Kid In The Store

[Rondy]

The 12-year-old boy stood patiently beside the clock counter while the store clerk waited on all of the adult customers first. Finally he got around to the youngster, who made his purchase and hurried out to the curb, where his father was impatiently waiting in his car.

"What took you so long, son?" he asked.

"The man waited on everybody in the store before me," the boy replied. "But I got even."

"How?"

"I wound and set all the alarm clocks while I was waiting," the youngster explained happily. "It's going to be fun at eight o'clock."

The pedant rears his ugly head again - a clock store that's open at 8am or 8pm? I doubt it.

On the face of it, they might just be.

Time will tell..

[ZebuSanctuary]

Indeed. Did I clock you in Sainsbury's the other day?

[Patsy33]

You might have done. I like the second hand shop..

[ZebuSanctuary]

// second hand //

That reminds me, must get one of those for my wrist watch.
Gnomon knows better than me how important they are.
Mind you, hour elders might no better?

[Patsy33]

Beyond a shadow of doubt..

[ZebuSanctuary]

LOL... You deserve a ticking off for that!
