From the Gospel of Dahlia:

"Suppose a little girl has a hundred Cheerios and loses one of them. Does she not leave the ninety-nine on the tray and go after the lost Cheerio until she finds it? And when she finds it, she joyfully puts it in her mouth and gets back in her highchair. Then she calls her parents and brother together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost Cheerio!'."

We like to keep clocks around the house. For whatever reason we like to know what time it is. Once and a while there is need to replace the batteries in these clocks. Last week this need arose, so naturally I set out today to rectify this. After a new battery was inserted into the clock and the clock was rehung high above our kitchen, we noticed something peculiar. The movement seems to be working accurately, only exactly backwards. I set the clock to 5:38 and a little over an hour later it read 4:30, a few hours after that it was 1:30.

Two questions. Has this ever happened to any of you (the clock is of the cheap target variety)? Should we leave it like this or try to fix / replace it?
