I think he had money down, pretty early. About the time he was going walkabout to go buy himself a slushie.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, but 'money' turns out to be a more abstract concept, what with ATMs and credit cards and money transfers -- it used to be tied to a gold standard, for instance. Right now, money comes from Mommy and Daddy, it's not some sort of indirect transfer from what labor you do in your job to what's in your pocket/mattress/bank account.

What is even happening?
No, he actually understands that, Theo. He understands, because we've had many conversations over the years when the children have wanted something, and I didn't have the dosh for it, and they thought I could just use the magic bank card to get it.
I think he understands the time change now, but remains totally against it. He was crying about it this morning. No lie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suppose you could wait until he's asleep and change the clocks then and not tell him....

I am practically crying about the time change, too. And The Dillo definitely is.
In other OMGWTF First-World Problems, they rearranged the fucking grocery store, so I had to go down every aisle.
I may possibly be a little overtired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw.
I'm going to be pissed tomorrow when I have to wake up in the dark again.

That's like the car version of the bean in Chicago.

My strategy for dealing with the lost hour is to pretend it never happened. I just keep telling myself that the new current time is normal and nothing's changed. This works, except if I see a clock that hasn't been reset, the whole illusion falls apart, like that Christopher Reeve time-travel movie when he sees a modern penny....

OMG, I've been up for more than an hour before I remembered - today is my birthday!
Fun. So far I have nothing planned....
