Not the sharpest tool

By Mothering - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, I took my 16 year-old daughter to get a bank account, taking her birth certificate with us as requested. When the teller wrote her name down on a piece of paper, my daughter said, "How do you know my name?" The teller just looked at her and held up her birth certificate. I raised a nitwit. FML

Am I the only one who feels sorry for the daughter? I mean , maybe she wasn't paying attention or maybe she spaced out a little. I think her mother saying ' I raised a nitwit' is a bit harsh. She's your frigging daughter woman.

I never pay attention at banks...i'm too busy stareing & laughing to myself at all the people i see because sometimes there's really awkward ones :D so if i was ur daughter....i'd have probably said the same thing...but thats just me heheh & my own obliviousness

maybe she just forgot that he gave the person her birth certificate. It can happen to anyone.

I think #43 has a point. We all say/do stupid things. It doesn't make a person stupid (unless, of course, they already are.) I've said things that have made completely no sense or are just really stupid and then I'm like "Wait...what? Did I really say that?"

She was probably just having one those days. There've been times where I've made stupid comments and have done stupid things. Nice to know you can say something so terrible about your own daughter.

When did saying nitwit become saying something terrible?

"Nitwit" alone isn't too terrible. Saying that about your own kid and actually meaning it, is what's terrible. Chances are, the daughter was not even paying attention.

I doubt the woman meant it, this is FML. A lot of people write them to blow off steam. Even if she did mean it nitwit is not really mean compared to some of the stuff parents say about their kids.
