Today, my daughter tried to make pasta by putting a pot on the stove, pouring the noodles in without adding water, and turning on the stove. Then she asked me, "How come these aren’t getting soft like when you make them?" She’s 19. FML

Today, I put leftovers in the microwave, pressed two minutes, and walked away. I came back to discover I'd started the kitchen timer instead. I'd spent two minutes waiting for food that had never even started warming up. FML

Today, I had to explain very slowly to my mum why she cannot put metal cutlery in the microwave. She did it anyway. FML

Today, I spent an hour and a half trying to rid my house of smoke and burnt plastic smell because my little sister didn't know she was supposed to add water in the package of microwaveable mac and cheese. FML

Today, I left my daughter with a babysitter for the first time. When I came home, my microwave was ruined because they had attempted to heat cans of Play-Doh as a science experiment. FML

Tell her "120 seconds."

Was it OP's son or daughter? xD

30, the use of DAUGHTER and SHE makes it obvious it's her daughter.
meli1195 31
I think #30 must be friends with OPs daughter
adoseofmicki 12
Besides if she's old enough to use the microwave, she's too old for that question.
IloveToLaugh143 21
I asked that to point out the obviousness of the answer, like OP's daughter did, except the answer wasn't obvious to her.

I'll give you an A for effort, 63.

42, actually, by using advanced technology, hacking into the server, finding the secret files, and digging into the codes, I can confirm that the use of "daughter" and "she" implies that OP has a son.

I sincerely hope, for the sake of the child, that your daughter just had a momentary brain fart.

Sometimes it's different with microwaves. For a popcorn bag states 2:30 I usually have to set it at Two minutes or it would burn.

The generation is getting dumber and dumber.

Some microwaves are more powerful than others. While 2 minutes may be the logical response, more or less time may be needed.

this generation isn't getting dumber, people just don't post on FML when their kid aces their finals.

Sadly, this isn't the only evidence the generations are getting dumber.

i wouldn't say dumber because that makes people upset. we are more tolerant i can definately say that
MisterGasMoney 16
If you can say FML when your kid aces their finals, you may have a problem.

yet we are better at technology and life saving sciences because you have to be stupid to do science...

Judging this entire generation based on a few kids' dumb acts is kind of...dumb.
ForFudgeSake 6
it's because this generation is living off of things like, well, microwave noodles.

Lol Why did your comment make me laugh so hard?

It would be less weird if she was 5 as opposed to 20.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that your daughter really should know better.

well people also ask when the 4th of july is
badluckalex 23
I always hear people ask when cinco de mayo is
SmoothPancakes 10
Well, to be fair to those people, they're most likely asking what day it's on, like it being on Friday this year for example. Some may not know what day it'll fall on, especially a month or two out, and thus ask what day it's on if they don't have a calendar handy.
ForFudgeSake 6
Friday.

Hopefully you will take it as his learning curve

Lol how did you get "his"? OP specified it was their daughter.

It all depends how old she is

more like FHL. if she can't figure out something as simple as that, life's gonna be hard for her.
