Today, the boy I have crush on at school announced that his family were moving to Australia. My friend thought that it would be funny to spread a rumour that I was moving too, in order to follow him. Everyone has heard it, and unfortunately everyone believes it, including him. FML

Today, a police officer came to talk to the kids at my workplace. He asked what they wanted to hear about first. A group of them shouted, "The donuts, tells us about the donuts." Apparently these idiots are the future of my country. FML

Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" 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.

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.

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

Today, my brother and sister-in-law come over ONLY to use up the resources at our house - like food, TV subscriptions, and other items. They claim to love my kids and come over for them.
