Today, my teenage daughter tried to convince me that the UK is a part of Canada. After I pulled out a map to prove her wrong, she got all angry and defensive, and said that nobody's perfect at "geometry". My daughter is an idiot. FML

Today, my mom mentioned how she loves a certain actor's "British" accent. I couldn't help but mention that there's no such thing, and that there are lots of different accents in Britain. She got pissed and lectured me for "lying" to her and trying to make her feel stupid. FML

I agree, 18. Now that I think about it, my parents had one of those spinning globes at home when I was younger, and I loved playing with it and reading it. I'm sure that at least helped my knowledge of geography a bit.

Wait, you KNOW that the UK is apart of Canada, right?!?

Can You Not?

29, please tell me you're being sarcastic. And even then, it's not really funny. If not (because some people seriously don't know their geography and this is the internet and there is no font for sarcasm, you never know), Canada is directly north of the USA. Which is, as the name implies, in America. And the UK is in a different continent, Europe.

29 was making a play on words. Apart, as in separate from, rather than OPs "a part".

#46, I'll resist the urge to call you "Capitain obvious"... it was just a not so funny sarcastic word play :)

Another parent complaining about their child's intelligence and yet do nothing to fix it...

How can you say he's doing "nothing"? Are you an idiot teenage girl? :D

35, don't be a judgmental ass. Your profile goes right against hate. Do as you say.

If this is my generation, I am very concerned about the future.

One idiot doesn't mean your/our (I'm 18) generation is ******, so calm down. This site is **** My Life, after all. It won't be featuring stories about people who do "smart" things.

Sorry your daughter isn't good at geography maybe you should get her a tutor or try and help her yourself. But if she finds this FML... you're screwed

YDI. You need to spend more time with her teaching her on the basics

Agreed. If your kid has made it this far in life and is still that stupid, you've failed as a parent. YDI

There is a reason some animals eat their young. Consider canceling the channels with reality shows (or blocking them) and trying to get her to watch History channel, Cosmos, Discovery, Nova, Animal Planet, shows on traveling, that sort of thing instead. In the age of the internet, there's no excuse for being that ignorant.

I love geometry! with all the maps and stuff!

I love astronomy! Hey, what's your sign?

Canada IS part of the Commonwealth of Nations and Canadian currency DOES feature the Queen's visage, so I can see why that might confuse her. Also, the word "geometry" sounds very similar to the word "geography." I don't think your daughter is an idiot, OP. Sounds to me like she just needs some things clarified.

Perhaps a dictionary and an atlas?

Do you ever feel like you should take some blame for her ignorance?
