Dad Forgets Anniversary, Tries To Blame Daylight Saving Time

March 15, 2018

Despite Daylight Saving Time occurring nearly a week ago, and only affecting a single hour of a single day, local father-of-three Zach Prentice has tried, so far unsuccessfully, to blame the fact that he missed his 19-year anniversary due to clocks jumping forward by one hour at 2AM last Sunday.

Prentice, who did not secure a gift or dinner reservations for the occasion, insists that, “This whole Daylight Saving thing, it’s got me all turned around. Are you sure the anniversary isn’t tomorrow? Did you factor in the hour of sleep we lost on Sunday?”

Prentice, who has previously blamed forgotten anniversary plans on faulty calendar apps, a busy week at the office, and perhaps least successfully, the NCAA March Madness tournament, has confided in friends that the Daylight Saving suggestion is “a Hail Mary, at best.”

“Yeah, no matter how this plays out, I’m guessing I’m spending the next few days sleeping on the couch. But honestly, it’s the darn Daylight Saving Time! Otherwise, I’d have definitely remembered!”
