Today, my son got to my great grandfather's old stopwatch, which had been valued at a very high sum, and broke it by twisting the hands in reverse. He says he was trying to time travel. FML

What a massive clock

Today, I was babysitting my younger brother while my parents were away. I turned my back on my brother for one minute and then I heard a huge crash from their room. He had somehow destroyed a family heirloom and 200 year-old clock. FML

Today, I proudly put on display the custom clock I'd spent 3 months building from scratch. It struck the hour and promptly fell off the wall, breaking my wife’s antique vase that she'd inherited from her great nana. FML

Today, I finally found out where my great-grandmother's antique handheld mirror disappeared to. According to the headmaster, my eleven year-old son has been using it to look up his classmates' dresses at school. FML

Today, my watch broke so I casually mentioned to my dad that I needed a new one. A little while later he hands me this really nice watch. He says, "Here, this one's been lying around for a while." It was the watch I gave him for Father's Day. FML

Today, I did such a bad job explaining the recent change from daylight savings time, that my 5-year-old son is now convinced that we're time travellers. FML

Ummm...am I the only one who thought of Men in Black 3? Agent J did time travel on something that looked like a watch.

He should've asked Stewie for help.

I really hope that your son is a toddler instead of some moronic 20-something.

You deserve it for having it valued you greedy ass. It is a family keepsake and it should damn well stay that way

Family keepsake, my ass. Maybe they needed the money when they got it valued, or maybe they just don't insist on keeping something that they don't use. Don't call someone a "greedy ass" simply because they might have considered selling something given to them. You're one of those pricks who think that gifts shouldn't ever be given away aren't you? That we should just hoard everything given to us? Do us all a favor, and don't reproduce.

hope the hands didn't break off...and age is a factor also...I am sure it's repairable but he would have to work his ass of to have it repaired...then he would never mess with something old again...
