When trying to explain time change (daylight savings time) to children do you come across as stupid or as a creepy hobo who controls the very fabric of space and time?

I don’t have children, but I do enjoy acting like a creepy hobo.
I say, way back when in the times of my grandparents they were trying to control the amount of fuel being used for lighting so that more of it could go to the war effort instead.
Therefore, we still comply, though don’t ask me why!
They should change it during the week day, and we could all go home one hour early instead of losing an hour on Sunday hmm?
I explain to them that time chages and one day my son asked me mommy why is it dark when i get up i said because its time change son it means that the sun does not come up as early he said ok and went and played idk if that will help but ok.
i come off as..
‘deal with it’ . i have to.
………………………………..…
just say..
some stupid asse didn’t like getting up in the dark, and thought it would be a good idea to fk around with nature, so i’d lose an hour of sleep every spring.
Just put up blackout blinds and don’t tell them. Kids ask you if it’s nearly Christmas in August, as if an hour matters.
My little boy (talking about the puppy) said “In a few years, when Jessie has her first birthday…” lol bless his heart!!
I’d go with the guy who elected a bunch of creepy hobos who control the very fabric of space and time
Just tell your children that someday you’ll move to the magical state of Arizona. We don’t change clocks here at no time for nobody!
It confuses me, let alone attempting to explain it honestly.
Spring forward
Fall back
I have the power
Just tell them to shut up and deal with it like everybody else does.
hahahahahaha…yep..kinda..get’s weird..the stupider you feel..lol.
Just tell ‘em the sun is running an hour late. It happens. Traffic, etc.
I’m not allowed to talk to children. That would be a violation of my parole.
I come across as stupid and children usually hustle me for my money. I’m gullible that way.
I’m gonna go with the Hobo thing.
I don’t tell my kids. So when my 23 yr old daughter is late for work, I just berate her and pretend like its her fault.
