Words are hard

Today, I had to slowly explain to my son that an "analogy" is a literary device, not a genre of porn. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

How old was your son that he didn't know what an analogy was, but he watches ****?

Sounds like a pain in the ass

Phenomanal job OP.

Irony, irony. Phenomenal*

if that was a category what did he possibly think would be in it? old men in white lab coats staring at a chicks ass saying "hmmm fine specimen here"?

Aren't literary devices what that 50 Shades dude used on that poor girl? An analogy that ran on D-batteries?

heavy duty xD

Any wonder what's wrong with today's youth? YDI OP

how does op deserve it? just because her son didn't know something? that's not really her fault

#23, OP is a male..

Some people just have really dirty minds...it happens.

Now Johnny, "analogy" is a literary device, and **** is a "literal", vice. Got it? good.

Talk about being thrust into the literary hole!

My English major self is torn between despairing for humanity and wishing that this guy had been in one of my English classes, so I could have been there to hear his reaction when someone mentioned an analogy...

I heard the job market is quite optimistic for English majors these days.
