Today, my parents wouldn't let me go to the fair because they reckon my IQ is so low, I could quite possibly choke on cotton candy and pass out confused by the hall of mirrors. FML

Well if you were able to post this, and use standard proper English; you'd probably, at the least, be allowed entry.

If my dad didn't have a leash tied on me this would have happened to me. You should be so lucky this isn't your fate. Cotton Candy... The sugary killer

Well if you use words like "reckon" your iq probably is low.

I was gonna say that, but then I remembered that my family is from the south, and even though they say 'reckon' there still educated and intelligent.

There's nothing wrong with using "reckon" to mean "think" - it's the third option quoted above and thou' informal, this is something of an informal site, don't you reckon? There are many turns of phrase used on this site that sound odd, excessively trendy or outdated to me. However, I can recognise that this is because most posters are American and therefore have quite a different exposure to colloquial expression. You might consider that not everyone has the same background as you. Failure to conform is quite different from a lack of intelligence.,

As someone who has worked in carnivals my entire life, I am going to want to slap your parents for being the ones with low iq. if someone chokes on cotton candy I would be impressed considering it is mostly sugar. as for the hall of mirrors part well I don't want to say it can't happen but you seem intelligent enough for it not to. bottom line fyl and screw your parents

I done reckon you fellers ain't spent emough time in the south. Neither have I, but I watch TV, and I can't read this FML without a thick, southern accent. I also read it as I imagine Huckleberry Finn would.
