Today, my teenage daughter tried to convince me that the UK is a part of Canada. After I pulled out a map to prove her wrong, she got all angry and defensive, and said that nobody's perfect at "geometry". My daughter is an idiot. FML

Today, my daughter got mad at me for saying I didn't really get the appeal of Kpop. She went off at me, saying that I should "stan BTS" or something to that effect. She's 28. FML

Today, I had to explain to my daughter that no, just because the word, "salad" is in the name, it doesn't mean that macaroni or potato salad are automatically healthy for you. She still doesn't believe me. She's 19. FML

Well, I'm Scandinavian (I'm Norwegian; Scandinavia is the three countries Norway, Sweden and Denmark), and I can tell you that Scandinavia very much exsist, as I've been living here for 32 and a half years.

It's not -- it's a region. Does Scandinavia have a capital? A president/prime minister/monarch? She's kind of right.

Depends on pedantic semantics. You’re both right?

What about Finland? Some definitions of Scandinavia include Finland. The fact that it is not clearly defined means it's not a place. The countries are real, but the overall descriptor is a fiction.

Try telling a Finn he's Scandinavian. We'll get an FML out of it beginning with "Today I tried telling a Finn he was Scandinavian...."

It’s funny when I learned about it (in middle school...?) I learned it was Norway, Finland, and Sweden. Is Denmark really one of them? Has my school system failed me? 😱
