Today, my son asked me if slavery was ever abolished. He's 19. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I had to explain to my son why it is not okay to slap old women's butts. He's 16. FML
Today, my 15-year-old birth daughter asked if I've ever had sex. FML
Today, my 18 year old son asked me to check if there were any monsters under his bed. FML
Today, my son turned 18. He now calls me by my first name instead of "dad" and refuses to stop. FML
Little shit
Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML
Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML
Today, my grandson asked how old I am and whether I'd seen Mammoths "for real" when I was a kid. FML
Good news
Today, I told to my son that I'm pregnant. After I'd told him, he looked up and yelled, "Fuck this shit!" and walked out of the room. My son is nine years-old. FML
Today, I found FML for the first time in class, and literally laughed out loud in the middle of the lecture in front of 200 classmates. Today's lecture? The cruelties of slavery. FML
Today, I once again told my son he needed a job and a girlfriend because I simply could not keep him in my house anymore. He yelled, "No, I can do whatever I want!" Then went back to playing video games. He's 38. FML

In his defense, there are still countless slaves in the world.

3rd Grade? That's Still Kinda Old, I learned it in 1st or possibly kindergarten! But 2nd grade is probably when most people learn it.

Teach him something by selling him to slavers in a foreign country.

There is absolutely no way you were taught that in Kindergarten. Third grade seems about right.

Wouldn't it be something if you could sue the teachers? "My son doesn't know algebra! It's all your fault Mr. Gonads. How could you not teach him this!?" "Well ma'am, your son hasn't been in school for 2 years. If he would have came we would have taught him it." "No, it's your fault for him not being there! He said your name made him laugh and he couldn't concentrate. I'm taking you to court for making my son an idiot!" Ahh, America..

Oh come on! I knew we were getting a bit too quick to pull the lawsuit card, but this is ******* ridiculous!
TheTacoMan 24

No because with my parents, I really think Alavert wasn't abolished its just that it's not very easy to find with parents nowadays

OP might have been paraphrasing. She didn't use a quote.

There's still slaves in the world. It's called being in retail. OP's kid is on to something.
