Today, I asked my daughter what time it was. She stared at the clock for several seconds before muttering, "I don't know". She's 14 years old and on the honour roll, and yet she can't tell the time on an analogue clock. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter decided it'd be funny to change the time on my clock. My boss didn't think it was funny. FML
Today, my daughter was putting clothes in the drier when she yelled, "Mom!! The drier won't start!" I had to explain to her that the door needed to be shut. Her response, "Oh. I didn't know that mattered." She's 15. FML
Today, my daughter admitted that she sometimes forgets her own name upon waking. She’s 15. FML
Today, my second-grade daughter asked her teacher how much money she makes. FML
Today, I told my daughter that she wasn't allowed to eat in her room, so she sat at the table and glared at me for 10 minutes while she ate. She's 15. FML
Today, my daughter, who was born in late 2000, mentioned how amazing it is that she'll be alive during the year 3000. I asked her exactly how old she thinks she'll be by then. She said, "Thirty, duh." I've screwed up as a parent, so very badly. FML
Today, my daughter asked me how long she had to put her 2-minute noodles in the microwave for. FML
Today, my grandma walked into my room and asked if the thing lying on my nightstand was a computer. I said ''Grandma, that's a clock.'' After staring at me, confused for a few seconds, she then farted, and left my room. FML
Today, I submitted my big assignment to my teacher at 1:55pm. The deadline was 2pm. She rejected it, because her watch read a few minutes after 2pm, and she maintains that the time on her watch is the "real" time. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know college kids who can't read a regular clock. It scares me that these people are the future of this world.

neither can i and i was on the honor roll... atleast i know how to spell honor:p

Honour is the original ENGLISH spelling, not the bastardized lazy American spelling. They are both technically correct. If anything honour is more correct.

honour roll=hard worker, obedient. it is not indicative of intelligence. One can be intelligent and bored by the class, which would cause performance would suffer. One can be of average intelligence (or even a bit below the average IQ) and be on the honour roll on merit of hard/consistent work, and basic regurgitation. As for the analogue clocks, perhaps you should teach her how to tell time using them?

omg you guys are the retards, she sounds like she's got dyscalculia the opposite of dyslexia. I have a degree and I have this, reading clocks is hard, counting money and other things is difficult. come on if she is in honors how can she be stupid? start being a parent, get her tested, get her some support and you support her. stop writing on FML like her problem is funny.

The opposite of dyslexia would be not having a learning disability. Dyscalculia is pretty much dyslexia with numbers.
