This attempt to help kids stay on time was hilariously lost on some adults and it’s a timeless facepalm

In the facepalm hall of fame this is surely somewhere close to the very top.

It’s a rather cleverly customised clock to help kids get stuff done in time – homework, playtime, dinner and all that stuff – which just gone viral on Reddit.

And not for the first time, we reckon.

Not because of the clock – admirable as it is – but because of the comments that followed.

‘People trying to understand clocks,’ said CarrollBaker who shared it.

Ooof.
