Puzzle Alarm Clock

While this may come in handy later in our son's teenage years, we'd like to know who is the evil mind responsible for the Puzzle Alarm Clock?

Urban Outfitter's Puzzle Alarm Clock, $22, sends puzzle pieces hurling through space when your alarm clock rings. To make the alarm go off, simply place the pieces back in the correct spot. We're not sure how successful this would be in our home as we picture ourselves using a sledgehammer to put the pieces back on the mornings when we've woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

Still, it would make a great gag gift for older children. Plus we like the fact that it reminds us of that classic game of simultaneous annoyance and nail biting, Perfection.

Wow, a sadistic person came up with that idea! Earlier this week I slept on my hands or something because both were numb when I woke up (I'm eight months pregnant and seem to have carpal tunnel.) I couldn't get the clock to stop ringing, I was battering it with my flipper hands but nothing was happening. Finally my husband woke and reached over me and turned it off.

Pencil, the image of flipper hands totally just made me snort. :)

That is something I needed as a teenager! Much better than the buckets of water my father used to dump on me! :p
