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

Smart fella, your son there

All you people who think that slavery is a thing of the past are sadly mistaken. People trafficking from 3rd to 1st world countries is big business and the trafficked are often forced to work for nothing. Google "modern slavery in" (your country) and learn .

Well, it is still a thing in many areas of the world. Hopefully that's what he meant.

Did your son mean within America or the world in general? Because there are places in the world where it is still around and kicking. Legal and accepted. And Human trafficking makes it possible to be about and kicking in even the countries where it is supposedly outlawed. Like Europe, and America... If your son meant the world or/and illegal slavery he asked a very broad question.

Sex slaves, child slaves, working slaves? Still large in many Asian, African, and European countries, as well as U.S.

Was he specifically speaking about US slavery? Because there is still slavery in the world.

Well the 13th Amendment didn't become officially ratified in Mississippi until this year due to a "technical oversight," sooo...
