Alarm Clock Setting

One of your favourite TV shows in on every Sunday morning at 7am. You always asked mommy to set the alarm for you to go off at 6:50am. There was this one time your mommy accidentally set the alarm for 6:50pm. You missed that show that morning. You were very upset. However, your mommy discussed this incident with you and explained who's responsibility it was. You realized you were the one responsible to make sure the alarm was set correctly. Ever since that time, you set the alarm yourself.

Last night, I was swimming at your house with you, your mommy and uncle Daniel. You left about 11pm. When you left, you asked mommy if you could set the alarm for 6:56am. That was no problem of course.

After you left, your mommy was telling us about the accident I wrote above. Why did you have to set it at 6:56am and not 6:55 or 6:50? She said you started setting your alarm at 6:50am in the first week. You realized your were a little bit too early. You still had time left after brushing your teeth. You started to start a minute later every week. Your last week was 6:55am. You still found that you were still too early. That was why you set at 6:56am this week. Your mommy even said if you find 6:56am is again too early, then 6:57am next time.

When I heard it, I couldn't help but laugh. Why? That is totally the genes you got from your mother. I was also glad that you took ownership and managed your stuff this well. Great work Deon!
