Today, I joked with a pregnant girl in a state juvenile correctional facility where I work that eating a lot of candy would damage the unborn baby's teeth. Without batting an eye, she responded that she would simply "eat some toothpaste after the candy." FML

OP here. Yeah, I was joking, they aren't always the most sophisticated of jokes, but it gives one a sense of where the kid may or may not be coming from. The kid, unfortunately, was not joking, and I had to explain a few things to her. Thanx for the comments. For those of you who said stop joking around and do your job...it'd be a mighty dreary place if there was no humor (lame as it may or may not be). It IS a portion of our job. This post was mostly meant as a, "f" all our lives if this is what the future holds.

Better get someone on the line for fluoride poisoning... But really that's not a bad idea...

Sounds like she was just trying to make a joke about it. Lighten up people! Also, just because she's in a juvenile centre doesn't mean she's not going to turn her life around and become successful. We've all done our fair share of stupid stuff and some of us just had the luck of not getting caught.

Stupid stuff, sure. But stupid stuff that's bad enough to get you sent to juvie? That, paired with teen pregnancy, implies a series of bad decisions that will likely continue.

Bad enough to get sent to juvie while pregnant... Huh the protagonist of ABC's sadly consistently declining in quality show Once Upon A Time ended up pregnant in juvie for receiving stolen property, from the father of her child, who abandoned her. Emma gave the kid up for adoption and went on to become a bail bondswoman. And reality is supposed to be stranger than fiction. (Though if the shows gotten worse since I quit back mid season 2, I doubt reality can beat the family tree nonsense of OUAT)

She responded to your stupid joke with a comment of the same level of intelligence. I think she was mocking you.

I'm wondering if the OP would get in trouble with his superiors for posting pertinent information about an inmate on the internet.

What pertinent information do you think she posted? She didn't give the name of the inmate or even the name of the facility.

No pertinent info was given out. No name, state, facility name, age or other identifying features so there's no worry of getting in trouble. I think someone is trying to cover up being as dumb as this girl!

Not sure if this FML applies to you but it certainly applies to the unborn baby!
