Nice!
how is it found in the teaser?
Hey, this was good and pretty easy!
The hint was PART of the name is found within the teaser. GRAND...GRANDfather or GRANDmother.
Thanks you all
i never heard of a grandmother clock, i just got grandfather
I hadnt heard of a grandmother clock either. But it was rejected the first time, because I had stated it didnt have a soul mate, and the editors stated there is a grandmother clock So I had to change it a bit and added it to the answer.
i didnt know the answer
my sister got it though...but my mom thought that was weird bc she was doing something called "somking pott"... shes kind of odd..
good teaser though.

good teaser though.
it was a good teaser. not the best but it was a good one. keep 'em comin.
i thought by "my name" in the hint you meant sunrose was in the answer. that threw me off
it was a little too easy, but it made since to me! good one.
OHHHH sunrose I just kept thinking Grandma or Grandpa, missed the clock part though, good one keep them coming
Threw Me!!-Grand Piano, but I knew it didn't fit
A good, fun teaser.
great job...liked this one a lot!
Thanks for your comments. Glad you liked it.
Pretty easy even without the line "I am Grand".
Hurray for me!
Hurray for me!
For those that are wondering, a grandmother clock is slightly smaller than a grandfather clock. Both are large clocks, but the grandmother clock is on a slightly smaller scale than the grandfather counterpart.
CUTE, BUT PRETTY EASY! A FEW LESS CLUES AND IT WOULD BE BETTER.
Fun quiz!!
pretty easy
Have to agre with everyone else, too much information made it too easy. Good for a Monday morning, tho.
Got it in no TIME
not sure why, but grandfather clock popped into my head after reading the first line, so all the other lines just confirmed my first thought.
i didn't get it. great teaser!
Very good riddle! Nicely done!
I have a grandfather and grandmother clock that came from Germany.

Nice teaser. I once heard that any clock over 6 feet tall was a Grandfather clock, while any under 6 feet tall was a Grandmother clock. Sounds logical.
It's not really my type of teaser but it's quite good
Got it after the hint! Its about time, I solved one...!!!???
Had to think on this one!!!
I figured it out after I read the clue. That was a very good teaser. Thanks for posting.

great, but too many hints. The "I am Grand" really gave it away
hey sunrose that was great
I agree with stupinater, fun as it was, there were too many hints and Grand gave it away. You are really good at making riddles fun, imagine how much better they would be if they weren't so obvious!

Great teaser! Got it on the first line, too. There is also a Granddaughter clock, usually made to look whimsical for a child. Shorter than 4 ft in. I used to work in kids furniture sales.
good teaser....
Good teaaser, Sunrose. I enjoyed it,
Excellent teaser, getting it was fun.
Easy, but lots of fun!
It was easy, but i enjoyed it. Thx.

Quick and easy!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
I did not know the thing about the weights, but I got it from the lines afterward.
Nicely written, but the many clues, made it too easy!
