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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

And that's what you get for teaching evolution in schools instead of science I guess!

Evolution isn't fact, guys. It's a THEORY.

I know what a scientific theory is. It's when scientists test something repeatedly and get the same answer, so they establish it as a theory. If you ask me, you're the one making a fool of yourself, for believing everything you hear. They shouldn't be teaching evolution in school, because it isn't 100% proven. If evolution is real, then why are there still monkeys? Shouldn't they have evolved or be evolving? Just something to think about.

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I believe in Creation. You can believe in whatever you choose, but don't call me stupid for not agreeing with you.

Still better than thinking Europe is a country and france is the capital. I think I saw something like it on "smarter than a 5th grader" :p

Hopefully he knew Australia was in a different country at least. Not part of another state. I've been asked numerous times what state in the US an Aussie accent is from...

Do you mean Australia IS another country, separate from the USA? I promise you, there are many countries that are not part of the United States. Every other country, in fact.

Not on our map. After we got Alaska, 500 miles from the mainland, and Hawaii, 2000 miles from the mainland, we figured that it was no big deal to add the other countries in. Canada has always wanted to be a state, so that's a no brainer. We just added all the European, African, MiddleEast and Asian countries, slapped on some more stars on the flag and we're good to go.

Heard some american boy talking about europian countries royal houses are on the power... Not at all they are mere mascots of our countries. We have primeministers. Kinda like a president. And that you can get a fine for cursing xD what? No! We have freedom of speech aswell. Gosh. XD it made me chuckle though.

I'm glad (assuming) he knew that Australia's seasons are different to America. But he doesn't seem to quite catch the concept.

Well, benefit of the doubt here.. Maybe the two guys were talking about the weather? And he said it weird not thinking.
