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

Oh no…
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

Oh, that's bad! Granted, I'm terrible at geography, but at least I can pinpoint where I live on a world map...

that's gotta make you proud! You have three options here: you could blame it on the school system, you could blame yourself, or you could teach her how to twerk...she's gonna need a skill.

Coming from everyone outside of America, we are not surprised... I'm sure she could tell you where the closest mcdonalds, KFC or Wendy's is though...
