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

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

I'm shocked a parent would post this shit online. I learnt how to tell the time way before kindergarten. It's partly your fault that your child can be classified as ignorant. FHL for having you as a parent!

lol.. its not neccisarily a bad thing considering that most clocks nowadays are digital... i can do it but it takes me slightly longer than just looking at a digital clock and seeing "#:##"

It sometimes takes me longer to read a digital clock because my brain occasionally refuses to compute 24hr clock. This kid clearly can't tell time on an analogue clock at all, she looked for a bit and then gave up trying. If she can't tell time I blame the parents.. taking longer to read an analogue is one thing but not being able to read it at all is another..

Jesus Christ.. How many bloody Americans don't realise 'honour' is the original ENGLISH spelling. Stop 'correcting' people with your stupid bastardized lazy American spelling. They are technically BOTH correct, if anything honour is more correct. If you want to drop letters out of every bloody word that's up to you. Those of us who use correct English spellings shouldn't have to suffer your stupidity.

How can so many people have problems reading an analogue clock, the hands point to the time for you its not exactly hard. I know im 24 but there were plenty digital clocks around throughout my childhood and i can read both, hell I can read the novelty clocks with the numbers backwards. its nothing to do with digital clocks being the only ones around (which they are not) or not being taught in school (take some ******* initiative people) or it being a dead medium its all to do with lazyness. There you go OP you may have a honour roll daughter but shes a lazy arse who couldn't be bothered learning something as easy as a analogue clock.

My brother taught me to tell time on an analogue watch when he was taught it at school, he was so excited about it! He wanted everyone to know he knew how to read the clocks! I don't know how anyone can't read a clock! What the hell are people teaching their kids?
