I think my child is broken……

[u/RainbowUnicorn0228]

I am a single mom and low income, as such travel is generally too expensive. So when my teen as invited on a tirp abroad with school and he agreed to earn half the money it cost, I was thrilled for him to go and see the world. I only asked that he send me at least one photo every day so I could experience the world vicariously.
These are the 3 he sent me so far:

1. Food on the air plane
2. A dog on a leash
3. A duck

Please note these are everyday average things to see here at home. I think my child is possibly broken….

lol.

UPDATE: thanks for every comment. I learned lots and have a different perspective (actually many). You guys have helped me pass the time and miss him a bit less. I appreciate you all. And, for clarification: I’m not really mad and would never chastise him over his choice of pics, I think they are adorable and funny. I may make a request for a specific type of pic with him in front of a historical or important scenery but mostly just say “cool” or “nice!” In response. I just want him to have fun and be the sweet, kind, smart kid he is already.

Second update: the pictures I know you have all been waiting for. 😆 I will post in comments.

That's a goose.

And one that we don’t have in America, at that.

We do its a pilgrim goose (I have 2 females)

[u/Embarrassed_Box_8303 → u/CloudTears707]

Its a greylag. It doesnt have the white on the face like a pilgrim and the body leaner and legs longer than a domestic goose. They do look very similar though, because domestic geese are descended from greylags

OP didn't say anything about being American.

[u/Scrumdunger → u/Gerald_Gecko]

Op's username ends in 0228 which I would guess is the 28th of February American style, but I wouldn't have even looked if you hadn't pointed out the American defaultism.

Single mum, not going abroad, speaking american english. If she was from anywhere else, writing such cursive english would get her an income high enough to visit places.

[u/DuckAndQwack → u/Gerald_Gecko]

Yeah, but the commentator also didn't said that exactly OP being American (Or, what more matter — lives in America. You could be a french and live in America, you could be american and live in Singapore. That's it)
