All Hail the Timer

We live and die by the kitchen timer.
  • 5 minutes to bath time.
  • 3 minutes to wash.
  • 10 minutes to play before dinner.
  • 20 minutes until I lose my mind.
Once the timer goes off, there are no questions asked. If I announce a time limit/warning and don't set the timer, Jax reminds me. If the timer goes off, and I don't turn it off and implement said next step, Jax reminds me, even if it is something he did not want to do.

The timer is all powerful, and I am not the bad guy.

All hail the timer.
