenagers are that bad... He was probably referring to climate... One of the big issues that a lot of teens... Ummm... Go through is finding the right words to say especially when asking questions...

Of course it isn't November in Australia! That's in the Southern Hemisphere, so it's May down there. You're starting winter, and they're starting spring. Who's the stupid one now?

Oh God--I know that exact feeling!!! Kinda makes you sick to think about and I'm beginning to wonder about natural selection! I've recently started back to school for another degree and I overheard a conversation between two girls on Election Day saying, "did you know we had to register to vote?" And the other one replies with, "oh, reeeeeaaally? Who tells us this stuff?!" SMH

Australia must be on a different calendar. Seriously kid freaking pay attention in school instead of listening to stupid shit like One Direction.

Well, it isn't 9 o'clock now everywhere, is it? It would make sense to keep November as a cold month as 9 am is always in the morning.

30- That doesn't make sense. Even if they split it only two ways, with half the world on one schedule and the other half on the other, it would still cause a lot of unnecessary confusion for everybody. It's better for there to be a set date schedule for the whole planet, give or take a few hours for the time zones. That way everybody is keeping track of the years, months, and days on the same set-up. It only makes sense for November to be cold for you because it's cold where you're at.

@30. Unfortunately, the application of logic is not coincident with being a teenager.
