My Dad Keeps Calling Me at a Bad Time

Problem description

Why don't you send your Dad a "if it's this time there, it's this time at my house" list? Then you can show him what time on his clock is the best time to call you. My daughter sent me a new clock that brightly showed large letters for AM and PM so I stopped being a nuisance.
