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.

8- thats true but if the american education system focused on other countries besides itself theyd be more informed. (ie. i live in Canada and an online friend in Oregon thought we didnt have our own money but Euros). xD

I see where he's coming from: the actual seasons are opposite over there. It's a little stupid, but far better than people in the US thinking that THEY won the 2nd world war, that Europe is a country and many other things...

This is a valid question. Though everyone is on the same month, the temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere are of the exact opposite season as they are in in the Norther Hemisphere. Example: If he's living in North America where it is freezing cold right now and he can't take it, a trip to Australia would be perfect, since they are just hitting there warm season :)

It's living zombie brain viruses that are the cause.
