True Life: I Faked Daylight Savings

That's right.
Well, the 'spring forward' part, at least. So maybe I should say that I faked 'Daylight Spending'.
But only halfway.

Basically, last night I needed Anna to get a really good night's sleep before her IQ test this morning.
You know, the one she needs to take for Kindergarten. NYC public school Kindergarten.
(But that is a story of another kind...)

Anyway: I wanted her to go to bed early. This was complicated by the fact that she knows that her bedtime is 8 o'clock.
And that she knows what the big hand and the little hand are supposed to be doing at that time.

So, I did what any creative parent would do: before she came upstairs for a bath, I set her clock forward half an hour. Worked like a charm.
