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

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

Exactly what I was thinking... Anything is possible on the Internet, and many find that speaking of oneself as higher than in reality online in order to create a different perception of personality is a way to boost self-esteem.

Just because someone doesn't spell correctly on the internet, it doesn't mean that they are stupid. Maybe they just don't care about spelling things correctly online. Or maybe, like me, they use an ipod/iphone to post here. The touch screen keyboard causes me to make spelling mistakes sometimes, and I do know how to spell. They might just suck at spelling. A person can be very intelligent and still have trouble with spelling. My dads spelling is horrible, yet he is a very intelligent man.

All #14 did was swap n and and. However I'm very annoyed of hearing that whole "He may be on an ipod" thing. This is still a website, and therefore it's expected that real words will be used...
