CUTE: Parents Of Five-Month-Old Believed They Would Sleep Additional Hour On Daylight Savings

ALLISTON—-A local couple recently learned their five-month-old is either unaware of or non-compliant with the tradition of setting back one's clock an hour.

"We're beginning to think she's one of these people with an opinion about daylight savings and how it does more harm than good," Robert Babbins told the Alliston Gerald. "We love and accept her no matter what, but we didn’t think we’d be dealing with this so soon."

The couple have reportedly contacted a child psychologist to have the infant’s mental state assessed after she cried at four in the morning instead of five. 

“It could be any number of things,” the child psychologist told the parents and Alliston Gerald. “It’s probably unprocessed trauma deriving from the screams heard while exiting the birth canal which now manifest as a rejection of the cultural norms held by the child’s mother figure…or it may be a five-month-old being a five-month-old.”

The baby is developing a reputation among family members for being a rebel, challenging the status quo, and going against the grain.

“I remember last month, she’d been backed up for two days, but didn’t that adorable little non-conformist wait until her great-grandmother’s funeral to let it all out?” said her uncle, Michael Babbins, who had to purchase a new dress shirt and suit jacket following the interment. 

Robert and Alyssa Babbins fear it may be a symptom of a growing rift between their daughter and themselves. At the time of publication, the parents were working with the child psychologist to brace for the possibility of their daughter also rejecting the tradition of sitting on Santa’s lap.
