Ann Marie: Daylight Savings Time starts tonight, so we have to remember
to move the clock ahead before we go to bed.
Luke: Yeah! That means I get an extra hour of sleep!
Ann Marie: No, Luke, you lose an hour. "Spring ahead, fall back."
Luke: But if I go ahead, I get more. Right?
Ann Marie: No, you get less. If you move the clock ahead an hour, then that hour is gone.
Luke: I don't know if I like this idea. Well, when do I get the hour back?
Ann Marie: In the fall, when we go back on standard time.
You know: "Spring ahead, fall back." >Sigh<
Luke: Actually, I would like to get it back in June; like maybe June 15th?
That way it will be nice and warm and we can play outside in the sun.
Ann Marie: Yes, that would be nice, but it doesn't work that way.
We'll get that hour back in November.
Luke: But then it will be winter again! What a dumb idea!
What are we trying save anyway?!?
Ann Marie: >Sigh< ...certainly not my patience...

lol, poor Luke it can be hard to get a handle on but Ann-Marie should tell him he can still sleep in as it's Sunday tomorrow, so no need to get up straight away!
I have to say which ever way it goes I tend to spend the day reducing the hour or increasing it, to see what time it would have been, if it had stayed where it was !!! :)
Don't worry - I do know countless adults who don't get a handle on losing or gaining that hour. So it's a good idea the clock is moved Sunday night!
