Darn Those Old-Fashioned Clocks!

When I was younger the only alarm clock I has was the old-fashioned analog type with the loud ringing bell. That thing got me out of bed in the morning, but only because it sounded like a little piece of shrieking hell. Sometimes I got so angry listening to that alarm sound off that I would throw the clock across the room. Unfortunately, it never broke, and my parents wouldn’t buy me a new one.

Thank goodness, I grew up and got a job of my own. Since then I have been able to invest in several digital alarm clocks. I love these because it’s easy to decipher the numbers, and you can select what kind of sound you want to wake up to. I would never go back to using one of those obnoxious, old-timey gizmos.
