I love that my children can't tell time - even more, I love that they have no concept of time (hours, minutes, etc.) If you're wondering why... take a look at this conversation that we had in the car on the way to the park today.
Mom: When we get to the park, you can play for 1 hour and then it will be time to go home.
Leah: Can't we play for 2 hours Mom?
Lincoln: I think we should play for 4 hours!
Leah: When we went to the park with Dad he let us play for 10 minutes!
Mom: Okay, how about we play for 20 minutes and then go home?
Leah & Lincoln: Yeah! Alright! We get to play for a long time!
I don't know about you, but that is my kind of negotiation! Why would anyone be in a hurry to lose that kind of power?
