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

Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML

Today, I was assigned to fill in for a French teacher who was out sick. I had asked the class to name some French-speaking countries. I called on one girl and she replied, "Uh, Europe. That's, like, the only other one, right?" Nobody disagreed. I'm filling in for the rest of the month. FML

Today, I was giving an anti-drugs speech to a group of ninth graders. I got onto the topic of trafficking from problem countries and asked a student to point out Mexico City on a map. He hesitated a few seconds before pointing at Canada. What the hell has the education system come to? FML

Today, some people in my class here in New Zealand found out that I'm from Canada, then spent the rest of the period asking if I had a pet moose and whether or not I lived in an igloo. They were completely genuine questions. FML

Should have just told her Canada. And Alaska is Cold America while Hawaii is Hot America.

Once a guy told me that isn't Germany next to Texas, and said that isn't far at all cuz I told him I have been to Germany. So no surprise when she asked you where is North America. I feel your pain.

I'm honestly hoping she was kidding. But knowing how and uninformed some of the younger generation is, I wouldn't be surprised at all. People still don't know that Africa is not a country.

Did she follow up by asking if she's going to have to pay to build the wall between North America and President Trump's America?

Someone once asked me where in Paris England was. It's surprisingly easy to get through life with no geographical awareness.
