Losing but gaining...Gaining but losing

This morning, I arose slightly earlier than usual because I had changed my salon appointment to early AM. When I walked into the den, there sat Kendra and her dad talking away, as if they had been there for hours (Maybe they had been; Don said she came over before anyone was up). I looked at my watch and thought the time was incorrect so I checked the time on the television for accuracy. Sure enough, my watch was inaccurate. I told Kendra, "I need to hurry; my watch is losing time". She responded, "Losing time? Your watch is losing time? How is that?" I told her that it was 15 minutes behind the TV. Then she said,"I don't think the watch is losing time; I think the watch is gaining time." Hmm...I always thought if the clock's time is behind the real time, then it was losing time but what she says makes a lot of sense. My watch was indeed gaining time by losing time. If the watch had gained some time, it would be losing time, right? Am I now totally confused or what? Have I ever told you that I have a smart daughter! I think I need to put my brain to bed now...good night.
