Today, my son got to my great grandfather's old stopwatch, which had been valued at a very high sum, and broke it by twisting the hands in reverse. He says he was trying to time travel. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was babysitting my younger brother while my parents were away. I turned my back on my brother for one minute and then I heard a huge crash from their room. He had somehow destroyed a family heirloom and 200 year-old clock. FML
Today, I proudly put on display the custom clock I'd spent 3 months building from scratch. It struck the hour and promptly fell off the wall, breaking my wife’s antique vase that she'd inherited from her great nana. FML
Today, I finally found out where my great-grandmother's antique handheld mirror disappeared to. According to the headmaster, my eleven year-old son has been using it to look up his classmates' dresses at school. FML
Today, I was meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time. When I went to shake her dad's hand, I broke his watch. FML
Today, my watch broke so I casually mentioned to my dad that I needed a new one. A little while later he hands me this really nice watch. He says, "Here, this one's been lying around for a while." It was the watch I gave him for Father's Day. FML
Today, my son broke his hand when he and his best friend had the genius idea of punching each other in the fists as hard as they could. FML
Today, my son tried my great-grandad's 90 year-old whiskey, didn’t like it, and poured it all down the sink. When I confronted him, he confidently told me it was nasty and must have expired, so he did me a favour and poured it away and washed the bottle. I had to walk away and remind myself I love him. FML
Today, I did such a bad job explaining the recent change from daylight savings time, that my 5-year-old son is now convinced that we're time travellers. FML
Today, I accidentally superglued my hand to my grandmother's ornate fan while trying to fix it. FML
Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it. FML

I can understand the money aspect of it but all in all he is just a kid and the watch was where he could reach it so....

Are you serious? Gah I would smack him! Not only was a very sentimental thing from your great grandfather but it had a very nice money worth. Also to #92, deep down, everyone cares about money. Its like someone gave you $100 bucks and then took it out of your hands and ripped it up. Just because. He could be caring about how old it was but saying that it had a nice sum meaning it was in very good condition and the age was nice.

Did he watch goosebumps as a kid? I believe that an episode was made which had a similar situation except he did go back in time.

Should have kept it in a safe place til he was 18.

How old is your son? Reading half of these FMLs he could be 18 or close to it and still be that stupid. Either way, if it was that important and valuablel, you should have kept it out of reach of anyone that might bring harm to it, such as a curious child (they get into everything; I don't even have kids and I know this). I do wonder though, yes it had monetary value, but were you planning to sell it? Or just keep it as a keepsake? Because if it's the latter, it would have stopped anyway, wouldn't it? I doubt you could get a battery for a watch that old. Just wondering.

No offence, but have you heard of wind-up watches? Only in newer times there have been watches with batteries, previously you had to wind the watch up using the small wheel on the side. They even make such watches not, but they're quite very expensive..

send him to the doctor, and not the one in the blue box.
