Jr. is in 1st grade and is really good at math. It isn't surprising, but with his constant motion, some times we think he might not be getting certain things that he should. Also, he is fascinated with time. He runs the stop watch on the iPad and constantly tells me how many minutes until the next hour. So yesterday, we were having friends coming over for a few hours. The kids really like these friends and were impatiently waiting on them to arrive. Jr asks me really early in the morning when they were coming. I told him 1:00. So at 12:53, he came to the living room and said "only seven minutes until they arrive". I said "if they are on time you are correct". Now these friends are driving about 45 minutes to get to our house and are picking up lunch for us too. So, them arriving exactly at 1:00 pm is a long shot at best. Jr leaves the room and continues running a muck destroying everything in his path as usual for the next few minutes. At 1:03, Jr enters the room I am sitting in and proclaims "They are not on time!" with a disappointed look on his face. He then leaves the room. The humor comes from the way he said it. He was right, they were not on time.
