This Mom Just Asked To Reschedule Solar Eclipse, And The Internet Can’t Take It
August 21st marks the total solar eclipse of 2017, and America is getting ready for a spectacular view! People are organizing special events and parties to mark the rare occasion, including the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, which is holding a party the day of the event. Unfortunately, one mom realized that August 21st isn’t going to work for her because of back-to-school week, so she asked the museum to reschedule…
“Most kids go back to school that day,” she writes. “Can it be done on the weekend?” The Internet completely lost it when they saw her suggestion, and now people can’t help but make fun of her. The mom has deleted her comment since, but someone managed to screenshot it along with some hilarious comments from other people. Keep on scrolling to take a look!

How sweet were the days were one stupid comments made offline would only have you ridiculed by your friends. On the other hand: you would have been ridiculed for weeks. With the Internet's constant stream of obscurities, such things spread fast but usually also fade fast...

Oh no no no no, the internet may lose interest, but it never forgets! Case in point: hello from the future!

I get the joke but of course she was requesting to have the party for the kids on the weekend before the event.

Hmm...you could be right. Perhaps we are all laughing at the wrong subject. Anyway, the party is that day and that moment to actually see the eclipse and not for any other purpose I imagine

I worked in customer service from years. People like this literally want the world to revolve around them. They make "helpful" suggestions about what would be best for everyone, even though it is really about what works for them.

Why don't some people pause to think before they speak/act/hit the send button? O.o

I can understand that her mind recognized it as an event, not a natural occurrence. She probably knew exactly what a solar eclipse is but just failed to realize that it was actually happening that day. She might've been asking to have the event rescheduled even though what the event was being held for couldn't. Clearly she is mortified by this public humiliation.

I don't really find it all that funny, more sad that we are now publicly ridiculing one poorly thought out comment to this degree. Poor woman.
Celestial Lynx 8 years ago
I agree Wanda. I understand what it's like to post something like this before you've really thought about it and then immediately regret it. I wish some people weren't so quick to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to making fun of such mistakes.

Right okay, at first I thought you were referring to a myth.

When I was little I was told to turn my tongue in my mouth seven times before speaking - a way of saying think before you speak. Maybe nowadays Facebook should ask "are you sure you want to post this?" seven times before actually posting, giving people the time to think a little more about it. She probably doesn't understand what an eclipse is, and that's sad.

Seven times... may be a bit much, but I am totally with you on this idea. The trouble is, we're all so used to just clicking 'yes' for everything that I wonder how many people would actually stop and consider the post
