My son wanted to share with me his and his sister’s secret Animal Crossing tips before bed.

“Now this is cheating,” my son started out, “my sister taught it to me though and I think you could try it too. You can change the time in the game to any time that you want so you can get more things at the shop for your house!”

He pondered for a moment, “It could be useful for other things too I think. Like if I wake up too early and the shop isn’t open yet. Then I can change the time and go shopping.”

Even though I have been a criminal time traveler in Animal Crossing since before both my kids were born, I just smiled and exclaimed, “Whoa! I’ll should do that today so I can do all the morning things in my town I missed! Thanks for telling me.”

“You’re welcome!” He beamed and he ran off to bed.
