Today, my dad told my little brother that Tokyo is in China. This is the same guy who yells at me every time I get a "B" on a report card. FML

Just like how the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Roman Empire took place in Sydney, Australia.

Welcome to the life of a son/daughter.

give him a few questions that you do in class and test papers, that should change his opinion. and buy him a labeled globe/ map. parents hate being wrong ! :P

Maybe he yells at ya because he doesn't want you to end up as stupid as he is.

Actually, my Dad yells at me for getting B's when he got all B's throughout his school years, he's a parent, it's his job to be concerned about your grades, wheather or not he could accomplish the same feat himself.

i hate it when parents yell at kids just because they are just one letter grade under an A, if i was a parent i would love for my kids to do good but i would be a douche about it.

Are they not all the same? I cant tell the difference and refer to all Asian towns as china town or tokyo

You can't tell the difference cause you are a 13 yr old ignorant kid who conceals his thoughts and acts behind the mask of The Prejudiced.

Wow, you should be smashed in the head with an Atlas, the heavy kind!

ok people as you can probably guess I was just kidding no need to spaz out because for you information I have had straights A's I geography for the past few years.

You obviously do not have straight A's in English. Also, what you said is like saying Las Vegas is the same as Cleveland is the same as Vancouver. You are stupid.

Try this: MY dad thinks that the doctor is wrong about my roach phobia, and says that phobias don't exist. Same man who won't let me get my permit unless I have all A's and B's. Did I mention that HE has a snake phobia?

Start putting snakes all over the house and tell him you got them to help get rid of the roaches.

B's? Damn! That's Horrible. :|

Could be he's yelling at you because he knows you're smart enough to get all A's so if you get a B he thinks you're not trying. Just because he sucks at geography doesn't mean he doesn't want you to do well.

there's no connetion, to me. I really think that every father or mother regardless of their own possibilities or IQ or whatever alsways wants the best for the child. and the best includes the est possible job and that requiers good (best) marks. so no matter how stupid your father may be - he still wants you to be good
