Whimsical People Who Took Things Far Too Literally

Clocks Need Hands Too

This worksheet asked students to draw hands on each of the clocks in the picture. Well, this kid definitely followed the instructions, but they took them a bit too literally. Rather than drawing on clock hands, they added human arms and hands to each clock, creating some interesting new creatures!

While this kid probably didn’t get any points for this assignment, we’ve got to give them some credit–they were just doing what the worksheet asked. And considering how many photos there are in this article of similar situations where the instructions were misinterpreted (purposefully or not, that’s up for debate), it looks like the real problem here is the unclear workbook instructions.
