Ari Fletcher found herself fending off folks on social media after hitting send on another ridiculous thought that probably should have stayed inside her head.
On Saturday, Fletcher hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to express her confusion about “grown folks” attending homecoming events. She thought homecoming was only for the kids who attended the school.
“Why are grown adults at college homecoming? Is that normal? I’m genuinely asking because I didn’t go to a big college that did stuff like that. But it seems so off. I thought that was for the kids in school event,” she wrote.
It didn’t take long for the schooling to begin. People quickly explained to her that homecoming is an event where alumni come back to the school to celebrate their alma mater.
“Noooo it’s for alumni to come back too and show love, cook, and some alumni even give scholarships during this week to students and give back to the school in general,” one person replied.
Another commenter delivered a strong “this you?” moment, reminding Fletcher that her “grown a**” went to FAMU’s homecoming a few years ago.
Instead of just accepting that she was wrong, Fletcher tried to tweet her way through the moment and clap back at those who corrected her.
“Yall offended cause I made y’all feel old. I was just asking. Big and mad, literally,” she wrote.
Oh sis. Ignorance is definitely bliss.
