Time O'Clock


"Mom? When's dad getting home?"

"He should be here in about twenty minutes."

"That's too long."

"It's not so long."

"How many seconds is twenty minutes?"

"Well... 1,200 seconds."

"That's way more than 10 seconds."

"It is."

"How many seconds has that been? Is he home yet? It's been a lot of minutes. Definitely more than half a second. It's been at least three seconds."

  4. Perfect!

    reminds me of the discussion baby e and I had in the car last night about einstein's theory of relativity.

    How coming home from the dr is so much quicker than going there though it is the exact distance and amount of minutes.

    He gets it, so tangible when it happens in the moment.
