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

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.

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.

I'm picturing Pollon's father Apollo rescheduling plans with his horse Dosancos.

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.

When I was in college and working as a DJ at KXKZ, a lady called and asked me to repeat what I explained about the Lunar Eclipse starting at about 10:30pm. She replied, "Don't they know this is a school night and kids can't stay up that late!!!" REALLY STORY May have been this ladies mother.

Honestly, some people really don't think when writing.

She's no dumber than anybody else who is excited about the eclipse. It's just an eclipse, we've seen them before and they're not that special or entertaining. Nor did they make this big of a deal about it, but I guess in the information age and with the 24 hour news cycle any stupid little thing gets blown out of proportion. All I know is at work (I work at Amazon) we are laughing ourselves hoarse over you morons buying all these stupid eclipse glasses. Half of which aren't even really safe for theirs specified use.

Maybe she needs to be going back to school with her kids on that busy day!!!

It strikes me that she probably didn't connect the party with an actual viewing of the eclipse. She's probably a lot more intelligent than these tweets make her out to be.

These are the people that voted for Trump.

If I had more faith in the basic understanding of humans to understand an eclipse is a natural phenomenon, I would have some confidence in suggesting she meant to ask if the 'eclipse party' could be rescheduled. Though that would essentially ruin the specialness of the event.

mum: hey can you pls reschedule the party to the weekend sun: I seriously can't be bothered. Sorry

School failed this woman. Hope her kids do better.

My grand mother use to tell me to turn my tongue 7 times in my mouth before opening it to say some thing stupid or hurtful ect.... sound advise people. That poor mother must have felt so embarrassed from the people's reaction to her innocent question.What a crual world we live in .

The comment about flying all the schools into the sun really got me! XD

That woman is a lunartic

Unfortunately, it's too late. She has already bred.

Yeah, thanks, I googled it. It has very little to do with the original myths, though.

I thought she was being ironically sarcastic
