Does this make me a bully?

Shane really, really wanted the tablet. I told him not to bug me about until 7:00 PM. He pouted and said something like "You're mean," so I replied, "Okay. 7:15 then."

Well, Carrie was watching Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, so Shane hopped up into a chair and began to zombie out.

I thought, "I bet he's so zoned in to the TV he can't keep track of time."

So I changed the kitchen clocks. It was nothing big at first, only five minutes back. The clocks on the microwave and stove beeped loudly as I changed them, but Shane never turned around.

A few minutes later, he checked the clocks and said, "Aw, man! Not yet!?"

So I did it again.

On the third try, Carrie realized what I was dong. She mouthed, "Oh, you're bad!" I managed not to laugh out loud.

Shane didn't realize he'd gone a few minutes back in time, so I got bolder on the fourth reset.

I felt a little guilty by the 5th time I reset the clock. I set it back extra to try and make it more obvious something was amiss!

Shane was very confused when he realized he went back in time. He thought something was wrong with the clock. 

"Did the power flicker?" Shane asked.

"Are the clocks blinking?" I asked in return.

"No." Shane answered. 

"Did the TV ever turn off?"

Again, Shane answered, "No."

Dawning realization hit after a few more guided questions. Carrie and I laughed and I tried to pull some sort of "Pay attention to your surroundings type lesson" off and gave him the tablet. I let him stay up a little later as a show of good will!
