Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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

Maybe he meant worldwide, and not just in America?

Technically it wasn't abolished... it's just illegal.

Your son's so silly! Of course slavery hasn't been abolished! .... Wait, it has? Well, shit. I guess I better start paying the guy who mows my lawn.

The United States still has slavery. We just call it minimum wage.

In the US it has but there's still "legal" slavery in the world.

Of course it was. That's why the sweat shop owners feign shock and outrage when the INS finds theirs.

It's amazing to me how we have an unlimited amount of knowledge available to us via the internet, yet so many people are oblivious to it. As technology advances, the overall intelligence of our species seems to decrease even more rapidly.

I doubt we're getting dumber, it has just become easier to get in touch with people of below average intelligence. I know I've learned a lot through the internet.

I think it's a bit of both. On one hand, people no longer really need to use logical thinking or problem solving because whatever they need to do, "there's an app for that." But I agree that it also makes it much easier to come in contact with people who were already stupid to begin with. It just seems like there are more because we see it more often.
