Good Clock, Bad Clock

The two clocks in my kitchen have a different time.  The microwave clock is seven minutes fast.  The oven clock has the correct time (i.e., matches my phone).

The microwave clock is my bad clock.  It yells at me "Hurry up!  You are running late!  The Boy is going to miss the bus!"  I panic when I see this clock.



Moments later, I turn to the oven.  The oven clock is the good clock.  "You have plenty of time.  No worries.  Don't rush."


I need both of these to get my son on the bus in the morning.  Without the fast clock, I wouldn't move.  Without the accurate clock, I would rush him out the door without a lunch.
