Dumbest thing your college student ever asked you?

“Where do I put the stamp?”

Some years back, I started a thread about exactly this:

“Is this where the stamp goes?” and other parenting failures

Until recently, my wife and I were feeling pretty good about our parenting skills. Our children seem to be kind, hard working, well-adjusted, and ready to face the world. But this confidence was recently shaken when my 21 year old daughter had to mail a letter. She had to fill out a form with a social security number and because of that, the recipient wouldn’t accept email. She put the form in the envelope and came to ask me “Is this where the stamp goes?” I was shocked and confused. Somehow she became 21 years old without ever mailing a physical letter! I get that she communicates with chat, messenger (and email if necessary), and that she pays all bills online. But not knowing how to stamp a letter? I now wonder what other parenting failures will reveal themselves over time. Are we the only ones? Any other parenting failures out there?
