The Mystery Of The Timex Clock


I have an alarm clock. (no duh) Everybody should have one. Everyone should have one that isn't as weird as mine. You see, when I was in Maine for 4 days, my alarm was still set for about 6:30 A.M. It went off, of course, at 6:30 A.M., rather loudly. My dad tried to turn it off, but couldn't figure it out. I don't blame him, especially when he's dealing with my alarm clock. Some are super-easy, and some are much harder than they need to be. He never did turn it off for the whole time I was gone. (Wow! Good thing it wasn't the buzzer!) It was set to one of my favorite radio stations: 96.1. When I came home, it wasn't going off. So who turned it off? That is the mystery of this problem I do not know. But what I do know is where the "off/reset" button is. (I'm like the only one who knows where it is!) It is in the most weird place. You know how there's a top, front, back, etc? Yeah. The snooze button is in a very good place. On the top closest to the front. And guess where the 'off/reset' button was? It was on the top, FARTHEST from the front. That's right. In the way back. There's 3 buttons on the top, and Timex (the company) put the 'off/reset' button in the way back. How wacky is that? Wackier than weird, I'd say. My advice: get an alarm clock that has the buttons in reachable places, and make sure your family knows how to turn off your alarm clock, for future reference.
