Today, my 8 year-old niece and I were arguing over how many letters were in the alphabet. Guess who was right. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 10-year-old niece asked me how to spell "embarrassing." I confidently spelled it out. She giggled and said, "No, that's wrong." She was right, and to make matters a tad ironic, I'd just finished bragging about winning a spelling bee back in middle school. FML
Today, I found myself arguing with a 6-year-old over a game of tag. FML
Today, I got into an argument with a 7 year old. He said that Obama was the 44th President, I said he was the 42nd. Guess who was right. FML
Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML
Today, my niece, who is fifteen, convinced my six-year-old daughter that her name is spelled C-U-N-T, and just pronounced as Catherine. FML
Today, my seven-year-old niece gave me a birthday card. Only she'd spelled my name as ‘Jenny.’ When I told her it was spelled with an i instead of a y, she cried. FML
Today, trying to be nice, I asked my little sister how school was. She burst into a temper tantrum and screamed at me to fuck off. She's eight. FML
Today, I was reading a picture storybook to a kindergarten kid. She could pronounce more words than me, and corrected me. I'm about triple her age. FML
Today, my nine-year-old niece found my coloring book that features swear words. I took it away and hid it in a different spot. No less than an hour later, her younger sister found it. FML
Today, while home from college for the weekend, my sister started whining about how I keep using "big fancy college words" and making her feel bad. My sister is 27 and teaches elementary school. The word I used was "ludicrous." FML

it really doesnt matter if you know how many letters there are. i dont even think it was taught to me, its just something i noticed, like most people do about useless information like that. dont misunderstand, as long as you know all the letters, and can use them properly(yes, i probably did misspell something along the way), it doesnt matter. its a matter of whether you were ever bored enough to count them. i know the name of ever spice we have- peprika, salt, pepper, aregano, etc. but i just found out that i have 26 of them(ironic, yes?), theres a jar of peanuts next to me, and i wondered how many were left, so i counted them. it doesnt matter, as long as i know that they're peanuts and what to do with them. its all the same.

Correction - no one with an uninquiring mind cares. Those of us with a brain larger than a grape found that interesting.
