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.

How will this child compete in a global economy lacking basic skills?

But analog watches make you look awesome. What someone thinks when he/she sees a person with an analog watch: Wow, he's probably a respectable human being that I would love to acquaint myself with. What someone thinks when he/she sees a person with a digital watch: Looks like some kid just got out of school. Or maybe it's just some stoner. Who knows?

You were right the first time. Standard British English spells "analogue" and the OP is Canadian, which people tend to stay faithful to the real version.

How about everybody stops acting like 2 year olds and just let it go. So the girl wasn't able to read the clock.. Nobody is perfect. Learn from your mistakes. End of story.
