Just unbelievable. This isn't to say there aren't bright kids out there, because there are, but...just...wow.

This is painful for me. I didn't learn how to tell time until the fourth grade. At the fourth grade I got someone one to teach me.

Now they have digital.

Geez...what was wrong with you? (only kidding!) I think I learned to tell time very well from the first grade when I sat in class and stared out the window and at the clock instead of my work, counting the minutes until the bell would ring...

As they say, “Nothing concentrates the mind like a hangin’...”

Now they have digital.

My Boss on the phone: Find the circuitboard with the adjustments in the edge --- third one down. Got it? OK, now turn that one 1/4 turn clockwise. {pause} WHAT? {hangs up}

Me: What happened?

My Boss: He said "Sh*t, I have a digital watch; I'll call you back." and hung up on me.

No, I didn't make that up AND it explains the "lefty loosey, righty tighty" crap I've been hearing...

Telling time on an analog clock is not elementary to me. I have to stop and think, I can’t just glance, I love digital.
