Today, my mom was taking an online IQ test. To the question "On which continent is Canada located?" she responded "Antarctica." If intelligence is genetic, I'm screwed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took an online IQ test, even though I knew they give everyone unrealistically high scores. My score was 73. FML
Today, I took a legitimate IQ test and got a score of 80. My parents both have IQ scores above Einstein’s. FML
Today, my 11-year-old son and I took an IQ test for a laugh. To be honest, I've often suspected that I may have some form of mental retardation, but I didn't expect to get a score of 79, while he got one of 114. FML
Today, my sister and I decided to do one of those online DNA tests just for fun. Our mom came in, saw all the stuff on the table, and lost her mind. She started bawling and apologizing. Apparently, neither one or neither of us actually belong to my dad. FML
Today, my best friend called me a moron for disputing her belief that Canada is in South America. FML
Today, my mom said I was the worst of her 5 children. My IQ is 130, an honor student, I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol, or do drugs. I'm the "worst" because I don't go to church every Sunday. FML
Today, my mother found out about the psychology exam I have to take tomorrow. Before leaving for her vacation this morning, she grabbed the internet router and took it with her to "get rid of distractions". I have one day to figure out how to access this online exam without Internet. FML
Today, we got the IQ test results back, which show our daughter is on the high end of the genius scale. This confirms what my wife and I have long feared: our 6-year-old is FAR smarter than we are. No wonder she wins all the arguments we have. FML
Today, I got a call from my son’s teacher. Apparently, while doing a test, he responded to the question, "Predict how the government will change in the next ten years" with, "I’m not psychic." FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Knowledge isn't intelligence at all. Your mom can be very smart but just bad at geography.

Uhm... I am pretty sure the OP knows that, that trait is not genetic. It was the kicker to her FML. Can you stupid "retarted" people not comment on anything about intelligence until you gain some Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F. Not "urself", RETARD.

You're right. OP should have said "if intelligence BE genetic," because "if intelligence is genetic" implies we take "if" to mean "because" (subjunctive vs. indicative mood).

That's ok… my mom thought that Canada was IN Alaska, and that Alaska (as depicted in US maps) was an island with one straight edge. I was home schooled by her... Thankfully, I knew better.

#48/jinxthejinx - oh God, that just sent a shiver up my spine. The idea of being home schooled by someone that just doesn't know stuff...

Most parents who home school their children use the teaching workbooks that cover the area of knowledge. They don't have to be subject matter experts in everything they teach. In fact many teachers in regular schools don't always know fully what they're teaching.

i doubt intelligence is genetic; considering that you knew she was wrong and actually acknologed it. albert einstien's parents weren't as smart as he was.

Your "acknologed" seems correct next to the doubt of it not being genetic. Not actually acknowledging how exact it is not to be in any sort of way genetic.

I'm sorry op. Just be glad that stuff like that doesn't carry on to you or your children. I swear to God...I think we are siblings and have the same mom. My mom puts a question mark after every single sentence! WTF?! It comes out like this: "Hi Jenn? Have fun? When you get back call me?" The worst part is: she graduated with a 4.0GPA in both HS AND College! I'm at UNC and she calls me "lazy & a loser"....I'm so lost.

That is a stupid question for an IQ test. It has nothing to do with the IQ. It is a general knowledge question. It just proves that your mother didn't go to school, doesn't give a damn about the world she lives in, has a very bad memory, or all of the above. People can have an IQ of 200, but if they live isolated, don't read anything, don't do anything with their intelligence, they can still be very uncultured.
