How to tell time. According to Paige.

Do you know how to read a clock? You know a good old fashoned digital? Plugged right there into your wall, no battery power required? I don't. ( I know, I know. The clock pictured above is misleading...but hey, it's cuter than a digial! Forgive me!)



According to Little-Miss-I-know-EVERYTHING (A.K.A. my daughter) I don't know how to tell time.



Paige has recently decided she must know exactly what time it is at all possible moments durring the day. Jena claims this is a "normal" phase and her kids at school have gone through the same exact thing. Well Jena does not live with those children. On top of the constant "Why's?" I now have to find a clock at sometimes inopportune times to tell my little princess what the time is....



This morning, as usual, Paige asked me for the time. I was half awake, very sleepy (thank you Lil) when I glanced over to check the time. "Eight O seven" I replied. She looked at me like I was some kind of horrible, never right monster. "No it isn't. It's Eight ZERO seven o'clock." She spoke very matter of factly. I then replied "Well actually when your telling time...." but judging by her look I knew my true to life answer on how to really say the time would not apply here. "You know what? Your right." I finally said. Is it really worth arguing with four year old over whether you say O or zero when reading the time? I mean technically she is right....



In the end...I am buying her a watch. After all she can tell time better than I can.
