to complain about these clearly incompetent primary school teachers?

[FreyaFridays]

Had the following conversation with OH, aged 29, this morning:

"I think we should get a cat this year, when we're earning a bit more."
"Yeah, maybe we'll look at that in the autumn when I get my salary upgrade."
"I have to be honest, I don't really know when autumn is."
........... "I'm sorry, what?"
"I know the seasons and the months and stuff, but I don't really know which order they go in. I think winter is last though."
........... "How the fuck do they allow you to operate machinery at work?!"

WIBU to complain to all of his ex primary school teachers, who clearly made a very half-arsed job at educating him?! FFS, now I'm going to have to pay for a tutor.

YABU, complain to his parents instead.

Complain to his parents and remove his glue supply immediately.

Yabu - this is definitely his parents fault!

This is true about the parents. Actually, his dad came round this morning because he'd forgotten OH's birthday yesterday. Obviously, this is genetic.

I should probably not have children with this man.

Definitely a parenting flaw there!

Has he come from a different hemisphere?

That could account for seasonal confusion.

If not - well, er, you could buy him a nice fuzzy felt style wall chart and some stickers.

Blimey - just realised that that wall chart was in French. That might just make his head explode.

If he thinks winter comes 'last' what happens next? Does the world just stop?

Maybe he was off school that day?

Could he possibly go to summer school? Mind you, he won't know when that is.

Nope, from the town next door to me, where I presume they don't chart the seasons much differently from my town... this is Cornwall though, however, may explain a lot...

I think I could adapt the fuzzy felt wall chart to have the months of the year instead of the French words though, Talc. One step at a time...

TheCrackFox, I may have just died a little bit at that.

My husband asked me where ham came from when we were twenty five.

I said haminals and he believed it for a sec

Still makes me laugh
