Hello! First time poster, obligatory did not happen today but on Tuesday (election day in US)
A bit of background: I (21F) live in Missouri. We voted on Tuesday whether or not to legalize marijuana (it passed). I have a very conservative family that is completely against it. I'm all for it because I smoke on occasion and why not. My parents most definitely do not know this about me.
The FU happened when I was eating dinner with my parents, brother, and a couple extended family members on Tuesday evening. We got to talking about the election and my brother asks me what I voted on Amendment 3 (the marijuana question). Instead of saying no like a good noodle, I said yep I sure did vote yes. The whole table went silent for a sec and just stared at me. My mom breaks the silence by saying "you did WHAT?!" and "did I not raise you right?"
So now my family thinks I'm a delinquent who doesn't care that children will now have easier access to get high.
Edit: I've gotten the question a few times so I'll answer here: my parents do drink but not often at all. Growing up they never kept alcohol in the house and only drank in small quantities at special occasions.
P.s. thanks for the awards!
TL;DR : TIFU by telling my conservative family at dinner I voted to legalize marijuana, resulting in dirty looks and shame.
