When me Pops was 12 or so, me Grandpa Joe bought him an alarm clock. "I've been waking you up every morning, now you have to wake me. But make sure I don't oversleep!" were Joe's precise instructions.
Dad set the alarm, and promptly woke his father up the next morning. One hour earlier than necessary.
Joe, more philosophic than he's generally given credit for being, (see here), opined, "Well, I said don't let me oversleep, and he didn't." It just meant an extra cup of coffee anyway.
