Dear Past Guts...or, An open letter to myself in the past

Dear Guts of the Past,

Just wanted to let you know that, although the watch seemed like the perfect gift for Spirit, I would suggest not putting one in his stocking for the following reasons: Reason #1 - I know that you think his obsession with time will be subsided by knowing the time...it won't, in fact as he asks you minute by minute how much time is left in Sacrament Meeting, then checks your math against his watch, just remember I warned you. Reason #2 - You seem to have forgotten that he has HFA and new things in his circle become one of two things either his new obsession, or his new annoyance...this one actually becomes both, first he is obsessed with getting the time right and either correcting the watch or the clock he is looking at, then the watch becomes an annoyance on his wrist. So save yourself the trouble genius and don't buy the watch.

  1. Hey it seemed like a good idea at the time. He likes the watch but I like our sanity better so we will stick to him asking us the time every 5 sec during church :)
