I have a confession to make. The fact that the “Due Date Countdown” clock is two hours off really bothers me. And what’s really killing me is that I can’t figure out how to change it! You see, it’s now 10:30 PM, but the clock is currently saying that there are three and a half hours left in the day. There’s got to be some sort of UTC setting I can change in the script in order to get it right, but I can’t find it. It’s killing me.
So do you figure I’ll pass on all of my neurotic/perfectionist/anal-retentive qualities to my child, or will Meg’s “who cares, no one’s going to notice anyway” attitude manage to squeeze in for some genetic real estate of her own? If I were a normal, well-adjusted parent, I’d probably say something like “well, let’s hope they get a little bit of both.”
The truth is… I find myself secretly hoping for a child who would be bothered by a countdown clock that’s running two hours late.
