    Put it in the shade for an hour, so it can fall back. Once you put it back in sunlight, it should have the correct time.

    Sooooooo many of us go through this with our little ones!! We have found that it usually takes about 2 weeks for the little ones to get back on track. We start by adjusting the bedtime and wake up time by about 10-15 minutes per evening/morning. The morning is definitely the worst because WE just want to sleep a little bit longer - but the kiddies don't understand that! In the morning, we go into the room and pat/rub baby's back for those extra 10-15 minutes just to give baby the extra down time. After a couple of days, baby seems to readjust and sleep that amount longer - and then we go for more. Good luck! (It isn't easy - but it will pass.)

    You have to reset the Sun. You don't have to do anything to the sundial. Good luck and be careful. The Sun can get very hot.

    uuuh....huh.

    ....uuuuum...hm.

    uuuuuh...ok!

    after much due consideration of your outrageous and consternating predicament, I have portentiously predecided to propose (alliteratively)...what were we talking about?

    oh yes, the sun dial

    well..hey! how do you tell time at night?

    mm

    ok, I have asked the technicians at NASA now

    and checked with the professors at MIT

    and they are stumped

    and propose that what you need do is move the sun.

    They suggest it may take a millon years before we develop that technological capability, and would you like to buy a nice stolen Timex ...er, I mean, a niceTimex watch??

    ...it's shiny!

    *waves it side to side hypnotically, as every good watch salesman knows to do.*
