Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

So do some adults…
Today, I discovered that apparently my six-year-old daughter actually believes that the United States is the only country with advanced technology. FML

Today, I was telling my girlfriend about how my parents are flying out to Japan today on vacation. She was shocked at how short the flight will be, because "It's on the other side of the world." We live in the USA, and it seems I'm dating a Flat Earther. FML

You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone
Today, my only daughter and her boyfriend sat me down for an important talk. I was thrilled, thinking they were engaged or pregnant. They actually wanted to tell me they're moving half way around the world. FML

Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML

You would be surprised at how many kids actually don't know this stuff then.

I think this goes back on you OP making sure when she was in school that she was actually doing her homework and asking what she learned everyday. or instead of only leaving it up to the schools to teach your kid teach her things to.

YDI Op, for your daughter being 17 and not knowing what country she lives in. I don't really understand how it's never once came up. Has she been flunking out of school? I suggest you make your kid start reading and studying. Also, what country did she think she lived in? Or did she think your state was a country? Lol. You fail for raising such a dumbass that is going to be a burden on society.

Statistics actually show that around 50% of Americans can't find the United States on the map...

That is really sad. I live in California, and I know I live in the USA. I'm also 17

I'm not sure if I should say FYL or YDI. On the one hand, that's pretty bad. You're child is an idiot. Aaand on the OTHER hand... You DID raise that idiot.
