Granddaughter snark

She has reached the age so that I've begin teaching to tell time using traditional clock faces. I use my watch to ask her what time it is as well as clock on the wall. I ask her what time it is and she looks and figures it out. Finally, when I asked her what time it was she said "time for Papa to get a new watch."

He told me that some of his employees can't tell time on a traditional clock. Employees are due in at 7. When one of them strolled in at 7:30, the manager asked him to look at the clock and tell him the time - in other words, confirm that it's 7:30, not 7:00. He couldn't. The manager asked where the hands would be at 7:30. Where would the small hand be? The employee took a guess and said, at the 7? Asked about the long hand, the employee said, at the 30?

Houston, I think we have a problem.

harness so she wouldn’t bolt into traffic. On one such occasion, a neighbor said to my daughter “are you a little puppy dog?” My daughter replied “no, I’m a little cutie patootie!”
