Today, I heard a teenage boy ask his friend, "So, is it, like, November in Australia too?" This is the future of America. FML

To answer the teenagers question: No, we have a special month called Kangaroocember, where we all celebrate Australia by finding kangaroos and riding in their pouches. ...OF COURSE it's November in Australia. Just like the rest of the world. >.<

... I can only hope that the boy was trying to refer to the weather difference, and not the actual month, because otherwise this is just another crushing blow to my faith in humanity.

This should be more like "I agree, OUR life sucks"

They could just be joking..? Or having a blonde moment just like we all do..

It ain't looking too good I they end up like him

It's not that stupid for a teenager to not know that. It means that he at least knows that it's a different season in that part of the world. I'm a Northern Hemispherian living in the Southern Hemisphere. When I was talking to my dad saying that it'll be Summer soon he corrected me saying "Don't you mean Winter?". You see, he thought that when it's Summer in Aus/NZ it is cold, and Winter is warm. How confusing would that be?? My husband who grew up in Aus has a hard time placing months with their respective seasons because so many movies, books, etc. are from the US and they depict the Northern seasons. I'm better at telling the seasons here than him because I know it's just the opposite from what I grew up with.

Kinda annoying how every teen/ kid is thought the same because a few are stupid

Since they are a day ahead, maybe it could be November 30th or 31st here, and December 1st there.
