Talking Musical Prayer Clock



Bill and I have a complex ritual around getting up in the morning. It involves a digital alarm clock set to about 20 minutes later (to trick us into getting up "early") that I am in charge of silencing with the snooze button. It is just far enough away to require getting out of bed. At least once a morning I cry "Please! You get it!" to no avail. This happens 5-6 times. Then he has his phone set to make a boinging noise at around the same intervals and is responsible for silencing that. It's a pleasant noise so inevitably someone makes a remark about the boinger boinging and lets it go on a while. It's kind of ridiculous, and we've never gotten up "early" once. Here comes this new alarm clock, found at the thrift store, and I am so wondering if we reduced the alarming to just this device, wouldn't my cries of "You get it!" be more successful?
