When trying to explain time change (daylight savings time) to children do you come across as stupid or as a creepy hobo who controls the very fabric of space and time?

    I don't have children, but I do enjoy acting like a creepy hobo.

    I say, way back when in the times of my grandparents they were trying to control the amount of fuel being used for lighting so that more of it could go to the war effort instead.

    Therefore, we still comply, though don't ask me why!

    They should change it during the week day, and we could all go home one hour early instead of losing an hour on Sunday hmm?

    Just tell your children that someday you'll move to the magical state of Arizona. We don't change clocks here at no time for nobody!

    Just put up blackout blinds and don't tell them. Kids ask you if it's nearly Christmas in August, as if an hour matters.

    My little boy (talking about the puppy) said "In a few years, when Jessie has her first birthday..." lol bless his heart!!

  • Just tell 'em the sun is running an hour late. It happens. Traffic, etc.

    I come across as stupid and children usually hustle me for my money. I'm gullible that way.

  • I don't tell my kids. So when my 23 yr old daughter is late for work, I just berate her and pretend like its her fault.
